  1. Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) and Quality Assurance (QA) Presented by Joanne Roberts, PHN, PSC Los Angeles County November 2, 2011

  2. PSC Role in CQI/QA • Title 22 requires State MCAH to oversee CPSP • State gives Title V funding to Local Health Jurisdictions (LHJ) to provide CPSP oversight

  3. PSC Role in CQI/QA • NOT an auditor! • Help providers comply with Title 22, ACOG, and other quality care guidelines

  4. Summary of the PSC Scope of Work • Two Mechanisms for CQI/QA • Ongoing provider education: onsite training, 1:1 site visits, provider meetings, roundtables • Annual QA site visits to approved providers: “assess, maintain, or improve the quality of CPSP services and assure appropriate care”

  5. CQI/QA Activities • Begins at first provider visit • Ongoing – at least annually (SOW)

  6. CQI/QA Activities • Types of Visits • Content and timing varies by County • Examples: • Implementation Visit – after approval • Status Visit – quick check-in • Annual QA

  7. CQI/QA Activities • First Visit • Insist on meeting (at least) with the supervising MD • Assess the office – What do you see? • Review the program requirements • Explain how to complete the application

  8. Annual QA Visit • Base on Title 22 Regs • Chart Review • Written Report to Provider Summarizing Findings • Corrective Action Plan • Timeline for Correction

  9. Annual QA Visit • Request Postpartum Charts • Determine Number of Charts to Review • Alternative Method: • Conduct side by side with staff • Each staff has one chart • Provide technical assistance while doing QA

  10. Annual QA Visit • Sample Tools Available (Handouts) • Start Small • Components • Chart Review • “Site Evaluation” • Program requirements not found in chart • Chart indicators that are usually consistently present or absent among all charts

  11. Written Report • Findings need to be summarized and given to provider • Cover letter – include timeline for corrective action • Attach summary of findings • Attach Corrective Action Plan template

  12. Continuous Quality Improvement • Technical Assistance • Education/re-education as needed • Corrective action plan assistance • Ensure appropriate protocols available • Encourage provider to implement their own CQI activities

  13. Electronic Health Records and CQI/QA • Program requirements are the same • Explain to provider what you need for QA and have them suggest what will work best with their system • Print chart or screen shots • Sit with staff as they access the information electronically • ???
