| Popis: | BACKGROUND: Despite the increasing importance of quality assessment and improvement initiatives in health care, national quality measures and patient safety practice guidelines remain difficult to define in plastic surgery. As a quality of life specialty, plastic surgery may require heavier reliance upon unique patient-reported outcomes and different clinical indicators of quality. Comprehensive departmental frameworks for patient safety, quality, and service have yet to be described in the plastic surgery literature. These conditions present us with opportunities to standardize and improve the quality of care. We describe a dynamic model for quality improvement used successfully for the past three years in the Department of Plastic Surgery at Johns Hopkins and provide a tool-kit for implementation across various practice environments and hospital infrastructures. |
