QI and QA ideas

January 3, 2008

Hello Group, any body have any good ideas for " Quality Improvment ideas " I need

some ideas and could use some help. I need ideas for this? A method of

evaluating and improving processes of patient care which emphasizes a

multidisciplinary approach to problem solving and focuses not on individuals but

systems of patient care which might be the cause of variation. if any one has a

good idea out there or something that their facility is using or has used in the

past I would greatly appreciate it, thank you Jeff Nolder PT

everyone giving to a PT employee for lunch and break time in an 8 hr day? Are

you paying for lunch time? I am told that legally break time must be 15 min for

every 4 hrs worked in Pa which must be paid I believe but I am not hearing that

PTs are actually getting that downtime. So, can that translate to a 1/2 hr paid

lunch at least if the time is lumped together? Are you expecting PTs to do

paperwork while eating their lunch in order to get paid for the time but not pay

them if they leave the premises?I would appreciate others solutions and the

rationale behind it. Thanks, Horter, PT Horter Physical
