Toolkit Helps Make Care Safer for Patients in Medical Offices
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) sent this bulletin at 03/03/2014 01:55 PM ESTAn AHRQ toolkit to help doctors, nurses and medical office staff focus on preventing problems associated with managing lab tests and results is now available. This free resource helps improve processes for tracking, reporting, and following up with patients after medical laboratory tests and avoiding diagnostic errors.
The toolkit offers step-by-step instructions on how to evaluate an office testing process, identify areas where improvement is needed and address those areas. Practical tools are included that can be used to assess office readiness, plan activities, engage patients, audit efforts and incorporate electronic health records. The toolkit also includes a template for practices to ensure that laboratory test results are communicated effectively to patients in English or Spanish.
