This area is in need of a quality improvement program because there are not enough resources to provide optimum patient care. Due to budget or staff constraints, this can manifest itself in long appointment waits as well lack of access for specialty services. Communication issues between patients and providers can also lead to delays or misdiagnoses.
A quality improvement program is expected to result in improved patient safety and communication, reduced wait times, greater access to services, and a reduction of medical errors. These changes are expected to improve satisfaction both for staff members and patients. This will help to ensure everyone gets the best possible healthcare, which is why addressing existing issues are essential.
