Standards of Care

The enclosed Standards of Care have been formulated by the QA/CQI Coordinator based on standardized clinical assessment parameters as documented in the medical literature. All Standards of Care have been reviewed and accepted by the QA/CQI committee. OBJECTIVE: To effectively and uniformly assess documentation for the minimum requirements in chart and telemetry completeness based on the patient’s chief complaint. MONITORING: Each year the QA/CQI Coordinator will designate a set number of Standards of Care to be reviewed by the QA/CQI committee for both chart and telemetry completeness. Results will be posted for staff review with any corrective action being done by the Clinical Coordinator.

OUTCOME: All patients falling under the category reviewed will be assessed in an efficient and effective manner as based on standardized clinical practices in the pre-hospital setting.
