Part One: Cybertown Family Health Center
Today, you will engage in a common CQI tool exercise used by many physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, ancillary staff, administrators, and HMO managers: “the chart audit”.
You have available to you a “diabetes quality care chart audit” form. Print out 4 copies. On the left side of the form, you will find seven of the ADA standards of care listed. On the right side of the form, you have areas to indicate the results requested on each of the four patient charts you will review. You, the entire staff of the Cybertown Family Health Center, and two community member representatives met previously and decided to take a look at these seven parameters to examine the state of their diabetic patient care.
Due Date: “The Adult Type 2 Diabetes Quality Care Chart Audit SUMMARY REPORT form” should then be completed with the final summary results of your chart audits by the end of week one of the clerkship.
