A Digital Decade

Read More
 
We have more machines that see and do more than ever before to help take care of patients. Though we may not recognize it, one of the biggest technological advances in health care has been our ability to record, store and share patient information using health IT – electronic health records (EHRs), in particular. Used wisely, health IT can increase patient safety and deliver relevant clinical information that improves patient care and shared decision making.

When it comes to The Joint Commission’s Primary Care Medical Home (PCMH) Certification, Sand Point Community Health Center really took the model to heart.

Leading improvement: Go to the gemba

Read More
 
Some of you may be familiar with the term “gemba,” while for others it may be new. Gemba is the Japanese term for “the real place.” So, going to the gemba is going to the place where value is created, where the real work is taking place. It stems from the Japanese mindset that when there is a problem, one should get as close to it as possible and learn BEFORE proposing a solution.
