To estimate the frequency of documentation of glaucoma medications by primary care physicians.
The SDRs from Ettus Research [9, 10] were chosen for the test platform due to their availability, frequency coverage, documentation availability, and ease of use.
Coincidentally, while it was not part of the study, frequency of documentation of assessment of pain also improved with implementation of the POSS.
When the POSS was used, there was an increase in both the clarity and frequency of documentation when sedation was assessed.
A future study should seek to provide not only how the frequency of documentation of POC u/s changed, but also quantify the costs of the intervention and how that relates to the enhanced yields.
To evaluate the effectiveness of (1) dissemination strategies to improve clinical practice behaviors (eg, frequency and documentation of pain assessments, use of pain medication) among health care team members, and (2) the implementation of the pain protocol in reducing pain in long term care (LTC) residents.
We began by calculating the frequency of documentation of communication disorder ICD-9 codes across the 81 patient chart notes.
Moreover, the structural and process indicators are, at times, necessary but not sufficient to ensure quality: due to variability in the effective use of such tools and in the mode and frequency of documentation describing the care processes, these indicators could be insufficient.
Rose et al. [ 9] used a before and after design to evaluate the effectiveness of the introduction of C-POT in two ICUs, on the frequency of documentation of pain assessment and administration of analgesics and sedatives in critically ill patients unable to self-report pain.
Depending on definition of cough frequency and cough documentation.
