Theory, Anatomy and Principles of Surgery Outcome Improvement Activity

This Outcome Improvement Activity will guide you to compare and measure your patient management prior to and after applying evidence-based guidelines to three patient cases. Guides, tools and templates are provided as you work through this activity.

This activity is designed to be flexible and enhance your clinical practice. You may complete more than three patient reports and keep the additional reports for your
records.

This activity relates to theory, anatomy and principles of surgery and enables doctors to review and enhance their current practice for patients with this condition.

The steps for this activity are:

1. Identify three patients in your practice

5. Reflect on how your patient management may change as a result of this activity.

1. Incorporate a quality improvement change in your own clinical management of patient cases.
2. Document the process of initiating, planning, implementing, evaluating and reviewing patient case management.
3. Generate safe, best practice solutions to patient cases.
4. Measure your management of these patient cases prior to and after completing the activity.
