MSQC Care Pathway Development
MSQC is working to develop specific care pathways for colon surgery, hernia, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and hysterectomy. As a collaborative we will identify the most effective care pathways across our state and help hospitals implement these best practices.
Colectomy Care Pathway
MSQC’s Colectomy Care Pathway is now actively being implemented in 16 MSQC hospitals as part of the 2019 MSQC P4P QI Initiatives.
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Care Pathway
MSQC’s lap chole quality improvement targets have been identified as reducing ED visits, opioid free procedures, and reducing unnecessary imaging.
Inguinal Hernia Repair Care Pathway
MSQC’s Hernia Repair Care Pathway quality improvement targets include preoperative patient optimization, multimodal pain management and opioid sparing protocols, instituting a synoptic op note to include common nomenclature that will allow examination of intraoperative practices.
Based on collaborative feedback at our December Meeting Hernia Breakout Session, a draft synoptic op note has been developed for your review and feedback.
Hysterectomy Care Pathway
MSQC’s Hysterectomy Care Pathway development will be explored at our upcoming Hysterectomy Quality Improvement Workshop on May 17th at the Baronette Renaissance in Novi, MI.
