Developing an ISO 13485-Certified Quality Management System An Implementation Guide for the Medical-Device Industry

Developing an ISO 13485-Certified Quality Management System: An Implementation Guide for the Medical-Device Industry details the lessons learned from a real-world project focusing on building an ISO 13485:2016 Quality Management System (QMS) from scratch and then having it officially certified. It is a practical guide to building or improving your existing QMS with tried and tested solutions. The book takes a hands-on approach–first teaching the top 25 lessons to know before starting to develop a QMS and then walking you through the process of writing the quality manual and the standard operating procedures training the staff on the QMS organizing an internal audit executing a management review and finally passing the necessary external audits and obtaining certification. It helps you to progress from one task to the next and provides all the essential information to accomplish each task as quickly and efficiently as possible. It does not attempt to replicate the standard but instead drills into the standard to expose the core of each section of the standard and reorganize its contents into a practical workflow for developing maintaining and improving a Lean QMS. The book includes a wealth of real-world experience both from the author's personal dive into quality management and from the experiences of other companies in the field and provides handy checklists for ensuring key documents and processes are fit for use–the emphasis here is to help ensure you have considered all relevant aspects. In addition the book is not intended as a “cheat sheet” for the standard or as a review of the standard that only adds lengthy commentary on each of the clauses. Instead the book fixes easy misunderstandings regarding QMS provides insight into why the various clauses are written the way they are and provides a great base to both understanding ISO 13485 QMS and developing your own QMS. The book is intended to serve both experts and novices audiences–it provides special insight on the most crucial and effective aspects of QMS. | Developing an ISO 13485-Certified Quality Management System An Implementation Guide for the Medical-Device Industry

The author an experienced facilitator in government and nonprofits speaks to the facilitator through coaching notes and actual workshop documents and techniques so the reader can fully understand how greater results are achieved. This guide takes the reader through a step-by-step path of a newly created workshop agenda. The author has parsed the workshop path into more manageable parts easier for both the facilitator and the team. These parts split the improvement work into two sections: removing the unnecessary and smoothing out the flow. Smoothing out the flow is divided further into: When the work is coming in When the product/person is going through the process How the work is performed In addition the author includes newly created tools and training content. For example a data-gathering table points the facilitator to what data need to be collected when. Training for the team includes making sure they understand the structure of a process as well as to instruct them and define how a Lean process actually functions.

Several bodies of knowledge are incorporated into this guide––not only Lean and Six Sigma but internal auditing organizational development and statistics. Essentially this guide includes tips nuances and original tools that are missing from the traditional training of facilitators of kaizen events. It provides enough information for the facilitator to think in a creative way. | Facilitating Rapid Process Improvement Workshops The Self-Study Guide for Lean Leaders

Imagine: You are a hospital Chief Executive Officer Chief Financial Officer medical or nursing director patient safety specialist quality improvement professional or a doctor or nurse on the front lines of patient care. Every day you’re aware that patients and families should be more engaged in their care so they would fare better both in the hospital and after discharge; their care could be safer and more seamlessly coordinated; patients should be ready for discharge sooner and readmitted less often; your bottom line stronger; your staff more fulfilled. You enter into new payment models such as bundling with an uneasy awareness that your organization is at risk because you don’t know what the care you deliver actually costs.

The Patient Centered Value System is a three-part approach to co-designing improvements in healthcare delivery—collaborating with patients families and frontline providers to design the ideal state of care after listening to their wants and needs. Central to the Patient Centered Value System is seeing every care experience through the eyes of patients and families. The Patient Centered Value System is a process and performance improvement technique that consists of 1) Shadowing 2) the Patient and Family Centered Care Methodology and 3) Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing.

The results of using the Patient Centered Value System are patients and families who are actively engaged in their care which also improves their outcomes; providers who see the care experience from the patient’s and family’s point of view and co-design care delivery as a result; the tight integration of clinical and financial performance; and the realization of the Triple Aim. | The Patient Centered Value System Transforming Healthcare through Co-Design

Power from Within A Guide to Success as a Medical Malpractice Defense Expert

Power from Within A Guide to Success as a Medical Malpractice Defense Expert

There is no end in sight to the frequency with which physicians nursing professionals and other healthcare providers will become lawsuit targets in our litigious society. While politicians practitioners insurance companies and trial attorneys debate the nation’s chronic malpractice crisis suits continue to be filed. In addition once COVID-19 is behind us and the unprecedented public support for health care providers wanes as it will it is anticipated that physicians and nurses will become malpractice defendants to a remarkable degree. National legislative fact-finding committees and investigative bodies which may be charged with the responsibility of pursuing a solution likely will never achieve a global remedy. Although curtailed by some states national legislation has not addressed baseless malpractice suites or grossly excessive monetary verdicts. Another approach exists however. Health care providers can impact the existing system and influence the malpractice environments in a tangible positive and powerful fashion. Although there will be debate over tort reform in order to bring some degree of protection to the malpractice defendant individual case success defined from the defendant’s perspective as a no-cause trial verdict can be realized if well-credentialed and experienced health care professionals are willing to assist the malpractice defense bar as expert witnesses. The benefits to the health care community and the individuals who are willing to participate are innumerable and worth considering. | Power from Within A Guide to Success as a Medical Malpractice Defense Expert
