Quality improvement measures. The practice agrees to the following quality improvement measures when working with Chamber locums: ● Ensure adequate induction for the Chamber Locum and access to essential information and adequate equipment and a timely point of contact for queries about practice-specific processes that may arise during an assignment. Ideally induction will be provided through the standardised format of the NASGP’s Standardised Practice Information Portal (Spip). ● On condition of booking a Locum, provide feedback to the Chamber Manager about any Chamber Locum working at their practice for the purposes of professional development, if requested by the Chamber. ● To allow the Chamber Locum future access to records of patients seen by them in line with best practice and GMC guidance on implicit consent for the purposes of improving patient care provided by the doctor and improving clinical practice. ● Our Chamber Locum members must be notified of any feedback from patients or staff about their performance, either direct to the Chamber Locum or to the Chamber Manager. ● Practices must never transmit any patient identifiable information to the Chamber. ● In keeping with requirements for appraisal and revalidation, ensure Chamber Locum members are supported in carrying out feedback surveys and audits. ● Notify the Chamber if there are any active or outstanding disciplinary procedures by the GMC against any regular practice GPs, or if the CQC currently has the practice under any special measures.
Quality improvement measures. Work collaboratively to develop and implement a small number of quality improvement measures for behavioral health and developmental services that (1) use existing data to the greatest extent possible, (2) reflect and support the Vision Statement in State Board Policy 1036 and Creating Opportunities initiatives, (3) provide regular quarterly feedback directly to individual CSBs and state facilities for their use in improving services, and (4) are posted on the Department’s web site for public accessibility.
Quality improvement measures. The CSB and Department agree to use Behavioral Health Quality Improvement Measures, developed by the Department in collaboration with the VACSB Data Management and Quality Assurance Committees and available on the Department’s web site at xxx.xxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx, to monitor outcome and performance measures for CSBs.
