Opportunity
North Shore Hospital Rates of RMO (continuity clerking post take August, 2018)
Next Steps
- DCT, DPE and SMO buy in.
- Disseminate results to Medical Leadership Team, Department of Medicine and TransforMED.
- Explore possible interventions.
- Complete PDSA cycle following interventions.
Aim
To obtain baseline data on:
- RMO continuity between admission clerking and post take events.
- Distribution and rates of admission clerking amongst RMOs.
- Comparison of ADU and Ward roles.
Conclusions
Aim met with baseline data:
- Uneven distribution of admission clerking duties ADU > Ward and Reg > HO.
- Low rates of clerking > post take continuity.
- Significant number of clerking outcomes where continuity might have been achieved in current system, but unfortunately was not.
- Low rates of RMO satisfaction in comparison to other Auckland Region DHBs.
- Very low satisfaction for ADU Registrar positions.
Intervention
To be determined following dissemination of baseline data to Medical Leadership Team and General Medicine Service.
