Needs Assessment

Barriers/Facilitators of Follow Up

Quality Measure Development

Before embarking on an outreach trip, an organization should understand the needs of the local community. We developed a needs assessment tool using methodological triangulation to ensure appropriate resources and personnel are deployed for trips to improve site selection, expectation setting, and quality of care.

Quality Measure Development

Through our partnership with global outreach experts, we created a framework to guide quality measure development that incorporates the context of an outreach location, including the local infrastructure.

Barriers/Facilitators of Follow Up

Collecting patient outcome data and measuring the impact of care is challenging. We've developed a process to improve outcome measurement and enable data-driven decision-making. 

Electronic Health Records

Quality Measure Benchmarking

Barriers/Facilitators of Follow Up

Electronic Health Record systems (EHRs) are used in the developed world to ensure safe patient care. We're developing an EHR (and process for implementation) for surgical outreach trips.

SMS-based Follow Up

Quality Measure Benchmarking

Quality Measure Benchmarking

How did the patient do after surgery? What's the impact? Using a HIPAA-compliant, SMS-based platform, we are able to remotely collect post-operative patient outcome data.
