NAHQ CPHQ Question Answer

A performance improvement team has been examining delays in getting admissions from the emergency department (ED) to the coronary care unit. The team has collected data and determined that a significant number of delays are occurring because cardiologists are not consulting on their patients in the ED in a timely manner. The best way to communicate this information to the cardiologists is to:

Prepare a letter for the Chief Administrator's signature to all cardiologists, requesting their assistance.

Attend the next cardiologists' meeting to solicit their input.

Forward all delays from the ED to the cardiology peer review committee.

Ask the team leader to e-mail all the cardiologists and describe the problem.
