Healthcare Quality Improvement

Question: Discuss about theHealthcare Quality Improvement. Answer: Introduction Hi Aaron, I really appreciate your comment. The measurement of the percentage of patients having a high-risk and who do not need anti-sickness medication is done by means of the anaesthaetic indicator. The development of this indicator was carried out as a substitute marker for the occurrence of vomiting and post-operative nausea. In some of the cases, the patients may do not want to take anti-sickness medication, and then in that case, the true incidence may be under-represented by this indicator (1). Several factors can minimize the probability of patients having high risk of developing vomiting and post-operative nausea. These comprise the utilization of regional anaesthetic techniques by which preventive, appropriate anti-sickness medication can be done and avoiding some specific medications which can cause vomiting as well as nausea. This information is of great importance for understanding the level of dose which is applied to the patients along with their responses towards the drug used (2).
