Abstract EN
Introduction.
Medical students can use systems to help improve the quality of care in a unit.
Following the review of care within the ENT department at a tertiary centre a number of quality improvement projects were put in place.
Methods.
The following interventions were established: (1) creation of an outpatient telephone enquiry clinic, (2) development of a rhinology database, (3) introduction of operative note templates, and (4) construction of electronic discharge summary templates (eDSTs).
Discussion and Outcomes.
(1) Consultant telephone inquiry clinics were successfully organised and showed high levels of patient satisfaction.
(2) A database to collect patient reported outcome measures was piloted within rhinology outpatients; the results suggest that such a database would be simple to introduce and yield benefits for patients and the department.
(3) Operative note templates for FESS procedures were implemented with a view to improving the continuity of care onto the ward; these have become well established and further steps to integrate these into routine care are being taken.
(4) eDSTs specific to FESS and septorhinoplasty procedures were introduced with a view to increasing completion speed of templates and adherence to Royal College of Physician Guidance.
