Process Mapping: Process mapping is a tool that can be used to visualize the steps in a process and identify areas of improvement for the selected quality indicator in Ambulatory Care. The initial step for this process would be to take an inventory of the current processes related to the quality indicator, which could include identifying all activities, information flows, decision points, resources needed, stakeholders involved and duration of each activity. Once the current processes are mapped out and documented, improvements can be identified by looking at where redundancies occur or gaps in efficiency exist. Additionally, if different teams are completing similar tasks it may make sense to combine them into one team with specialized roles within it. This process can help create an efficient workflow while also making sure that each step is meeting standards set forth by healthcare organizations regarding patient care.

Analyzing Data: When analyzing data related to the selected quality indicator in Ambulatory Care, various tools such as control charts or dashboards can be utilized. For example, if there is concern about how long patients wait before being seen then control charts comparing wait times from month-to-month could provide insight into what might need improving by visualizing any trends or patterns in changes over time. Dashboards displaying performance metrics such as patient satisfaction ratings or number of readmissions due to complications can give a more macro level view on how effective certain services are being implemented throughout ambulatory care environments. Knowing both how successful individual processes are performing as well as what effect they have on overall system performance will aide leaders when trying to make decisions surrounding education and resource allocation necessary for continuous improvement initiatives associated with this quality measure
