During my continued effort to complete my project, and getting distracted every other minute. The completed project is due January 22nd. I found the slide show below put together by HealthInsight.
I feel it provides great information explaining electronic clinical quality improvement (eCQI). Which I knew everyone wanted to learn more about. RIGHT?!?!? Even if you don't want to learn more it may provide you with a clear picture of why I love process improvement and how it can be done.
It also provides links to helpful resources and Meaningful Use blogs.

What
could be added to this blog to help you in the clinical setting?
Thanks for visiting my blog. I created it as a
place to collect the great asthma
information I was collecting for a school project.
The project started
with me trying to create a workflow for improving asthma clinical quality
measures (CQMs). My professor said that it was too big of a project to take on in 7 weeks. My preceptor
recommended peak flow meter patient education. While focusing on peak
flow meter patient education, I was
learning how little I knew about asthma and how much asthma education I needed
to have before I could educate patients. During my asthma research, I found the information in this blog.
This is my first blog, so it is not aesthetically pleasing, but it has great information that I hope is helpful and
informative to you. I also add/edit information as I educate myself and
receive feedback about my information. So please comment if you have
suggestions or comments.
There are links to take a pretest and a posttest. The answers will not be provided for you after taking the test. You may see the answers on my blog. Look at December 18, 18 Pretest & Posttest with answers.
Control Medications Fluticasone (Flovent HFA) Budesonide (Pulmicort Flexhaler) Mometasone (Asmanex Twisthaler) Beclomethasone (Qvar RediHaler) Ciclesonide (Alvesco) Asthma control medications are used daily to prevent the occurrence of asthma symptoms. Patients with a diagnosis of persistent asthma, see diagnosis codes under Quality Measure Documentation, should have a prescription ordered for an asthma controller medication for each month that they have an active diagnosis of persistent asthma to meet the quality measure.

Measure only Met if
G9810 Code is charted - Patient achieved a portion of days of at least 75% for their asthma controller medication during the measurement year. (patient was prescribed a controller medication during their treatment period)
