We would like to take the opportunity to address the Quality Report scores for Albert Lea Medical Center for Heart Failure Care. While we do aim to improve our scores for all measures reported, each of the measures did exceed the nationwide and statewide scores for the top 50% of JCAHO accredited organizations with the exception of one measure: Discharge Instructions. This measure includes six specific indicators and our score for each of these is as follows: Activity Level 100% Diet/Fluid 82% Medications 100% Follow-up with a Physician/NP/PA 100% Weight Monitoring 0% Symptoms Worsening 55% All of these must be documented in the patient medical record for the discharge instructions measure to be scored as complete. Although we believe that our providers and support staff provide education for our patients on the importance of monitoring their weight, documentation of this was not built into our documentation system. We have have created a patient teaching tool and redesigned our discharge education chart form to include this measure. We have completed our chart reviews for the first quarter of 2004 and found significant improvement with each of the six discharge instructions indicators at 100% except for weight monitoring which was 47%, up from 0%, and symptoms worsening at 87%, up from 55%.
