  12. Quality Management Program NYSDOH AIDS Institute Quality Program experience: • Clearly defined HIV quality of care clinical indicators for adults and adolescents • Clinical Advisory Committee of New York State experts refine clinical indicator definitions to reflect current standards • Annual quality indicator reviews (ehivqual) at 200 HIV ambulatory care facilities throughout New York State, including New York City • Organizational Assessments conducted at HIV clinics throughout NYS

  13. Organizational assessments Assess the program’s capacity to effectively manage and improve the quality of care and evaluate the element necessary for an effective quality improvement program: • Organizational leadership • Program infrastructure • Staff participation and buy-in • Resources allotted to QI

  14. Organizational Assessment Tool

  15. Organizational Assessment (OA) AIDS Institute staff and quality consultants conduct an assessment of these elements and then work with programs /organizations to develop a capacity-building plan to address any elements that need strengthening. • Offer recommendations to inform: • Areas for Improvement • Annual Goals • Capacity building

  16. Elements of the OA • Quality Structure • Quality Planning • Quality Performance Measurement • Quality Improvement Activities • Staff Involvement • Consumer Involvement • Evaluation of Quality Program • Clinical information Systems

  17. Organizational Assessment Process • Contact in advance of scheduling to outline the purpose and goals of assessment; • On site interview conducted by AI quality staff with key representatives from programs (medical director, program director, QI staff person, administrator, program staff, consumer) • Assessment should include brief listing of recommendations for program • Collect any examples of best practices, QI projects, quality plans • Written feedback sent to participants after completion of OA
