JQC Monthly meetings will be held every month with Director as chairperson to discuss the previous month activities and to decide the activities to be done in the coming month. The group leader will not only present their group activities for knowledge of other members but also get critical appraisal and feedback from them.

The implementation steps will be:  engagement of stakeholders, creating a multidisciplinary structure (e.g.   Floor based team building/cohorting, restructure hospitalist role/enhancing ownership), redesigning process flow (e.g.  Concurrent multidisciplinary rounds), using appropriate tools of the trade. An integrated Multidisciplinary team will be created for human factor engineering to train health care workers at various levels.

The tools of the trade are multidisciplinary rounding tool, Handoff tool (between shifts and hospital domains), Bedside Clinical Decision Support devices and Simulators for Procedures and physiologic scenarios. The care processes to be developed are structured rounds, checklists, care pathways, Interdisciplinary protocols ( eg. Upper Gastrointestinal Bleed) and scoring systems. The analytics to be used are Departmental morbidity and mortality reviews (with emphasis on root cause analysis models), Hospital reviews for mortalities, near misses, adverse events, sentinel events and never events. Common formats for defining and reporting adverse events will be developed. Intra-institutional blames free real-time electronic error reporting systems will be developed with the collaboration of software designing experts. National level Guidelines for the de-identified database for hospital wise events and glossary of reported medical errors will be formulated.
