Abstract

Background: The stutus of quality and compliance to inpatient quality indicators (IQIs) and patient safety indicators (PSIs) in corporate hospitals at dhaka city Bangladesh are not known as they are not adequately studied.

Objective: The present descriptive cross-sectional study was therefor undertaken to know the status of quality and compliance to selected IQIs and PSIs in a selected private (corporate) hospital at Dhaka City Bangladesh. The period of study and hospital data collection period  were May to August 2019 and January to March 2019 respectively.

Methods: Selected IQIs and PSIs developed by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), USA and hospital facilities utilization parameters were investigated. Data were collected using questionnaires and checklists for the period of January to March 2019 from the purposively selected private (corporate) hospital. Sociodemographic information of randomly selected junior doctors and nurses were taken. Randomly selected senior clinicians, nurses and executives were interviewed regarding knowledge about selective IQIs, PSIs, JCIS, ISO relevant to quality healthcare. Data were analysed by SPSS programme version 20.

Results: The hospital has all relevant admistrative and clinical departments, bed patterns and has efficient admission and discharge processes for inpatients. Bed utilization was 87.5% of total 159 available beds. Patients visited OPD: 2434 per day, admitted: 28 per day and discharged with successful outcome: 27 per day. Average length of stay (ALS), hospital acquired infection (HAI) and hospital deaths were 3.6 days, 1.76% (18/1000 cases), and 124 (01 per day) respectively during data collection period. Tests done in Laboratory Medicine were 267637 with Clinical Biochemistry tests highest (51.21%) and investigations in Radiology-Imaging departments were 74997 with X-rays being highest (40.22%).  Of the five selected IQIs, total CABG cases done were 191 with 04 hospital deaths i.e. 2.1% (21 per 1000 cases) and total AMI cases done were 140 with 12 hospital deaths i.e. 8.5% (85 per 1000 cases). No casualties were reported for caesarean deliveries or primary/normal deliveries. None of the five selected PSIs were traced over the data collection period.
