Using the PRISM Model to Drive Quality Improvement in the Emergency Department

In recent years, there has been a push to improve and standardize the quality of clinical care delivered. This has led to marked efforts across institutions to invest in quality improvement (QI) as a part of daily practice. “Problem-solving, Root cause analysis, Improvement Science, and Maintenance/Monitoring” (PRISM) is a model used to detail a stepwise approach to QI in a way that can be easily followed, sustained, and eventually integrated into an organization’s learning system. This model is being used to imp rove the efficiency of our emergency department admissions process.
