Quality and Outcomes Measures Help . . .

[Guest guest]

I am trying to develop quality and outcomes measures for O.T. & S.T. I am

concerned about what I measure because the patient volume for these two services

is small (as low as 2 patients per week sometimes . . .)

My memory of statistics class is rusty, but I do not think I will get a

statistically significant sample for outcomes comparison. Additionally, because

I have small volumes (1 O.T. & 1 ST are contracted), peer review for quality of

care is difficult.

Any thoughts for us in the small rural facilities?
