Measuring Impact
Tools and Resources To Help Hospitals Implement an ISCR Program
This section of the Improving Surgical Care and Recovery (ISCR) toolkit walks hospital teams through the process of measuring the impact of implementing the enhanced recovery pathway. Teams learn how to use data to monitor progress in achieving goals they have set for process improvement and outcome measures.
- ISCR Pathway Worksheet (DOCX, 293 KB)
The ISCR Pathway Worksheet should be used by teams, in conjunction with the review of evidence, to develop a clinical pathway that incorporates the processes of enhanced recovery and best practices for preventing harms. This worksheet includes evidence-based recommendations for processes that teams can adapt to their hospital to improve the standardization of perioperative care. - Sample Pathway Checklist (DOCX, 227 KB)
The Sample Improving Surgical Care and Recovery (ISCR) Pathway Checklist can be used to track compliance with ISCR processes and identify opportunities for better coordination. - Pathway Audit Tool (XLSX, 236 KB)
The Pathway Audit Tool can help teams collect and evaluate process measure compliance, to understand where implementation and process adjustments are needed, as soon as you start patients on your pathway. - Engaging Frontline Staff With ISCR Process and Outcome Data (DOCX, 215 KB)
The Engaging Frontline Staff With ISCR Process and Outcome Data tool helps teams plan ways to share relevant data with their frontline staff.
