  Summary of my work in the 3 rd   cycle of the Inpatient care Quality improvement project, at KIMS Narketpally.   The Inpatient care quality improvement cycle started with the goal of improving patient care by identifying lapses, and checking progress in 4 domains of clinical practice that impact the quality of inpatient care namely;    ·        History taking  ·        Clinical/ physical examination ·        Lab and imaging data analysis ·        Full case analysis   Using the online learning portfolios of the students of 2016 batch; which was divided into 4 quarters; these 4 domains were graded based on performance from 0-4.

Does her being diagnosed with PCOS have any relation with her other symptoms? Issue of her motor functioning lateralised to the left. This seems to suggest a lesion in the right side of her brain, for whic
