2 Overview Best Care at Lower Cost: The Learning Health Care System (LHCS) Meaningful Use Informatics strategies to support the LHCS Credentialing in nursing education and practice Data harmonization Advantages Demonstration: NDNQI Dashboards Discussion/Conclusions 2

3 Best Care at Lower Cost The Path to Continuously Learning Health Care in America September 2012 iom.edu/bestcare 3

4 Why now? Quality persistent shortfalls Patient harm One-fifth to one-third of hospital patients are harmed during their stay, largely preventable. Recommended care Only about half of the recommended preventive, acute, and chronic care is actually received. Outcome shortfalls If all states matched care quality in the highest-performing states, 75,000 fewer deaths would have occurred in From Best Care at Lower Cost: The Path to Continuously Learning Health Care in America, IOM,

13 Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) Project* Based on IOM competencies Proposes knowledge, skill, and attitude targets to be developed in nursing programs Goal: To prepare student nurses with knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to continuously improve the quality and safety of healthcare systems Defines quality, safety, informatics competencies for nursing Available as guides to curricular development, certification, and continuing education * 13

14 Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) Competencies Quality Describe strategies for improving outcomes of care in the setting in which one is engaged in clinical practice. Explain common causes of variation in outcomes of care in the practice specialty. Describe common quality measures in the practice specialty. Safety Describe best practices that promote patient and provider safety in the practice specialty. Describe processes used to analyze causes of error and allocation of responsibility and accountability. Informatics Formulate essential information that must be available in a common database to support patient care in the practice specialty. Describe and critique taxonomic and terminology systems used in national efforts to enhance interoperability of information systems and knowledge management systems. 14

15 Using Electronic Documentation to Measure Clinical Competence Clinical Competencies Quality Safety Informatics Are nurses documenting accurately? Is documentation in a structured, coded format? Does the data have integrity? Can nurses pull out data needed to engage in clinical decision-making? What are the right things that nurses need to do? Did they do them? Does a nurses documentation and their patients corresponding outcomes suggest that he/she is practicing at height of their license? Does the documentation of each individual nurse support building linkages between nursing care and patient outcomes? 15

16 Continuing Competence and the Learning Health Care System Current state of clinical documentation is a barrier to nurses demonstrating meaningful use. Strategies are needed to link nursing documentation to patient safety and quality measures, to nurse competency, and to organizational competency. Institute of Medicine Report Brief (2009).

17 Continuing Competence and the Learning Health Care System Integration of QSEN competencies into practice settings: Ensures that all health professionals engage effectively in a process of lifelong learning aimed squarely at improving patient care and population health (IOM, 2009). Supports data integrity so that data entered for clinical documentation is available for secondary use and for building evidence from practice. Institute of Medicine Report Brief (2009).

18 Advantages: Data Integrity Improved data quality for building evidence from practice and secondary use: Clinical decision support Populate quality/safety dashboards Populate quality measures Research Nurses are responsible for defining their practice through what is documented for their patients and by analyzing the impact of their practice on patient outcomes. Provides a means to visualize the linkage between nursing care provided, how that care is documented and patient outcomes. Structured coded data will be available across organizations benchmarking. 18

20 Summary Adoption and meaningful use of health IT are foundational to the learning healthcare system. Competencies to ensure data integrity and harmonization are also needed. The QSEN quality, safety, and informatics competencies can address the skills needed by practicing nurses to build a digital infrastructure, but they are not used yet in practice settings. Use of quality, safety, and informatics competencies across healthcare settings will ensure that data entered once can be reused for decision support, performance improvement, benchmarking, and research. Meaningful use of health IT and integration of quality, safety, and informatics competencies into educational AND practice settings would support evidence based practice and build the foundation for a learning health care system. 20
