Cedars-Sinai Context Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Academic Medical Center/Health System Largest Non-Profit Hospital in the Western US 958 Beds, 11,000 Employees, 2100 MDs Basic Annual Statistics 50,000 inpatients 630,000 outpatients 85,000 ER visits 7,000 deliveries

Resources Available to Carry Out Mission MISSION RESOURCES Patient care Teaching Research Community Service People Money Equipment DATA

CSMC Data Management Environment Complex, data-intensive organization Distributed oversight responsibilities Transactional data systems populated as byproduct of patient care Data managed as departmental resource rather than as enterprise resource

Patient Care, Controlling Costs & Quality Improvement ALL depend on DATA DATA QUALITY MANAGEMENT Putting in place the management functions that will proactively assure the availability of data that meets user-defined standards of completeness, accuracy, timeliness, and accessibility

Data Quality Management Principles Adopt a customer/consumer perspective High quality data = data that is fit for use Manage data as a product Understand the consumer s data needs Manage data as the product of a well-defined production process Define Data Quality beyond accuracy Adopt and adapt classical PI/QI principles Establish data governance cross-functional committee make-up, structure, policy-setting & problem resolution functions

Sponsor for Data Quality Program Data Provider Group Convened by CEO as governance group to resolve ongoing data discrepancies Executive Sponsors: Senior Vice Presidents Cross-functional membership includes Vice Presidents and Directors of all departments that provide data to the organization Chair - Resource & Outcomes Management

Task Force for Data Quality Issues Data Quality Management Working Group Spun off as middle management task force Surfaces data quality issues; recommends solutions; and raises them up for prioritization Representation from data producers, data custodians, and data users Chair Data Quality Management Manager

Putting Out Fires

Laying Data Quality Foundation

Risk Mitigation & Proactive Quality Assurance External Data Reporting Risk Mitigation Regulate release of clinical statistical information Conduct clinical data quality audit Proactive Quality Assurance Monitoring data in corporate data warehouse Validating data corrections in data warehouse Validating management reports Performing user acceptance testing on new applications

Data Users or Management Data Quality Incident Reporting DQMU investigates Source Dept Data error? Error confirmed Solution

Data Quality Incident Reporting Standard Operating Procedure Aims to standardize approach to report, handling, and addressing data quality issues 12-step process: from incident initiation & investigation, reporting & resolution, to monitoring 600+ incidents since DQMU inception in 2005 Cross business and IT disciplines and departments Multiple ways to initiate reporting of incidents

Data Quality Incident Reporting What We Track Incident name/description Data category Reported by Error source department, error type Data Warehouse table and fields affected Assigned to, incident status

Data Quality Incident Reporting Metrics Number of new incidents Number of open incidents Number of closed incidents By month By category By error source department New/recurring

Data Quality Incident Reporting

Started Nov 2010 Data Quality Incident Reporting Monitoring More proactive approach to deal with recurring data quality issues Over 120 weekly monitoring routines in place Errors sent directly to source department on a regular basis for resolution

External Data Reporting Risk Mitigation Defining External Clinical Statistical Information Clinically-oriented data or statistics about specific clinicallydefined patient populations or individual patient records containing clinical data, AND The above data or statistics become available in the public domain or for use by an outside organization This definition does not apply to the following: (a) billing data sent to payers; (b) research data under IRB; and (c) financial, operational, or administrative data that are sent externally without any Clinical Statistical Information.

The Clinical Statistical Information (CSI) Initiative Policy Evolution In 2002, a memorandum from the Medical Center s President and CEO specifically required all Medical Center departments to forward requests for data for public reporting of CSI to the Resource and Outcomes Management (ROM) Department for review and approval. In 2008, Internal Audit identified improvement opportunities in policies and procedures for accumulating and submitting CSI to outside organizations. ROM was charged to follow up with Medical Center departments who have not obtained proper approval for CSI submissions to external organizations.

The Clinical Statistical Information (CSI) Initiative Policy Evolution (cont d) In 2008, corporate policy and procedure implemented governing all CSI released to outside organizations to be systematically prepared and formally approved prior to release. The overarching purpose of this policy and procedure is to minimize any such risks, by minimizing the possibility that inaccurate or incomplete Clinical Statistical Information is released to outside organizations. In 2010, ROM Clinical Data Quality Audit for key data elements. Data quality audit aims to ensure data integrity in the input, process, and output data prior to data submission to external organizations.

The Clinical Statistical Information (CSI) Initiative Evaluation of Business Process for Data Production Create detailed business/data process flow diagram from initial data collection to final approved data for external release Identify key requirements in the process Data elements collected? Patient selection criteria, inclusions and exclusions? Primary data collector? Who produces the approved final data? When is the data collected, reviewed, edited and produced? How is the data collected? Paper, database, web-based, etc.

CSMC LESSONS LEARNED Simplify the message and repeat it constantly Usable data = Meaningful data (the user has the final say) Start with small projects and try to build on existing efforts to get early wins DQM work is inherently collaborative: governance, working groups, and problem resolution must include sufficient crossfunctional representation Create a sustainable program, not just a short-lived project, by establishing and communicating standard routines Longstanding data problems usually result from divergent business objectives among data producing departments; the technical solution is usually the smaller hurdle.
