OVERVIEW In alignment with VCH PHCTF deliverables, there is general agreement that our teams use the following core evaluation indicators and evaluation processes to move closer to the proposed targets or stretch goals. We will be working in partnership with your team and the UBC Family Practice Informatics, Clinical Decision Support System development team, (BC-CDSS). The BC-CDSS together with our VCH evaluation, IT and CDM experts will provide support for your professional practice to integrate and utilize these tools in your daily practice. Our objective is to ensure that over time, they are built into practice to support improvements that ultimately benefit all of your patients. The overall aim and purpose of the evaluation effort is to use this information for positive change and effective office practice redesign. The Model for Improvement developed by the IHI* is the framework being adopted as current best practice for change management. Key questions your project teams are asked to address include: 1. What are we trying to accomplish? 2. How will we know that a change is an improvement? 3. What changes can we make that will result in improvement? * Refer to the Institute for Health Improvement at www.ihi.org for more information on the Model for Improvement. Chronic Disease Management indicators, processes and targets parallel those used in B.C. CDM Collaboratives Type of Indicators & Definitions Information o Third available appointment.
