Regional Information for Shared Excellence (RISE) Initiative Dashboard Overview Webinar Jerry Lassa, MS Statistics May 15 & May 17, 2012
Do You Ever Spend a lot of time reviewing data trying to make sense out of it? Wonder how you did last month, last quarter or last year as a reference point? Wonder how well you re doing compared to your colleagues, competitors, the state or the country? See a change in data from one month to the next and wonder whether you should take action or not? Make a decision based on gut instinct or prior experience because you don t have data to support the decision? See a relationship between clinical care and operational functioning of your clinic but can t quantify it? Feel knowledgeable about performance data in your organization but others don t? Wonder whether the priorities you have set should really be priorities?

Is Your Organization Ready for the Tsunami of Data?
Background RISE Initiative Over the past decade, clinics have worked to enhance quality improvement efforts, transform culture, information systems, and care delivery Significant work in tracking and reporting key performance measures to assess the quality of patient care Several statewide projects have supported this work AQICC, Tools for Quality, other regional efforts Results: definition of standardized clinical and operational measures, enhancement of quality improvement processes and implementation of HIT, including registries, to collect and report on quality data RISE Initiative: Runs October 2011 to December 2012 Continued data collection, reporting and use work with a focus on Data Sharing Communities and accelerating improvement of clinical and operational performance by supporting data-driven management Added emphasis on enhancing the patient experience
Project Description Data Sharing Communities (DSCs): RISE Initiative Super Region North Data Sharing Communities North Coast Clinic Network (Super Region Lead) Alliance for Rural Community Health Health Alliance of Northern California Bay Area Redwood Community Health Coalition (Super Region Lead) Community Health Center Network Community Health Partnership San Francisco Community Clinic Consortium Central Valley South Central Valley Health Network (Super Region Lead) DSCs organized by measure Community Clinics Health Network (Super Region Lead) Coalition of Orange County Community Clinics Community Clinic Association of Los Angeles County
Project Description cont. 1. Regional Learning Communities RISE Initiative Data analytics, including data validation, analysis, reporting and sharing data with providers through the use of dashboards Enhancing the patient experience Team approaches to care delivery Patient panel management Staff engagement/culture change Patient self-management support Health coaching Operational changes to increase access 2. Data Analytics The collection, review, and reporting of key metrics across project participants. Quarterly sharing of data and using it to improve patient care with reporting to CHCF every six months Measures sets contain three to six measures with at least one measure in each of the clinical, operational and patient experience measure domains
Project Description cont. 3. Dashboard Use RISE Initiative Each DSC will use a standardized dashboard in various forums to display data, and facilitate discussions A standardized dashboard template is available but each DSC and Super Region has the flexibility to customize the dashboard to suit their needs (e.g., different measure sets, display of blinded and unblinded data, variety of audiences) Need to ensure the dashboard is populated appropriately and accurately, and disseminated to various audiences in an effective and meaningful way 4. Plan for Improved Outcomes Each community or region has committed to improvement on at least one measure in the first year, and at least two measures in the second year of the grant

Purpose: RISE Linked with BSCF CCAP Initiative (Blue Shield California Foundation California Comparative Analytics Project) Support adaptation of i2i's PoplQ software to serve the data collection and analytic needs of community clinics and other safety net providers who use BSCF s self-assessment tool The adapted software will help community clinics and other safety net providers collect, compare, and share data related to clinical quality, financial, operational, and patient experience performance indicators generated by the tool. Finance measure focus: Operating margin or net margin, Days cash on hand, Current ratio, Revenue mix, Average cost of clinic visit, Average cost of clinic visit by payer, Net revenue or loss by payer or Net operating margin by payer, Collections ratio, by payer, Benefits as % of total salary or wages, Claims quality
Importance of Smart Data Display Goo d 51% (Commercial National Best) 44% (Medicaid National Best) 35% (Medicaid National Average) What s the measure? Time period? Which direction is good? Benchmark? Goal? Is performance level a priority? If so, what do we do? Who s responsible? What resources are allocated? Who and how to hold accountable for improvement?
Importance of Balanced Measures Measures from multiple domains (e.g., clinical, operational, financial) tell a much richer story than a single measure and better inform decisions.
All Clinical Measures: So many more measures to manage need to have efficient reporting 1. HTN blood pressure 2. Tobacco use, cessation 3. Weight screening 4. Flu vax for older adult 5.

Baldrige as a Guide for Dashboard Design Provides balanced model for organization performance Used heavily in health sector Since 2005, > 50% of Baldrige award applicants are health care Provides context for data management Measures should align with the industry e.g., NQF or P4P at local, state, national Dashboard measures should align with organization strategy t Dashboard measures should be balanced e.g., g, clinical, operational, financial,,patient experience measures
Best Practices Dashboard Formats Dashboard Reporting Trend/time charts with internal goals and external benchmarks or norms Stoplights (red, yellow, green coloring to indicate measure status) Dashboard Deployment Use to track strategy and annual plan execution Use same dashboard format Horizontal Across sites, divisions, departments/specialties p Use similar measures as relevant (e.g., TNAA applies to all clinical departments) Vertical BOD, senior leadership, management, staff Measures should roll up with selected core strategic measures at ttop
Basic Dashboard Format
Stoplight Dashboard for Individual Provider
Review of Dashboards in Meetings Best Practices Review dashboard results Recognize improvements Scan trends across all measures, look for potential issues Discuss and prioritize opportunities Develop a plan to address; establish goals for improvement Assign responsibility Allocate appropriate resources to achieve goal
Accountability for Results A measurable Strategic and Operating Plan is the main reference point for accountability in outcomes achievement Need alignment of goals between governance, leadership, management, and staff Assign responsibility for specific strategy objectives and goals to appropriate governance and management committees (e.g., clinical quality, finance, IT) Incorporate performance goals and incentives into board, leadership, and staff performance management plans and reviews; incorporate goals into provider contracts
Public Accountability and Transparency The good will earned by accountable and transparent nonprofits is one of, if not the most important, of its assets. --National Council of Non-Profits Health reform, through Accountable Care Organizations, will make accountability and transparency a business imperative for community health centers
Data Validation Basics Understand the measures (you and everyone else) Numerator, denominator, exclusion criteria Historical data requirements for selected measures Sample (paper charts) vs. Population data (EHR) Sample data requirements Ensure representative and random sampling Ensure appropriate sample size for achieving desired margin of error UDS requirements: n=70 Population data requirements Appropriate use of EHR queries and report writers when selecting data follow inclusion/exclusion criteria in measure definitions Ensure data are accurate and reliable Run frequency tables to cross validate patient totals and system use Identify clinical content, screen flow issues to inform EHR optimization roadmap Ensure reliability of interfaces (e.g., lab, pharmacy) Address leadership/management issues (e.g., compliance with using EHR)
Examples of System Use Measures These types of measures help you monitor data validation issues
