Quality Data For Performance Measurement: Strategic Considerations
Healthcare providers face intensifying scrutiny from external sources such as insurance companies, regulatory agencies, lawmakers, and a more well-informed public. As competing on value increases, the pressure to earn top rankings from evaluating agencies will grow and in turn the need for an efficient and effective performance measurement infrastructure.
Performance reporting is becoming an increasing burden on operations as the need to conduct patient chart abstraction increases, but remains inadequate to participate in multiple internal and external measurement programs. This presentation will examine the obstacles hampering efficient generation and delivery of performance measurement data, as well as recommendations for possible solutions.
Learning Objectives:
- Find out what the core issues are in building performance measurement reporting systems.
- Learn what the most successful strategies are right now in integrating quality measurement with value-based purchasing initiatives.
- Find out what the key challenges and opportunities are in building the strategic IT foundations for outcomes measurement and value-based purchasing.
- Hear what lessons are being learned by the Beacon Communities and other collaboratives in working at a meta-enterprise level in these areas.
