3 Program Data Part 1 The program must utilize quality indicator data, including patient care, and other relevant data, in the design of its program. 4 Program Data - Part 1 What We Need To Know The hospice s QAPI program must be data-driven. Quality indicator data and other data must be included in the QAPI program. Data specifically related to patient care is most essential to the QAPI program. 5 Program Data - Part 1 What We Need To Do Determine what data is relevant and needed Design a QAPI program that includes data collection 6 2
4 QA DATA QAPI Guy Program Data Part 2 The hospice must use the data collected to: Monitor the effectiveness and safety of services and quality of care; and Identify opportunities for improvement. The frequency and detail of the data collection must be specified by the hospice's governing body. 7 Program Data - Part 2 What We Need To Know A hospice will be expected to USE the data it collects. The data must be used for surveillance purposes and to drive decisions related to performance improvement opportunities. The governing body must evidence involvement in the QAPI program. 8 Program Data - Part 2 What We Need To Do Set up systems and processes for regular monitoring and actionable reporting and making performance improvement decisions. Use the data to make decisions. Ensure that governing body minutes indicate their involvement in data collection decisions. 9 3
5 Learning how to: Objectives Identify useful data elements Learn how to turn data elements into quality indicators Determine what quality information is most valuable for your organization 10 Themes Patient Care CoPs QAPI, Comprehensive Assessment and IDT care planning Using DATA to guide decisions and actions and to Assessment must capture data elements for outcome measures Care plans must record expected and actual outcomes Combined data for all patients drive performance improvement Capturing DATA ELEMENTS Documented in a systematic and retrievable way Used for individual patients and in the aggregate 11 What s it all about? Collecting data elements, monitoring indicators of quality and using this information to assess and improve performance, quality and outcomes 12 4
6 Not just Hospice by the numbers Quality assessment (QA) requires quantitative information Numbers OR Uniform variables (e.g. Yes/No; increased/decreased) that you can count Good patient care and PI require qualitative information Narrative data usually non-uniform Provides detail behind quantitative information Some qualitative data can be captured quantitatively 13 Equally Important Work Together Quantitative Data Qualitative Data 14 QAPI vs. Current Quality Program NOT necessarily more data collection More UNIFORM and RETREIVABLE data More USING data: care planning, quality assessment performance improvement 15 5
7 Data versus Quality Measures You have the data elements in all these places (and more) Patient charts Incident reports Infection reports After hours call logs Satisfaction surveys Complaint logs Billing Records HR files Financial Reports Volunteer Records How do you use them to comprise specific quality indicators to be tracked over time? 16 What is a Data Element? The basic unit of identifiable and definable information it occupies the space provided by fields in a record or blocks on a form and has a name and clear values to express a fact. 17 Common Hospice Data Elements Admit date, discharge date Demographic variables Diagnosis code Symptom severity scores Medication name, dose, timing Incident/occurrence type Infection start date/resolution date Patient or family rating/response to a question about care and services Referral source Visit date, time, discipline Billing or other income Cost of medications Names of attendees at a training session 18 6
8 What is an indicator? A measured value used to monitor the operation or condition of a physical system (including a person) or an organizational system; a gauge of performance or outcome. 19 Quality Indicators An indicator that helps to monitor results within a domain of quality; a gauge of performance or outcome in a quality domain. Indicator of symptom management performance: Percentage of patients who are uncomfortable on admission because of pain who report being more comfortable after 48 hr Indicator of family satisfaction: Percentage of families completing survey who are willing to recommend hospice care 20 Data elements Indicators Data Elements # of discharged patients Admit and discharge date for each # patients admitted Patient reported comfort on admission and 48 hr later # families answering item of survey # families willing to recommend Employment start and end dates # of funded/active staff positions Measures/Indicators % patients with short LOS % patients uncomfortable on admission who are comfortable within 48 hr % families who would recommend hospice Turnover and/or vacancy rates 21 7
9 Data Types and Sources Handout: Performance Measurement Data Types and Sources 22 Getting to your data elements Are they easily retrievable? Information systems reporting functions Tracking processes Chart audits Revise assessment and/or care planning documents Gather data elements during team meeting Example: NHPCO Core Patient Data Sheet for End-Result Outcome Measures 23 Calculating Indicator Values Information system Excel or another spreadsheet program Written protocol/ formula 24 8
10 A good indicator is. Meaningful address quality in areas that matter to patient, families, staff, or other stakeholders Measurable the data can be easily and accurately collected Manageable the hospice has some control over the factors affecting the indicator 25 Handout: Common indicators/measures ADC; ADC per FTE ALOS, MLOS by diagnosis Referral to admission % conversion % referral sources who get just the right amount of communication % patients with LOS < 7 days Number (%) live discharges due to dissatisfaction Incidence of medical errors and/or falls % patients admitted with severe pain % with pain made comfortable within 48 hr % of charts documenting family education % patients for whom interventions on the plan of care occurred Outcomes of interventions for individual patients Most successful intervention(s) for dyspnea Family ratings of evening/weekend care Costs per patient day by category Employee turnover/ vacancies by discipline 26 Identifying & Selecting Measures Four guiding principles Cover multiple domains or areas of focus Address both patient-level and hospice-level quality Meaningful, quality-based measures Nationally accepted, tested measures 27 9
11 Multiple Areas of Focus NHPCO s 10 Components of Quality Patient and Family Centered Care Ethical Behavior and Consumer Rights Clinical Excellence and Safety Inclusion and Access Organizational Excellence and Accountability Workforce Excellence Standards Compliance with Laws and Regulations Stewardship and Accountability Performance Measurement 28 Selecting measures: Address Patient-level and Hospice-level Patient-level Collect data on individual patients Use data to improve individual care and outcomes Hospice-level Clinical operations Non-clinical operations 29 Selecting measures: Choose meaningful, quality-based measures High risk, high volume, problem-prone Safety Survey deficiencies and/or ADRs Areas of concern (What keeps managers up at night?) Staff suggestions/frustrations Reflect quality of care and/or drive quality outcomes Evidence-based (your evidence or published literature) Example conducting symptom assessment 30 10
12 Selecting Measures: Nationally accepted, tested measures NHPCO National Data Set Family Evaluation of Hospice Care (FEHC) End-result outcome measures (EROM) OASIS selected items Measures utilized by individual hospices and/or vendors (OCS, Deyta, Multiview) NQF endorsed measures for other settings of care CMS/QIO s watch for new measure options 31 Patient and Family-centered Care How often did the hospice team keep you or other family members informed about the patient s condition? % Always (FEHC) How confident were you that you knew what to expect while the patient was dying? % Very confident (FEHC) % of discharged patients who had a stated preference to avoid hospitalization, for whom no hospital admission occurred (EROM) 32 Clinical Excellence and Safety % of patients with pain levels verbalized as uncomfortable on admission, who report a comfortable level was reached within 48 hours (2 days) following admission (EROM) How much help in dealing with his/her breathing did the patient receive while under the care of hospice? % Right amount (FEHC) Incidence (# per 100 patient days) of unscheduled (on-call) visits for symptom management 33 11
13 Inclusion and Access Percentage of referrals that result in admission (NDS) Average length of stay for patients grouped by diagnosis (NDS) Racial mix of admissions as compared to mix in the community served (% admits by race) Percentage of admissions by referral sources, including: Community physicians Hospital discharge planners Nursing home physician or DON Other relevant sources for your community 34 Sample set of indicators for today and tomorrow Review Handout This is just one possible set of measures Developed for this workshop Other measures you are using? 35 Thank you

15 Performance Measurement Data Types and Sources NHPCO Quality Partners defines ten components of quality, which together encompass the facets of performance that organizations must measure and manage. Defined measures are required for performance assessment, and the first step to defining measures is identifying the data elements from which measures can be created. For each component of quality, the following list identifies valuable types of data and where they can be accessed within hospices. This list includes sources of data for completing the NHPCO National Data Set and other common measures, as well as for tracking success of individual performance improvement projects and unique organizational goals. It is not exhaustive! There is even more available to you.
