The Story Introduction to BMS Role of leadership Strategic alignment DRVS implementation Building trust in the data Workflow Documentation Quality metric Provider and staff engagement Translating data to patient care Results 2
Baltimore Medical System Established in 1984 in Baltimore, MD 5 Health Centers, 7 School Based Health Clinics ~46,000 patients, ~140,000 visits 55 60 clinical providers, 365 total staff FP, Peds, IM, OB/Gyn, BH Commitment to Quality The Joint Commission accredited since 1987 Strategic plan for 2010 2015: shift from volume focused quality focused culture 3

The Beginning BMS implemented an E.H.R. (Misys) in 2006 Programmer on staff Manual audits electronic reporting by 2009 Each year, UDS report would be a surprise with data we didn t believe Several ideas, processes, grants in place to improve health outcomes but no idea about how we were performing Reactive not proactive around performance Next Step: Quality Program + HIT= Synergy!! 5
A Change is Gonna Come 2011: Switch to new E.H.R. (NextGen) Reporting was a major factor in selection Dashboard, Report writer, Menu reports, Crystal Reports Reporting challenges Inconsistent Upgrades and changes in definitions = lots of work Difficult to capture the information in the charts Unintended consequence of the switch? UDS: Back to manual audits for two years Year 1: Data from two systems was difficult to integrate Year 2: Too many reports to develop and ensure accuracy; UDS tool was generic, regimented and focused on billing codes 6
On the Road Again The switch to NextGen was the first step Significantly more capabilities More structured fields An external reporting system (DRVS) was the second step Data at our fingertips Organization, Center, and Provider level data Allowed us to map our exact workflow (how we document) to the reports Many reports available out of the box (over 65) which were in line with our reporting needs Upgrades and changes to the measure definitions are managed by Azara 7

Alignment of Clinical Metrics 9
Life is a Highway: DRVS Implementation Features Primary implementation team: Health informatics team, two clinicians, performance improvement coordinator Each report tested by at least two team members 20 non compliant and 20 compliant Identified mapping issues, definition issues Iterative process with Azara Ongoing End user testing: clinicians, medical assistants Provider training/ re training How to use DRVS and where to document Support staff training Result Each report was the best that we could get it, and each of us involved had a better understanding of the report 10
A Matter of Trust Building trust in the data People working with the data trusted and understood the reports We recognized an issue as a report failure v. a user error Ex: cervical cancer screening Physicians personally audited >10 key reports and vouched for them Performance improvement coordinator monitors this regularly The process of workflow documentation for each metric is both defined and documented Instructions/ user guide with screen shots provided by Azara Cheat sheets maintained by us If a provider doesn t think their results are correct: Collect specific patient examples Win Win opportunity: Get their buy in and/or improve our report! We walk them through a sample of patients so they understand 11

Sugar, We re Goin Down Hemoglobin A1c pitfalls and opportunities Multiple labs utilized by our system Test names can change or have many permutations impacting mapping. (Ex: Hgba1c. and HgbA1c) Labs on paper (from specialists, non interfaced labs) requires manual entry of lab results This also occurs with paper lab requisitions instead of CPOE Lab tracking and registries helps with building trust in the data 13

Unwritten: Linking Documentation & Data Data mapping allows us to link our workflow as providers (what makes sense) to something concrete Multiple possible locations to document As few extra clicks as possible If you didn t document it, you didn t do it Get credit for the work that you do Standardization of documentation allows for accurate data capture and more representative quality metrics 15

Keeps Gettin Better: Process Improvement PDSA is our primary process improvement method Used in our organization for PCMH/ NCQA, quality improvement, any reportable outcome Focused on tests of small incremental changes Need data to determine how we did and next steps DRVS allows providers, managers, nurses, etc. to access the data for a single provider, group of providers or all providers For the specific time period they are measuring Registries and report details can help to provide the information to develop the next test of change Identify gaps and opportunities 22

Team: Data Makes PCMH Possible Pre Visit Planning report Provided by administrative assistants Utilized by medical assistants Reviewed by providers and staff in huddles This information is key to identifying opportunities to improve care and workflow with minimal added work Registries Supports ownership for a panel of patients and their health outcomes Outcomes or opportunities can be identified outside of the context of a visit Better application of standing orders and outreach to meet outcomes 25
