Three specific pillars are essential for your quality program. Initially, what establishes its foundation? Once determined, how do you keep it harmonized with internal resources and external changes? Lastly, how will you cultivate it and make sure it delivers the needed results?
ESTABLISH: Start with quality data. The data needs to be rich; specifically, it needs to come from many sources and can be properly ingested and cleansed.
MAINTAIN: Ensure upkeep is easy. Be aligned with the latest regulatory changes without additional burden to your staff.
CULTIVATE: Drive optimal results. Make sure you can:
- Reflect on program performance easily and simply
- Identify where more can be done confidently
- Take meaningful action to move the needle quickly
Read on for additional takeaways. One specific to quality leaders and the other specific to society leaders.
FOR HEALTH SYSTEMS
Improve care beyond the registry.
It sounds expensive.
It seems overwhelming.
Yes. It is complex!
It has never been more attainable. Do these three things to unlock registry value.
- Integrate meaningful and high-quality data: successful data acquisition requires the secure and efficient procurement of data from multiple sources powered by integration technologies and expertise that validates and ensures data quality
- Apply robust analytics: build trust in the data and uncover drivers of outcomes and variation with the superpowers of risk adjustment, reliability adjustment, benchmarking, and peer group definition
- Inform to drive results: deliver intuitive, interactive reports and provide flexible tools that crystalize the patterns and inspire meaningful clinical action
