A variety of market forces are creating pressure on healthcare providers to publicly share quality and performance data—and these forces are only getting stronger. For U.S. hospitals, there are currently 5 measure sets for inpatient acute care, yet more than 300 measures are being proposed by a variety of healthcare and regulatory agencies. Plus, in the near future, this reporting may be used to evaluate performance and determine payment for healthcare services.
While most agree that public reporting contributes to increases in patient safety and can help improve performance over time, many hospital–based professionals who are charged with collecting and submitting public reporting data will tell you that the process is resource–intensive, and at times, confusing.
To help your organization with these increasing pressures, CareScience has introduced a new solution that not only helps streamline the data submission process, but also helps your organization improve patient care and financial performance.
CareScience Standards of Care, single-source performance reporting and benchmarking tool, will allow you to:
- Manage the influx of existing and new quality measures for public reporting
- Collect, analyze and submit data to organizations like CMS, JCAHO, The Leapfrog Group and IHI
- Preview data prior to public reporting, allowing you to proactively implement improvement plans as well as develop a strategy for addressing areas of concern
- Reduce the resource drain on internal staff by providing a single chart review and point of data entry for all measure sets
- View organization-specific reports to help pinpoint breakdowns in care processes and prioritize quality initiatives
- Benchmark against other hospitals and health systems
- Access real–time quality indicator scorecard reports to advise executive leadership on performance results
