Ongoing professional practice evaluation implementation within STATIT.

Abstract

283 Background: The OPPE allows the organization to identify professional practice trends that impact quality of care and patient safety. The intent of the standard is that organizations are looking at data on performance for all practitioners with privileges on an ongoing basis, to allow them to take steps to improve performance on a more timely basis. Methods: Infrastructure development. We assigned people for data integration, technical support and metric development. The manager of Clinical Decision Support serve as the administrative coordinator to the program managed the progress of implementation. Leadership Support. To implement the STATIT for OPPE in any hospital, executive leadership support is required to secure funding and resources for the program as well as to support the quality improvement initiatives undertaken that will affect current policies and a wide range of personnel. The early support for the OPPE STATIT came from hospital’s administrative leadership and Performance Improvement leadership. Committed OPPE STATIT implementation team. The basic OPPE STATIT team, consisting of a Manager of Clinical Decision Support, two IT people, and ten Informatics Analysts, requires additional personnel such as departmental Quality Officer with differing expertise for indicator development. Results: All of medical knowledge, patient care activity, and system based indicators plus departmental specific cancer care indicators can be reviewed and any outliers can be drilled down for analysis by division head, department chair and quality officer and signed off on a six-month basis. All individual providers also are able to review his/her performance quality and peers’ comparison. Conclusions: The MIDAS + Statit Physican Profile & Review (PPR) solution is a Web-based system that allows medical providers easy access performance dashboards, which contain up-to-the-moment performance data, annual and interim reviews and drill down to patient level data. The information is necessary to align medical staff with key strategic objectives across the organization. It provides the statistical analysis of patient care quality and safety and opportunities of improvement.
