Data Management remains at the core of successful health facilities.
Identifying key patient quality indicators through a CARF accreditation process assures that performance data will be collected and systematically monitored for quality assurance.
Data variables, or measures should include those aimed at effectiveness, efficiency, and easy patient access to services. In selecting indicators, team members should ask themselves, “what do we believe are the most important data variables in the provision of quality services”?
Data Management Questions:
- Are Patient Census goals being met?
- What are the number of clients completing all phases of their treatment program
- What are the numbers of clients dropping out of treatment?
- Are the demographic Variables being gathered?
- What is the average length of stay in the program being documented and the data in other programs
- What is the average length of stay of people dropping out of programming
Healthcare facilities should be aware that third-party payors are utilizing the hospitals performance data to determine preferred providers.
