The Importance of Public Reporting on Quality
Nancy Foster
Vice President
“Bottom Line It for Me”
Public Reporting Drives Improvement If It Is:
• Scientifically sound
• Actionable
• Fair
• Important
Actions From Data
• Boards examine– Link leaders compensation to performance
• Leadership team – Examines data routinely
– Share with clinical staff
– Lead efforts to improve
• Collaboratives bring together providers trying to address challenges
Scientifically Sound
• Measure looks at: – Reasonably expected outcomes
– Processes shown to be directly linked to better outcomes
• Reliable data collection
• Relevant numerators and denominators
Soundness Example
Vascular Catheter Associated Infections
• Outcome measure, evidence of preventability
• Data collection good for NHSN, less than sound for HAC
• HAC Rate– Numerator = patients with vascular catheter associated infections– Denominator = Medicare patients– Highest = Villa Veliciana (1 of 33 patients)– Among highest, academic medical centers
Actionable
• Proven strategies exist that will enable change in performance
• Change is within the influence of the organization
• Regulations don’t stand in the way
Fairness in Measurement
• Adjust for differences in patients as they present to the hospital– Risk adjustment
– Exclusions
• Adjust for other factors?– Patient preference
– Genetic information???
How might this change as we move to measures across the continuum of care?
Fairness Example
• 30 day readmissions
• Those with high rates include:– Safety net hospitals
– Disproportionate number with low mortality rates
Important
• Significant opportunity to improve outcomes for patients
