CHC – Key Statistics
3
Has a Dashboard which is limited to MU quality measures.
Clinical focused.
Limited view, no drill-down capability.
Doesn’t address all of IOM aims
Current Dashboard Capabilities
4
Disparate and disjointed data silos across hospital departments.
Need for 360-degree snapshot of the hospital performance for the
management strategic decisions.
Delay in performance reports due to delay due to integration issues.
Planning and Tracking for improved productivity and efficiency
Visibility and Forecasts to prevent revenue leakage and improve the
revenue cycle
Benefits across the value chain for improved patient satisfaction, better
profit margins and higher return on investments.
P4P program bonuses - ACO and Value-based purchasing
Employee empowerment
Reasons for the Comprehensive Dashboard
5
Value added to the current EHR system
Supports many users – Executives, Clinicians, Supporting staff
Role-based access & display
Drill-down capability - High-level summary view to Detailed view
Information Filtering
Intuitive user-interface
Capability to view by IOM aims
Proposed Dashboard Features
6
Assess IOM aims with respect to clinical quality, patient
experience and outcomes
While all financial and risk management elements are important,
key on facilities/equipment/IT and employee costs as they
represent the majority of operating costs
Be the brand in the market that is patient-centered and “bed-
ready” while preparing for a value-based purchasing
environment
All dashboard elements tie back to the overall execution of
mission
COO - Dashboard Element Focus
7
Allow for assessment of information beyond EMR dashboard
Monitor tangible best practices elements to include Lean, Six
Sigma (if applicable,) stated project management goals and input
from the Chief Medical Quality and Information Technology
Officers, as well as financial and risk departments
Coordination/Continuity of Care: IOM measures monitored and
achieved throughout the patient experience
Compare leading indicators and outcomes data to percentile
rankings relative to peers, quality and patient satisfaction –
HCAHPS Survey
Make decisions based on relational databases that include
interactive data extracted from real-time sources
Empower COO to transition from a tactical role of managing day-
to-day to a more strategic thinker with a strategic vision
COO - Operational perspective of dashboard

Some measures that may be considered are:
Payer mix trend changes segregated by payer
Bed turnover and availability data
Charge capture efficiency/accuracy
FTEs to adjusted occupied beds over rolling periods
Procedure cost comparisons versus other local hospitals,
full-service
Outpatient facilities and specialists
In-patient vs. out patient revenue volume

The executive team can quickly assess performance and track
progress for mission-critical benchmarks.
Clinical staff (care management team, physicians and nurses)
can monitor clinical performance in real-time.
Quality directors can turn to one source to isolate and monitor
all quality initiatives, respond to AHRQ PSI opportunities.
A consistent source of critical, empirical, and evidence-based
insight that connects the quality of care to patient safety and
satisfaction.
Resources – effective resource utilization, utilization rates
Capital management – assets maintenance and replacement,
age, type and cost of assets in use and those requiring upgrade
Risk management – legal or ethical issues, % of staff engaged
in continuing education efforts
CMO – Clinical Perspective

IOM aims - focus on critical measures to meet organization’s mission and quality goals set in tandem with the IOM aims
Prioritize focus area - comparison of organization against self and among peers.
Measures the organization’s progress toward its targets, consider raw accounts of critical incidents and frequency of use of assets and resources.
Drill-down and roll up capabilities
Snapshot of the clinical performance at hospital level or at unit level.

Human Resources: 1 project manager
1 database architect
2 database resources including DBAs and Database engineers
2 ETL programmers
2 BI/dashboard developers
2 Validation and Verification resources
1 Technical writer for all necessary documentation
Hardware & Software Resources: Servers, Database Management System and Business Intelligence Tool
Financial Resources: Total project costs are estimated at $700,000 for development and
implementation & training
Recurring annual costs will be approximately $200,000
Resource Required

Conclusion
Initial resource is about 6% and recurring annual cost is about 1.7% of the annual IT budget of $12M.
Return on the investment (ROI) can be realized within 2 years.
Stay ahead of the completion through VBP payouts, improved operational efficiency and improved patient satisfaction.
The current silo analytic solution cannot answer questions that span across various functions.
