• Coordination of Data Analyses across Depts
• Healthcare Data Management Expertise
• Data & Analysis “Quality Assurance”
What is the Balanced Scorecard?
• A performance measurement & management framework to define, align and communicate strategy effectiveness at all levels of an organization
• Developed by Kaplan & Norton at HBS in 1992 (“The BSC - Measures that Drive Performance”; HBR)
• Using only financial or tangible asset measures to judge performance is not enough….need to consider other factors such as quality, customer satisfaction, employee development, innovation, etc.
• Mirrors thought process behind “The Service-Profit Chain”
• 10 year results reviewed by Kaplan & Norton in 2001 (“The Strategy Focused Organization: How BSC Companies Thrive in the New Business Environment”; HBR)
• Strategy maps incorporate major institutional goals from 4 different, “balanced” perspectives:
– Financial = Financial Health
– Customer/Outside = Patients & Community
– Internal/Business Processes = Quality & Efficiency of Care
– Knowledge & Growth = Employee Development & Clinical Innovation
Strategy Map - Balanced Perspectives
• Concept explored January 2000• Leadership buy-in, agreement to explore June 2000• Software RFP August 2000• Vendor Reviews/Selection Dec 2000• Partnership Contract finalized May 2001• Executive Sponsors, Project Plan finalized June 2001• Strategy Maps and Measures designed July-August 2001• “Start-up” Failure October 2001• SAS 4-Year Partnership finalized January 2002• 9 month project plan:
– Surgery scorecards implemented by Sept/Oct 2002– Nursing scorecards implemented by Nov/Dec 2002– includes knowledge transfer, and development of training strategies

BSC Project Implementation Schedule
• Resources– PMAG - project management and design
– Information Systems - infrastructure and external feeds
– SAS - implementation services and training
– Ongoing support and maintenance with existing staff in PMAG and IS
• Project Organization– Executive sponsorship
– Oversight committee
– Core project team - BWH and SAS
Resources and Project Organization
• Establish an Executive Champion (VP)
• Select and educate a BSC development group
• Develop “strategy map” and strategic goals for dept
• Inventory/brainstorm all potential measures for each goal
• Determine which measures exist or can be captured
• Rationalize list of measures
• Develop detailed measure documentation
• Develop data extracts
• Develop “report” specifications
• Develop BSC reporting hierarchy & security access
• Data warehouse, scorecard, measure, report programming
• Scorecard QA (reconciliation against source systems & reports)
• Roll-out, education, and training
Steps in Implementing a Dept Scorecard
• Extensive RFP process yielded SAS product as market leader
• Certified by BSC Collaborative
• Few healthcare institutions have attempted this….national leadership opportunity as the SAS-AMC reference client
• SAS CEO’s commitment to creating “showcase” BWH program
• Exceptional corporate stability and reputation (largest private software company in the world)
• Exceptional SAS BSC & Healthcare content expertise
• Underlying data warehouse structure easily accommodates automated feeds from existing BWH data sources (TSI, CHASE, Press Ganey, MS Access, MS Excel, etc.)
• Associated SAS analytic tools included for internal PMAG use
• System can be “owned” by BWH after implementation
Why the SAS BSC Software Solution at BWH?
Integrating the Balanced Scorecard Framework into
Strategic Management
• Strategy maps incorporate major institutional goals from 4 different, “balanced” perspectives:
– Financial Health
– Patients & Community
– Quality & Efficiency of Care
– Employee Development & Clinical Innovation
• Measures selected for each goal are meaningful
• “Balance” of tangible and intangible measures
• “Balance” of outcome (lag) & process measures
• Multiple reporting efforts consolidated in a “balanced” way
• Access to and use of critical data is improved
BSC - Level 1 Successful Outcomes(Reporting & Decision Support Tool)
• VP’s, Chiefs, Managers, providers access BSC regularly to help manage their areas of accountability, and/or assess their own performance
• VP’s, Chiefs, etc. use in one-on-one and mgmt meetings with staff to discuss problem areas needing attention
• Linkages between quality/safety, customer, & employee results to overall financial outcomes start to become apparent
• Correlations (+ and -) between measure trends can be seen and acted on (e.g., staffing productivity, errors, satisfaction)
• Adverse measure trends generate requests for more drill-down and analysis to help guide corrective steps
• Convert “data-rich” BWH culture into “focus on information”
BSC - Level 2 Successful Outcomes (Performance Management Tool)
• Board and Executive Leadership adopt BSC framework as part of strategy formulation and hospital-wide communication plan– BSC has the potential to translate equally well to clinical care providers
(MD’s, RN’s, etc), leadership, managers, & board members
• Executive strategy map and measures reviewed at least annually and revised to capture new priorities
• Key Executive goals and measures cascade throughout all lower-level strategy maps and scorecards
• Review of BSC goals and measure performance incorporated into leadership meetings
• Research and education goals/measures incorporated along side strong set of clinical indicators
• Equal accountability mandated for goals in all 4 quadrants
BSC - Level 3 Successful Outcomes (Strategic Leadership & Management Tool)
• Executive sponsorship and buy-in was key to getting project off the ground and funded for 4 years
• VP sponsors for pilot areas were true advocates– each believed in usefulness of scorecards for managing their areas, but
were struggling with paper-based, manual solutions
• All executive leaders look forward to consolidation of existing reports and management data into “one place”
• A data warehouse that can accept key healthcare feeds, with minimal internal programming, is essential
• Limiting # of measures is critical, but difficult
• Supporting reports and level of drill-down is designed to answer first question a user might have about a trend - not to replace source systems/reports or more sophisticated root-cause analyses
• BSC framework has been easy to explain and well-accepted
