A Treasure Map to Opportunities

Araby Thornewill,
Vice President, Clinical and Operational Products
Press Ganey Associates, Inc.
Standardized hospital measurements of cost, length of stay, profitability, quality and patient experience are now a requirement. Inevitably, these measures will show variations across physicians and clinical conditions within the same hospital. Furthermore, if external benchmarks are available, there will be variations apparent in the hospital’s overall performance.
This session will focus on how to use these variations to best identify potential opportunities, and how to do an integrated root cause analysis to determine and quantify the actual opportunities present. Organizational responsibilities, effective physician involvement, and integrated data requirements all play a part in moving from data to improvement.
