CQN2 Collaborative Aim • The national goal for the practice level is to support changes in asthma care practices and child health outcomes, and to implement successful practice system changes • At the chapter level, the goals include increasing the capacity for quality improvement work, and building key partnerships and funding for continued quality efforts
Our Practice’s Aim Statement Aim Statement: We have joined the CQN2 AAP National Collaborative to …. put the aim statement that you developed for your LSI storyboard
CQN2 Collaborative Practice Level Goals • 90% seen with an CQN encounter form will have optimal care by Sept 2012: Optimal care is defined as a bundle of measures: • 90% with an assessment of asthma control • 90% will use NHLBI stepwise approach • 90% of children w persistent asthma on controller med • 90% with a written asthma action plan
CQN2 Collaborative Practice Level Goals (cont) • % of caregivers with confidence level of 7 or above in ability to manage child’s asthma • % of caregivers who rate child’s asthma as well controlled • % of patients 5+ w/ spirometry obtained within last 2 years • % of patients w/ self management education materials • % of patients with asthma received flu shot during active flu season
Why Our Practice Is Participating… • Learn QI methods to systematically and reliably identify patients with asthma and improve asthma care for these patients • Apply the same methods to other content areas (such as children with diabetes, preventive services) • Meets qualifications for MOC level 4 certification for our physicians
What we will get as part of the CQN2 Collaborative • We will receive /have access to: • Monthly and trend data for all measures • Coaching from QI experts at the chapter & national levels to support practice level change • Latest in articles, tools and resources • Ability to hear what other practices are doing and the ability to ‘steal shamelessly’ on ideas that may work in our practice
Other CQN Pilot Outcomes • The percentage of patients who received an updated written asthma action plan increased from 49% to 91% • Patients in which self-management education materials were provided and explained to the patient and family at the time of visit also increased from 60% to 87% of the time. • Of the 235 physicians in the CQN pilot, 92% completed the requirements of the project to be awarded credit for the ABP’s Maintenance of Certification Part 4.
Encounter Forms Entered in Our Practice for September, 2011 • Place table showing number of encounter forms by provider in your practice
Baseline: Our Practice • Use the pdf ‘snapshot tool’ to cut/paste your baseline data point for % with optimal care plan
Baseline: Our Practice • Use pdf ‘snapshot tool’ to cut/paste your baseline data point for % with asthma care plan
What is our chapter doing to address the payer issues? • Chapter leaders to put in information here
Our areas of focus and testing over next month • Increase the number of encounter forms being used and increase the number of clinicians using the encounter form • Identify our asthma patients before they come in through the development of a registry using billing queries • Continue to conduct PDSA cycles Note: these are recommended areas of focus, however you should tailor these based on what your QI team is doing
