Quality – What is it? • Patient outcomes, did they get well? • Short term? • Long term? • Patient perceptions? • How often we followed evidence based protocols? • Survival rates? • Readmissions rates? • Is it safe, error-free care?
How are they using that quality data? • Publicizing it on the Internet • Paying us for it
Deployment of Rapid Response Teams…at the first sign of patient decline • Delivery of Reliable, Evidence-Based Care for Acute Myocardial Infarction…to prevent deaths from heart attack • Prevention of Adverse Drug Events (ADEs)…by implementing medication reconciliation • Prevention of Central Line Infections…by implementing a series of interdependent, scientifically grounded steps called the “Central Line Bundle” • Prevention of Surgical Site Infections…by reliably delivering the correct perioperative antibiotics at the proper time • Prevention of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia…by implementing a series of interdependent, scientifically grounded steps called the “Ventilator Bundle”

FROM ONE AT A TIME CHART REVIEWS AFTER THE FACT TO: NPR Reports Required Fields Reporting Daily, end of shift BUILDING IN QUALITY & MONITOR IT CONCURRENTLY Changing our thinking . . .
But, • Where should we focus our effort? • Where are we doing the worst? • We could write an NPR for every one of those measures (Core, ORYX, 100K Lives . . . . . . . . . .) • How many people would it take to write an NPR report for every quality measure out there? • Just to determine where to focus . . . And then, • How would we adjust for severity and compare to benchmarks?
