5. Using Data to Identify Next Steps • These presentations have demonstrated how the NQC Disparity Calculator can be used to calculate disparities in your service populations • Background is provided around how and why the calculator has beendesigned in this way

6. Intersecting Probability and Impact • We have limited time and resources and need to be focused in our activities • Which group in our assessment had the greatest number of SIGNIFICANT results across probability methods? • Which group in our assessment had the greatest number of lives that an be improved? • Often times the most probable and the highest impact groups are not going to be the same. A decision is made whether the impact or the probability is more important. • Using the graphic to the right, focus your energywhere there is the deepest red. Avoid spendingyour energy where there is white in the graphicto the right FOCUS AVOID

7. Reminder - This Calculator Does it ALL For You!

8. QI Project Selection • For all intents and purposes, your QI Project for disparities is the population you select by finding the intersection of probability and impact • QI staff maintains the energy for QI Projects and leads conversation at staff and other team meetings to identify appropriate strategies that play into the QI Project • QI teams at clinics and at lead agencies implement the specific strategies and discuss progress and staff and other teammeetings, raise concerns through the QIstaff, and request training on CQM and QI principles, and specific strategyimplementation

9. Next Steps After Population Selection • Write an aim statement to charter your commitment to reduce disparities for your selected population • Continue to track progress over time using this calculator to ensure that disparities are closing • Share your progress in working with your selected population on www.nqcsharelab.org to spread your work!
