Data Issues • 1. Delayed coding – 9 months behind! • 2. Lack of FTE/Clinical resource to interpret data and provide reports in a • timely manner. • Competition of priority – urgent, mandatory vs important • Quality of data • Sources of data – ailing TOPAS system, CAPLAN, other packages conflict (ie. Several reports on same patient group do not agree)

Issues and Observations about process to date Issues/Observations Late start Good acceptance by N/staff on wards Executive focus on long stay but compromised by lack of resources Not recognised as a problem – however, met with defensiveness in relation to established programs/processes
Provisional Top 10 Diagnoses • 1. Lack of coded data • 2. Failure to see it as a problem • 3. Late start – rushed introduction • 4. Resource issues • 5. Communication • 6. Focus on volume/short stay • Current focus on 4hr rule – not linking this, seeing it as competition in resources
