Building a Culture of Quality and Safety at UK Healthcare A Healthcare Provider’s Guide to the Nuts and Bolts of the Efforts Underway at UK Healthcare to Improve the Quality and Safety of the Care the We Provide to Our Patients
The Bottom Line for Measuring Quality and Safety • There are many ways to measure Quality and Safety • There is significant overlap in the measures developed by different organizations and agencies • CMS measures are especially important because: • They provide a distillation of key metrics from several sources into a manageable and actionable list • CMS metrics are tied to reimbursement • Private insurers are following the CMS lead in tying quality and safety to reimbursement • 30% of UK HealthCare discharges are CMS patients • Performance on many CMS metrics are publicly reported
Q: How Does UK HealthCare Compare Its Quality and Safety Performance to Other Academic Medical Centers?A: University HealthSystems Consortium (UHC)
UHC: University HealthSystem Consortium • Based in Oak Brook, Illinois, formed in 1984 • Alliance of 107 academic medical centers and 246 of their affiliated hospitals • Represents approximately 90% of the nation's non-profit academic medical centers • Offers an array of performance improvement products and services to its members • Maintains powerful databases that provide comparative data in clinical, operational, faculty practice management, financial, patient safety, and supply chain areas

Goals for Our Executive Leadership Team From Jeff Norton, Co-Director, Office of Enterprise Quality and Safety, Team 1 Executive Sponsor: “We hope that by the end of your project you will”: • Have learned a great deal about quality and safety measurement, and will be able to educate us • Have looked at what UK does to measure quality and safety as well as what is happening on a national level • Be able to make some recommendations of what we should do relative to measuring quality and safety now, and for the next 3 years (i.e. a progressive plan) • Develop a paper that is publication-ready
Our Team’s Next Steps? • Divide and Conquer to research more about Quality and Safety measurement: • At UK HealthCare • Nationally (UHC Top 10 Performers) • Develop potential questions for further study • Develop Recommendations for UK HealthCare quality and safety measurement: • Presently • 3-Year progressive strategic plan • Develop our team’s A3T Sheet (due March 15, 2011) • Meet with Dr. Boulanger and Jeff Norton to discuss
