Success Factors & Lessons Learned • Keys to success • Medical Staff Involvement – one on one meetings with Chairman of each department to explain the process and the indicators for each department • Letting the Departments decide on their own indicators and what the targets should be • Barriers to success • Communication gap about clinical indicators and acceptable targets • Collection of all data elements – not one source for all indicators • Lessons learned • Getting the right physicians on the committee • Reporting formats and how best to explain what the committee is collecting and what it means
Next Steps • Development of a database to house all of the aggregate data and information • Incorporating all of the chosen indicators into the collection and reporting steps of the process
