Why scorecard? • Allows a method to communicate and numerically track residency goals and plans. • Assists residencies in monitoring project implementation and impact to the metric. • Creates a system to compare to other hospitals/residency programs • Assists residencies connect to hospital administration. • If you speak hospital talk, helps get resources.
What is a scorecard? Numeric indicators that reflect a process, project, or department/organization First question … what is your business and why do you exist? Evolves to what are we trying to measure and why? What are our goals?

Is ED throughput a quality measure and how does it relate to residency programs?
Hospital OP QRDP-2011+ Measures • Measure #5 ED Throughput • Median time for ED arrival to departure for discharged patients • Measure is under consideration
What is Quality Value = Quality / Cost
Why do residencies exist, what do we want to achieve? • Clinically competent physicians. • Customer service skills, communication skills, listen, connect with patients and patients’ families. • Efficiency.
Scorecard Conclusions • Scorecards allow measurement=Awareness • Scorecards evolve through time • Do you have resources committed to the items on the scorecard? • Challenge: What does the data mean to a department or individual? What is the project that needs to resourced to change the metric? • Prioritization takes agreement and/or leadership • ED’s and ED residencies have an opportunity to determine their own quality metrics
