PA SPREAD Review of Aim Statements Connie Sixta, DSN, RN, MBA Robert A. Gabbay, MD, PhD
The Fundamental Questions for Improvement • What are we trying to accomplish? • How will we know that a change is an improvement? • What changes can we make that will result in an improvement?
What are we trying to accomplish?Office Aim Statement Characteristics • States that we are going to change (redesign) the practice. • Describes the populationfor improvement in terms of site, provider, and disease. • Describes the changes we are going to use to improve care for the population (Chronic Care Model, Patient Centered Medical Home). • Describes the important outcomeswe want to improve for the population that define success (compare DM guidelines with baseline data and target those with largest gap).
A A A P P P S S S D D D Aim defines population you working with Pilot Population (Diabetes) Small-scale tests of change The Total Population of DM Patients in the Practice (spread providers and sites)
What are we trying to accomplish?Office Aim Example • Aim:The practice will be transformed (redesigned, changed) into a Patient-Centered Medical Home for all patients within the practice. • The practice will provide chronic illness care, preventive care, and risk management using patient-centered approaches and continuous team-based healing relationships. • Practice transformation will occur through implementation of the Chronic Care Model so that 70% of patients with diabetes will have an A1c <8.0% and 80% will have a BP < 140/90. In addition 75% of patients will have self-management goals.
