Quality program: early discharge from the hospital

Quality program: early discharge from the hospital to improve patient outcome Describe how the Quality program is measured o Discuss a data collection plan including data collection methods such as chart review, etc. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) policies must be followed. o AHRQ defines 3 types of quality measures: § Structural measures – hospital’s capacity, systems, processes (number of physicians, types of technology EMR, physician-to-patient ratios) § Process measures – what is done to maintain or improve health (ie. Length of patient wait time – emergency wait room times) § Outcome measures – impact of healthcare services (like results of care) — o With above in mind, we can discuss the baseline metrics and what will be measured (amount of patients discharged before noon, patient satisfaction/CHAHPS, comparison of patient wait times in the ER, length of stay) o You must use nationally recognized and standardized measures if possible. View the HCQA Health Plan Employer Data and Information Set (HEDIS) Measures tool which lists inpatient and ambulatory performance measures in health care.
