8. Using Data Driven Trends in Outcomes to Improve Cardiovascular Patient Care

Pdf Summary

This document discusses the use of data-driven trends in outcomes to improve cardiology patient care. The project aims to engage cardiology medical and nursing directors in championing change and improving patient outcomes. The methodology involves developing a historical scorecard using the CathPCI executive summary metrics and updating it weekly with newly aggregated data. The scorecard serves as a benchmark to identify opportunities for quality improvement and prioritize projects. The results have been positive, with facilities finding the scorecard method effective in providing critical patient outcomes to leadership. Engaging change champions can lead to significant improvements in performance. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of providing a concise, data-driven scorecard to assist facilities in achieving better outcomes and implementing changes in patient care.<br /><br />The document also includes a case study of a hospital, where the use of a scorecard helped improve Phase II Cardiac Rehab Referrals. Initially, there were objections to devoting staff for referrals, but after discussing guidelines and evidence supporting the benefits of Phase II CR, the hospital made appropriate changes. The case study demonstrates the impact of using data and evidence to drive change and improve patient care.<br /><br />In summary, using data-driven trends in outcomes can help improve cardiology patient care. Developing scorecards, engaging change champions, and prioritizing quality improvement projects can lead to better overall outcomes and improved patient satisfaction. The case study highlights the benefits of using a scorecard method in improving Phase II Cardiac Rehab Referrals.
