Heart Failure (HF) Accreditation Conformance Database and Calculated Measures

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In Lesson 2 of the ACC's Heart Failure Version 4 Accreditation ACD and Calculated Measures course, Liza St. Clair provides a demonstration of the Calculated Measures functionalities while using the ACD. The module also highlights the useful resources available to help analyze data. Compliance with Clinical Quality Essential Components requires facilities to review heart failure performance metrics such as admission rate, readmission rate, and mortality rate. These metrics are not collected in the ACD or included in the Calculated Measures function, so supporting documentation from other data sources must be submitted. Calculated Measures are automatically calculated from ACD data and are provided in a monthly report with a drill-down feature. Detailed information on the measures is accessible within the Calculated Measures function. The Measure Year to Date Report is referenced during accreditation to validate data entry and make any necessary changes. The workshop concludes with a reminder of the importance of utilizing data to drive improvement initiatives in delivering excellent patient care.
