Capella Diabetes Hospitalizations in Minnesota in Last Five to Ten Years Case Study

• INTRODUCTION
  A key part of your proposal will be to identify benchmarks and trends for the topic you have chosen for your documentation review. Benchmarks can come from national or state quality standards or trends. If your proposal is approved, you as the office manager will want to try to answer this question: How does our office data compare to national or state trends?You need to identify your benchmarks before you can collect and then compare the data. You decide what your benchmarks are. They could be based on national averages, state averages, or quality standards. For example, here is one quality standard: All patients with chronic, stable coronary artery disease are on an antiplatelet therapy or have supporting documentation as to why they cannot take an antiplatelet therapy. For instance, they may have an allergy.Another question to consider when establishing benchmarks is this: Are you comparing apples to apples or apples to oranges? In addition, if you are retrieving information from a national database or data from an HIE, how do you know your office data is comparable to the information you are retrieving? Consult your suggested resources for answers to these questions.For this second assessment, you are to:
  • Analyze statistical trends and assess quality measures relevant to your proposal.
  • Assess the compatibility of data drawn from multiple sources.
  • Determine the effects of health information quality on an HIE.

This assessment is completed in three steps:

• Step One – Preparation: Locate data related to quality measures or trends relevant to your topic from specific websites.
• Step Two – Data Collection: Create a data collection tracking spreadsheet and dashboard.
• Step Three – Data Compatibility: Write a short paper on data compatibility and quality.
