Our First Collaborative: Global Aim
We aim to reduce harm to patients and conserve system resources by optimizing the use of laboratory tests for patients cared for in our region’s hospitals. We will use a collaborative approach considering the best medical evidence and quality improvement science. It begins with an evaluation of current test ordering profiles and patterns followed by an organized plan to optimize testing and ends with a plan to sustain these practices. By doing this we expect to reduce cost and improve satisfaction and quality of care for patients and the health system. It is important to work on this now because as health care professionals we can play an important role in health care reform by designing more patient-centered, efficient and high value inpatient care.

Data Team Update
1. Update on data received at NORC
2. Identifying COPD patients
3. Update on NORC process and plans for Year 2
How many records have we received (2014)?
Comparison to Hospital Discharge Data
Total # of COPD Cases in OLT NORC 2014 Data
Comparison to Hospital Discharge Data
Update of NORC Process
5 examples of data issues
1. Additional exclusion criteria applied at the individual hospital level
2. Inconsistent variable naming and formatting, between and within institutions
3. Lack of unique identifiers4. Inconsistency with dates (what does date of admission
mean?)5. Duplicate records
NORC Process: Looking ahead to Year 2
1. Move to more of an automated process2. Focus on creating one database – not individual institution
files3. Focus on data quality (good is good enough!)
How can you help? Continue to submit monthly data reports!!!
