Ambulatory/Outpatient Data System Feasibility Study for Washington DOH

administrator — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 20:41:01 GMT

The 1997 Legislature, in Senate Substitute Bill 5445, instructed the Department of Health to conduct a study to determine the feasibility of collecting and reporting data about ambulatory arid outpatient health care encounters in Washington. The vast majority of health care delivery occurs in ambulatory and outpatient settings, and the trend in Washington over the past decade is for an increasing number of services to shift to these settings. Despite the large volume of data generated about the care delivered in ambulatory and outpatient settings, however, there is no central source to access these data, nor are data elements comparable across providers. In addition, the fragmented databases that do exist are proprietary to those who have collected the data and are rarely available for research or other public uses.

Emergency Department Performance Measures and Benchmarking Summit: The Consensus Statement

administrator — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 21:07:04 GMT

Emergency leaders are increasingly faced with challenges that go beyond the scope of traditional clinical medicine and department staffing. A thorough understanding of quality improvement principles and benchmarking is now necessary for Emergency Department (ED) leaders to be successful in providing patient centered care, improving customer satisfaction and evaluating service initiatives. Correctly treating emergent complaints is no longer the only focus, and emergency physicians are now being asked to also provide safe, timely, efficient and cost effective care.

Interactive State ED Systems Map

administrator — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 18:34:43 GMT

This site was developed by the National Association of Health Data Organizations (NAHDO) under a technical assistance task funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP). The purpose of this site is to assist state and private health data agencies plan and improve their Emergency Department systems by providing a catalogue of state ED resources and links. Health data agencies that are seeking to implement or expand their ED reporting systems will benefit from the technical and analytic reports developed by their peers.
