Patient Safety Indicators - Using Clinical Benchmarking and Patient Profiling to Improve Outcomes, Reduce Costs, and Save Lives

Date: June 25, 2008
Time: 12:00pm ET
Hosted by: Health Data Management
Duration: 1 Hour
Sponsor: Thomson Reuters

Join Dr. David Foster and Dr. Michael Udwin for this educational presentation about a data-driven approach to improving the quality of care in hospitals.

AHRQ’s Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs) have put hospital clinical performance in the spotlight. In this one-hour online event, you’ll hear an overview of the PSI system and the clinical and financial impacts that PSI performance improvements can create.

Dr. Foster and Dr. Udwin will also cover the data-driven approach to performance improvement – combining performance benchmarking (based on past performance) with clinical profiling of the active patient census – to drive significant improvements in clinical outcomes. The presentation includes a customer case study highlighting significant improvements in Failure to Rescue and Sepsis Mortality outcomes.

Discussion Topics:

-AHRQ Patient Safety Indicators – the financial and clinical impact of improvement on key performance metrics
-Data-driven quality improvement programs
-Clinical Performance Benchmarking – comparing line of service performance against national benchmarks
-Clinical Profiling – identifying high-risk patients within the hospital census – before they become critical

Speaking Panel:

Dr David Foster, PhD, MPH is Chief Scientist for the Center for Healthcare Improvement at Thomson Reuters
Dr Michael Udwin, MD is a practicing Obstetrician and a Clinical Solutions Consultant for Thomson Reuters
