About Kaiser Permanente San
Diego
Kaiser Permanente began serving San Diego in 1967
and currently provides care for nearly 500,000 members.
Medical care is provided at 20 outpatient medical
offices and at the Kaiser Foundation Hospital San Diego.
The hospital averages over 2,700 hospital discharges a
month. The outpatient medical offices average over
115,000 physician outpatient visits a month.
Kaiser Permanente utilizes an electronic medical
record system which integrates inpatient and ambulatory
care received by members.
The Quality
Management Department purchased the Statit Physician
Profile & Review (PPR) solution to address The Joint
Commission requirement for ongoing physician practice
evaluation. We quickly realized that Statit would also
allow us to capture key performance measures to assist
physician leaders in making decisions about department
management priorities based on physician performance
trends, visits, procedure details, patient satisfaction
scores and quality data. With Statit, we were able to
easily integrate local data, data files from corporate
offices (HEDIS performance) and vendor data
files.

| In Search of the Holy
Grail...Keeping up with OPPE |
Used to be finding a reliable, automated and affordable
physician profiling solution was like embarking on a
quest to find the Holy Grail...in fact, finding the
Grail had higher odds!! Not any longer.
Midas+ Statit has changed all of that. For
an example, refer
to an article written by the staff at Kaiser
Permanente San Diego. But first, let's learn more
about physician profiles and some of the inherent challenges
they create.
The application of
web-based information technology and data analysis tools
to the on-going professional practice evaluation (OPPE)
mandate from The Joint Commission enhances the
capability and capacity of leading healthcare
organizations to look at the data on performance for all
practitioners with privileges on an ongoing basis,
which allows them to take steps to improve
performance on a more timely basis. Data used
"correctly" helps improve the output of the resources we
have available.

| Automating the Creation of
PowerPoint Presentations for Management |
Statit Performance Indicator & Management
Dashboard (piMD) lets you automate your
monthly/quarterly reports by allowing you to publish
output to MS Office applications. By using capabilities
built into MS Word and PowerPoint, you can save yourself
the time and effort required to hand insert each of your
indicator graphs into the Office Document
each reporting period. The key here is
to build up your report framework and then
link in your indicator graphs, rather
than embed them into your
document.
Statit piMD can also provide instant drill down and
details for any of the indicators being presented. If
someone attending the presentation asks a question like,
"Why was last quarter so bad?" the presenter can just
click on the image in PowerPoint and view the detailed
indicator display within Statit piMD. By doing so, the
presenter now has access to the full interactive
capabilities of Statit piMD and can click on a
particular period to show which facilities or units were
dragging the overall indicator down. They can also see
the detailed data, see comments and action plans entered
by the process expert, and view comparison analyses to
identify which facility, unit or physician is performing
differently from the rest.

| How do I Measure the Percentage of
Yes Answers without Re-writing my Whole
Spreadsheet? |
|
You've probably seen the data. You get
a spreadsheet that has survey data with a row for each
survey returned and a column for each question on
the survey. The answers to some of the questions are in
the form of "Excellent", "Good", "Fair"
and "Poor" while others are "Yes", "No" or "Not
Applicable". And to make things even more complicated,
in each column there could be a number of blank
spaces...How can I produce a chart from these data?
