The power of information • Is information ready? • Information as a business tool • The impact of inaccurate information • The power of accurate information • The road to success • The challenge
Is information ready? • Has information been ready for • Clinical indicators? • Clinical audit/effectiveness? • Performance monitoring? • Purchaser/provider split? • And now • Market economy?
The information function – is it ready? • Where is it? • Which directorate? • Does everyone know about you and what you do? • Are you out there promoting yourselves? • Why is it invisible in some organisations?
Is ‘business tool’ the latest phrase? • A bit of all things to all men – who wants what • Performance, clinical governance, staffing and finance – who remembers Mrs Korner? • Market economy – where is the work coming from and where is the potential work going to? • Even as priorities change you can’t afford to take your eye off any of the balls – Maidstone!
Is information meeting the business need?Is it ‘fit for purpose’? • Quantity • Quality • Accessibility • Ownership • Responsibility
Consultant/speciality information • Consultant /specialty transfers • Ward transfers • Admissions units • On-call rota and sub specialty
Length of stay information • Rogue dates of admission • Incorrect specialty • Multiple transfers – are they for clinical reasons? • Rehabilitation units
Day case information • Getting onto the waiting list correctly • Day case overstays • Clinical performance • ICD10: K40 – OPCS4.4: K40
Clinical Coding Your organisations future depends on this. • Clinical coding should be painting a picture of patient care • Clinical involvement • Source documentation • Audit and training
What can be done about this? • Consultants will always say the information is rubbish – don’t always assume they are wrong • Basic audit routines • Experts at CHKS who can do: • Process reviews for information/clinical coding • Case note reviews • Comparisons with other organisations • Reports with recommendations
