  1. Quality Reporting Brandy Rex G30263404 The George Washington University

  2. Quality Reporting • Medical Errors cause 98,000 deaths per year (Pham et al., 2012). • Preventable adverse drug events cost $3.5 billion annually (Pham et al., 2012). • The problem is that the quality of medical care is subpar to that of scientific or technological innovation.

  3. Motivating factors • Increase consumer loyalty. • Increase the number of new patients into the network. • Reduce waste and increase efficiency. • Reduce variation. • Reduce hospital acquired infections such as urinary tract infections, surgical site infections, pneumonia, and infections of the bloodstream (Pham et al., 2012). • Reduce overuse, underuse, and misuse of services (Ransom, Joshi, Nash, & Ransom, 2008; Wynia & Kurlander, 2007).

  4. Organizational Impact • Improved patient outcomes. • Improved patient safety. • Reduced spending on overuse and misuse of services. • Increased services to our customers for services that have been underused. • Increased incentives for meeting and exceeding Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) quality measures (Hany’s Quality Institute, 2007). • Improve hospital’s reputation (Hany’s Quality Institute, 2007).

  5. Departmental Consequences • Improved patient safety. • Improved patient centeredness of care. • Reduction in health care disparities. • Increased legal compliance with regulations. • Improved ethical behavior.

  6. Patient Safety • Improved communication and teamwork. • Improved procedural processes as a result of standardization of care and reduction of variation. • Improved reporting system to learn from “near misses” and adverse medical events.

  7. Patient Centeredness • Reduction in health care disparities as a direct result of increasing patient centeredness. • Improved patient outcomes and compliance with treatment regiments (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), 2011).

  8. Disparities • Quality reporting arms the organization with the knowledge of where disparities exist. • Acute care for illness and injury has risen 77 percent while many other areas of preventative care and chronic disease management remain lacking (AHRQ, 2011). • Programs can be instituted to increase chronic care disease management.

  9. Legal • CMS has been authorized to pay hospitals higher annual incentives when they successfully report designated quality measures (Eills, Harlow, Petersen, Schwarts, & Trostorff, 2011). • CMS is also allowed to terminate hospitals from the Shared Savings Program if they do not report their quality measures (CMS.gov, n.d.). • Value Based Purchasing is the way that CMS pays institutions based on their quality performance (Eills et al., 2011).

  10. Ethical Considerations • Both physicians and nurses have devoted their livelihoods to ethical and quality health care. • Quality reporting is an extension of what these two groups already do on a daily basis.
