Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for building a score plan for a healthcare organization, its providers, its payers, and/or its patients and presenting the results of the score plan on one or more score card user interfaces. Score cards graphically display an entity's progress towards meeting quality measure objectives. The score cards provide information on percentage completion of one or more quality measure objectives by the entity and/or quality measure objectives that may be difficult for the entity to achieve.
Claims20
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method of determining an opportunity index for a quality measure having a target parameter, the instructions comprising:
- extract an objective-specific program template that has been automatically generated by a network management service;
- customize the objective-specific program template into a customized program template, the customizing comprising taking into account organizational data associated with a particular healthcare organization corresponding to a provider, the customized objective-specific program template being executable to identify the target parameter of the quality measure for the provider;
- automatically determine, via a processor, a ratio of a number of patients in a scoring group for the quality measure that have not met the target parameter of the quality measure to a number of patients in the scoring group that do not have documented results relating to the quality measure;
- and
- automatically generate the opportunity index to identify the quality measure that offers the provider an opportunity to improve a performance incentive score of the provider for the quality measure, wherein the opportunity index is generated based on a weight of the quality measure, a determined number of patients that have not met the target parameter of the quality measure, a generated measure of effectiveness, and the determined ratio.
A method for ranking an opportunity index to achieve a target parameter for a quality measure, the method for ranking comprising:
- automatically generating the opportunity index for a plurality of quality measures, the opportunity index identifying a quality measure of the plurality of quality measures that offers a provider an opportunity to improve a performance incentive score of the provider, wherein the opportunity index is generated based on a weight of the quality measure, a determined number of patients that have not met a target parameter of the quality measure, a generated measure of effectiveness, and a determined ratio corresponding to a number of patients in a scoring group for the quality measure that have not met the target parameter of the quality measure to a number of patients in the scoring group that do not have documented results relating to the quality measure;
- generating a graph illustrating a relationship between the opportunity index and opportunity index ranks for the plurality of quality measures;
- and
- in response to an action performed corresponding to the quality measure, updating the graph in real-time.
A computer system useful for creating case report forms, the system comprising:
- a non-transitory memory device for storing computer readable program code;
- and
- a processor in communication with the memory device, the processor being operative with the computer readable program code to:
- extract an objective-specific program template that has been automatically generated by a network management service;
- customize the objective-specific program template into a customized program template, the customizing comprising taking into account organizational data associated with a particular healthcare organization corresponding to a provider, the customized objective-specific program template being executable to identify a target parameter of a quality measure for the provider;
- automatically determine, via the processor, a ratio of a number of patients in a scoring group for the quality measure that have not met the target parameter of the quality measure to a number of patients in the scoring group that do not have documented results relating to the quality measure;
- and
- automatically generate an opportunity index to identify the quality measure that offers the provider an opportunity to improve a performance incentive score of the provider for the quality measure, wherein the opportunity index is generated based on a generated measure of effectiveness, a determined number of patients that have not met the target parameter of the quality measure, and the determined ratio.
