Value-Based Healthcare Reporting, Analytics, & Survey Operations

Measuring outcomes linked to safety, effectiveness and quality of life

You can’t improve what you don’t measure. Quality improvement requires measurement and reporting of condition-specific indicators, patient safety measures (mortality analysis, healthcare-acquired infections, patient safety indicators, falls, etc.), patient experience metrics, readmission reports and service line-specific reports with national and local benchmarks. This is an essential element in the journey to deliver value-based healthcare to our patients.

Also, essential to value-based healthcare is the ongoing measurement of outcomes linked to safety, effectiveness and quality of life.

The Value-Based Healthcare Reporting and Analytics groups offers the following services:

  • Data management, analysis and reporting
  • Implementation and reporting of performance measurement indicators
  • Integration of data from multiple sources
  • Survey design and administration
  • Expertise and support for fulfillment of quality regulatory reporting initiatives
