Transforming Radiation Oncology Operational Efficiency with Elekta Healthcare Analytics Beverly Riley, MBA, CMD Administrative Director, Medical Dosimetry, MD Anderson Cancer Center
Elekta Healthcare Analytics Disclosure: Worked in collaboration with Elekta to develop electronic (EKM) Elekta Knowledge Management Dashboards
Elekta Knowledge Management Elekta Software Cancer Registry Healthcare Analytics Intra institutional Benchmarking Operational Clinical Financial Strategic & Research Registries Data Procurement Knowledge Management Treatment Management The Elekta Software hierarchy : Care Management, Treatment Management, and Knowledge Management. Knowledge Management covers four areas: Elekta Healthcare Analytics, Data Sales, METRIQ Registry and Strategic Registries.. From the perspective of the oncology data value chain, data sales represents a downstream activity and Elekta Healthcare Analytics an upstream one. Healthcare Analytics is on track to deliver Intra-institutional Benchmarking of Operational, Clinical and Financial Performance. We are in the process of selling this to our first customers as we speak. We currently have one data program, NODA, which aggregates registry today. We have been selling NODA data for almost 15 years. Care Management

MD Anderson Top Values : Safety first! Adopting rapidly evolving technology Coordinating efforts and communication Thorough Peer Review Incident Learning System – ROILS Anonymous reporting system Just Culture transformation
Operational and Quality Metrics Needs Divisional census and benchmarking Clinical activities and procedures Resource Utilization Federal Registrar reporting at your fingertips Palliative fractionation schemes Treatment planning directives compliance Pain assessment and plan of care
Operational Analysis / Reporting Challenges Existing methods of data collection were manual, insufficient and repetitive… Many systems to pull data from Manual data extraction Inconsistent data between systems – conflicting information Data manipulation – scrubbing outliers Hours of individuals time graphing Who is actually looking at month old data
Ever feel like this? Parts of your computer

Benchmarking across selected targets including treatment times. Identification of patterns of care at different facilities Percentage of data elements captured for each patient to identify data fidelity issues Determination of barriers and outliers in different facility and staff participation Data governance involvement from clinicians and administration across Radiation Oncology Integrated MOSAIQ data sources with Elekta Healthcare Analytics for key performance measures Go-live with Operational Management dashboards in May 2015 Initiated patient flow cycle times project in June 2015 and completed in 4 months Now let’s take a closer look at the patient flow cycle times project and its relation to process metrics – key to operational improvement efficiency programs
