Weak Areas (Failures) Open Access Scheduling Internal CAHPS Surveying Competing Priorities Internal CAHPS Surveying Costly Time Consuming Interfaces MCIR Upload Identification of Managed Care Population 4 different attempts Too Large – Wrong Measures – Too Small – Just Right Provider Engagement Competing Priorities (Productivity / EHR / PCMH)
Pearls Education Change is Difficult Leadership (Administration and Board) Provider Staff (Clinical and Support) Change is Difficult Changing to the Chronic Care Model is More Difficult than meeting the NCQA PCMH Standards Staff and Providers do not want to give up the old way Competing Priorities Care Management Population Selection What is your time frame to meet goal? – Work Backwards What percent of your proposed patients are seen during that time? Who will do Care Magement?
Pearls Registry Standardize Data Validation How will you measure various aspects of care? Will your registry report on those items? Success is tied to staff proficiency with EHR. Standardize What will be documented where? Who will perform specific ongoing reporting tasks? Adopt the “Everyone works to their highest level of licensure or training” philosophy. Live the “Triple Aim” and immerse yourself in PCMH
