Missed opportunities mapping: computable healthcare quality improvement Benjamin Brown Trainee General Practitioner and PhD student Richard Williams, John Ainsworth, Iain Buchan Medinfo, Copenhagen, 21 st August
Current practice
Missed Opportunities Mapping “failure to deliver a quality standard of clinical care that likely contributes to an adverse outcome that may otherwise have been avoided if it had been achieved”

Demo: hypertension and CVD World-leading cause of death More deaths <75 years that any other condition UK and NW England performs worse than anywhere in developed world 90% of MI risk attributable to modifiable risk factors One of most important is HTN 1/3 adult UK population have HTN - most prevalent risk factor and LTC Clear guidance abundant 2010 UK national health survey: >40% remain ↑BP 44% of patients do not receive guideline rx Therefore, when a hypertensive patient suffers a CVD event it is reasonable to ask: Was there a missed opportunity for this to have been prevented/postponed? What was the association with patient demographics, deprivation and co-morbidities?
Demo: methods Salford, UK - 3 rd highest preventable mortality from CVD Fully integrated EHR > 232K people, 53 GPs and 1 hospital All HTN patients suffering CVD events between Whether or not achieved HTN management standards prior
Headline figures 3718 patients with CVD events 1186 (32%) – last BP ≥ 140/ (36%) – average BP ≥ 140/ (10%) – unmeasured two years prior Estimated cost £3.1M ($4.9M)
