An Electronic Dashboard For Improving the Quality of Health Care and for Decreasing the Cost of health Care Stephen A. Kardos D.O.
Stimulus For Dashboard Development Rising Health care expenditures Failure of existing methods to stabilize and reduce medical expense Insurance Government programs Doctors and hospitals Limited access provider networks Disease Management Companies Lack of available information for precise medical interventions to improve health status improvement History
Challenge Solution Disparate systems Outlier management Business block management Care determined by benefits No leveraging of information Emphasis on process Emphasis on network discounts Single relational database Population management Individual client management Need for care is independent of benefits Leveraged information Emphasis on outcome Emphasis on Care Management History
Logic derived from medical practice standards Published US standards of care (ADA, AHA, other) Single flexible software program that allows multiple preventive health and disease states to be managed (“Excel” spreadsheet for Health) Technology-Driven “Dashboard” Automated Integration of: Claims data Clinical data Pharmacy data Laboratory data Algorithm Evolution
Care Management Definition Stratification of medical risk in each population Clinical guidelines Wellness Preventive Disease management Case management Utilization review Predictive modeling Prescription drug management Plan design Care Management is the convergence of multiple medical tactics properly applied to specific populations including:
