“We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams.” - Jimmy Carter

5. Using Data to Identify Next Steps
These presentations have demonstrated how the NQC Disparity Calculator can be used to calculate disparities in your service populations
Background is provided around how and why the calculator has been designed in this way

6. Intersecting Probability and Impact
We have limited time and resources and need to be focused in our activities
Which group in our assessment had the greatest number of SIGNIFICANT results across probability methods?
Which group in our assessment had the greatest number of lives that an be improved?
Often times the most probable and the highest impact groups are not going to be the same. A decision is made whether the impact or the probability is more important.
Using the graphic to the right, focus your energy where there is the deepest red. Avoid spending your energy where there is white in the graphic to the right
FOCUS
AVOID

7. Reminder - This Calculator Does it ALL For You!

8. QI Project Selection
For all intents and purposes, your QI Project for disparities is the population you select by finding the intersection of probability and impact
QI staff maintains the energy for QI Projects and leads conversation at staff and other team meetings to identify appropriate strategies that play into the QI Project
QI teams at clinics and at lead agencies implement the specific strategies and discuss progress and staff and other team meetings, raise concerns through the QI staff, and request training on CQM and QI principles, and specific strategy implementation

9. Next Steps After Population Selection
Write an aim statement to charter your commitment to reduce disparities for your selected population
Continue to track progress over time using this calculator to ensure that disparities are closing
Share your progress in working with your selected population on to spread your work!
