According to the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, “People with multiple health and social needs are high consumers of health care services, and thus drivers of high health care costs. The elevated cost of care in this population offers a tremendous opportunity to understand the individuals and their priorities and needs, and to craft a service delivery plan that meets their needs more effectively at a significantly lower cost.”
Analyzing data helps to quantify health care processes, outcomes, patient satisfaction, and organizational structure and systems that are associated with producing high quality health care. The focus for the 2020 ECQIP Care Coordination program is a two-part measure that aligns with the Patient Centered Medical Home model of care. Care Plan MeasureNumerator: Total number of high risk patients that have an active care plan Denominator: Total number of high risk patients Definitions: High Risk Patients - Total number of high risk patients that have been identified for your organization using three of the Patient Care Medical Home categories and have an active care plan in the medical record that is updated at least once a year. Active Care Plan - A written care plan that includes a care team, an agreement of plan by participant, an emergency plan of care, and a reviewed/creation date during the measurement period. Transitions of Care MeasureNumerator: Total number of patients that have been in the emergency room or admitted to the hospital within the last quarter that had a follow-up via phone or visit within 72 hours after discharge Denominator: Total number of patients that have been in the emergency room or hospitalized within the last quarter Definitions: Quarters will follow a traditional calendar quarter • Quarter 1: January-March
