Health Administration Press Chapter 4: Data Collection Chapter Outline \u2022 Categories of Data \u2022 Considerations in Data Collection \u2022 Objectives for Success \u2022 Sources of Data Copyright 2019 Foundation of the American College of Healthcare Executives. Not for sale. 1 Health Administration Press Categories of Data \u2022 Clinical quality (including both process and outcome measures) \u2022 Financial performance \u2022 Patient, physician, and staff satisfaction \u2022 Functional status \u2022 The challenge is to collect as many data elements from as few data sources as possible with the objectives of consistency and continuity in mind.

Identify the purpose of the data management activity (for monitoring at regular intervals, investigation over a limited period, or one-time study). 2. Identify the most appropriate data sources. 3. Identify the most important measures for collection (the critical few). 4. Design a common-sense data collection strategy that will provide complete, accurate, and timely information.

Example: Patient Satisfaction Scores have decreased consistently over the last six months in our Gastroenterology clinic. Copyright 2019 Foundation of the American College of Healthcare Executives. Not for sale. 9 Health Administration Press A3: Background \u2022 Background of what has happened and why it is important to address. \u2022 Background should give a very brief overview of the situation for someone that is not familiar with the area. Example: The Gastroenterology clinic consists of 25 physicians, seeing 1,600 patients a month. The GI clinic has one of the highest volumes of patient visits in the health-system. The GI specialty is experiencing fierce competition in the regional market. It\u2019s decrease in patient satisfaction scores will be potentially detrimental to our growth in the market.

Not for sale. 12 Health Administration Press A3: Root Cause\/ Gap Analysis \u2022 After analyzing the problem, identify the key reasons for the problem. \u2022 Attempt to get down to the most essential problem (get down to the root of the problem). \u2022 Do not think of solutions or root causes until you do the analysis.

This department supports the greatest source of income for our hospital. The specialty of Cardiology is high in competition.
