Dr. Rick May, one of the guests on today's episode, has this to say about a good many quality improvement initiatives, “What we see, which is unfortunately, all too common these days, hospitals just flail. They do one thing, they try another, nothing sustains. At the end of the day, they look back after a year or two of work and they just haven't gained any ground at all.” Today, on Modern Practice, we discuss a more focused and lasting approach to improvement initiatives that will bring comprehensive quality transformation to your practice.

Today, it's not enough to just pick a few quality initiatives to work on each year and hope for the best. Complex systems like hospitals need a comprehensive approach: an interlinked series of people, programs, and analytics to consistently improve and sustain quality.

In the previous episode we covered how to optimize your national scorecard performance. On this episode we examine the data points that drive national scorecard performance. Ratings organizations track thousands of metrics on each hospital, attempt to run these through analytic programs and then spit out grades. It is a confusing jumble, and in this discussion, we share how to focus on the metrics that matter.

There are dozens of national scorecards and hundreds of metrics to track the performance of health care organizations. Yet, it is a challenge to use these metrics to improve care. From deciding on which scorecard to use to figuring out how to best employ scorecard metrics, the choices can be bewildering. On this episode, we'll discuss how you can address these issues and optimize your organization's national scorecard performance.

Rick May 22 2022 - 1 Samuel 18 by Nelson Covenant Church
The mid-2000s saw a strong move toward quality in surgical procedures, with the emergence of the Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP), various initiatives to reduce surgical site infections (SSIs) and the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) developed by the American College of Surgeons (ACS). Yet, the passing years have revealed the need to get actionable data around surgery care and outcomes for improvement efforts to succeed. Actionable data is critical to drive optimal quality and financial performance. Also needed is to provide surgeons with a system in place that fosters improvement. In this episode, we continue our discussion on these and other ways to improve surgical quality. Guest speaker: Rick May, MD Senior Principal Clinical Quality Improvement Vizient Orthopedic Surgeon Moderator: Tomas Villanueva, DO, MBA, FACPE, SFHM Principal Clinical Operations and Quality Vizient Show Notes: [00:28] Surgery and the hospital's financial success [01:14] Payers and surgical costs [02:07] Surgical quality and national scorecards [02:45] Surgery impacts many metrics [03:23] Surgeon compensation for quality [04:20] Need to have system in place that fosters surgical quality [04:56] The rise of ambulatory surgery and the effect on quality [06:33] The ROI for improving surgical care [08:00] The future of surgical improvement [09:05] Start now.

“Surgeons don't actually care that much about mortality.” So says orthopedic surgeon Dr. Rick May, a Senior Principal at Vizient. This may seem surprising, but in this episode, Dr. May goes on to explain how other metrics around surgery are much more important and valuable. In this interview, you'll hear his explanation and learn a lot more about the current move toward quality in surgical procedures.

“Splitters” are a challenge for hospital surgery departments, as more and more options outside the hospital facility are available to surgeons. Often, these options, such as ambulatory surgery centers, are more attractive with faster OR turnover times and fewer requirements on surgeons in preoperative and postoperative care. Losing these cases is a blow to hospital operations and finance. This episode provides several approaches that can encourage these surgeons to make your hospital a destination of choice.

Not too long ago, hospitals got paid much more for bad outcomes than good, but those days are long gone. Just surgical complications alone can add $25,000 on average to a hospital's direct costs. Of those complications, only 10 percent are procedure-related (technical) and 90 percent are due to medical conditions. This is just one reason for health care organizations to have a robust preoperative program. On this episode, you'll hear about all the benefits of developing a great preoperative clinic.
