Accessing Data for QI

As adoption of EHRs has increased, so have the concerns about ability to access the data needed to drill down into quality improvement efforts or even reporting requirements. Depending on the type of system being used, data may be cloud based, on a remote server, or on a local server. Further, data may be accessible through preprogrammed, ad hoc, or custom reports, but there may be greater challenges to accessing raw data or data that can be analyzed for quality improvement purposes. Resources in this section address these challenges and provide actionable information for accessing the data needed.

Successful Practices in Accountable Care: El Rio Community Health Center

Best Practices Series #1

El Rio Community Health Center, in Tucson, Arizona, leveraged and enhanced their relationship with local payers, including United Health Care, to support the health center’s population health efforts. El Rio uses complex data analytics provided by United and other payers to help manage existing patients and to stratify new patients by their risk levels and intervene to direct patients to appropriate services in a timely manner and ultimately enhance the patient experience. United Health Care also incentives quality care at El Rio using Health Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) and utilization measures such as Emergency Room visits and hospital readmissions.
