Slide 12 What Does Future Look Like?Value—"Business Case" and "Value" of collaborative QI effortsWorking with AHRQ researchers and tools—Iowa SID, NIS, HCUP Cost-to-Charge Ratio filesMatching Software—match patients with adverse event to similar patients without Are adverse events associated to excess .. LOS? From 2004 to 2007—Avoided approx. 929 daysMortality? Avoided Approx. 10—16 deathsCharges? Avoided Approx. $3.9 millionCost?How many events are Present on Admission (POA)? Slide 13 AHRQ Support / Tools We ValueAHRQ QI Support An efficient mode to receive help on use of tools E.g.—PSI 3—Decubitus UlcerAHRQ Quality Indicator Learning Institute (QILI) An effective collaborative for AHRQ QI Users Affected our Data Committee Policies Tiering, NQF-endorsement, Coding issues, ValidationIncluded information in reports to Iowa legislature Slide 14 How Else Can AHRQ Help?Healthcare-Associated Infections—gaining a lot of attention CAUTIC-Diff — Iowa trend is similar to National trendPotential 2008 attributable cost savings if Iowa C-Diff reduced by 10% $1.5—$2.2 MillionIowa IP's—use SID/NIS if possible!!Research will help shapeIowa Statewide HAI PlanCosts based on CDC Report:Scott, DR (CDC), The Direct Medical Costs of Hais in US Hospitalls and the Benefits of Prevention. http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/pdf/Scott_CostPaper.pdf Slide 15 How Else Can AHRQ Help?Improve Documentation Use of AHRQ Support Line may be reduced if documentation is improvedContinue AHRQ QILI Focus on equipping users for responsible public reportingHighlight/integrate other supportive tools—HCUP software, statistical briefs, State Snapshots, AHRQ HAI Web page Slide 16 Thank You100 E.
