9. BUMED Metrics BUMED Business Plan and BUMED Note (6310) requires monitoring and reporting of:
Diabetes patients (age 18-75) with hemoglobin A1c < 9.0%
Diabetes patients (age 18-75) with LDL < 100mg/dl
Asthma patients (age 5-56) on long term medications
Female patients (age 52-69) with current mammogram
Data from HEDIS® metrics in PHN
BUMED Business Plan states that clinical goal is to perform greater than HEDIS® 90th percentile.
Doesn’t prevent the tracking of other metrics or the use of other registries or databases, but only PHN data counts.
10. Other Relevant Metrics Numerous other sources for metrics and benchmarks…
AHRQ
NCQA/HEDIS
JCAHO
HP 2010
Disease-Specific Metrics
Diabetes-- ADA, DQIP
Asthma-- NHLBI
11. Metrics- Informatics Support Local Informatics Tools
CHCS
Registries
SQL Servers
M2
BUMED-Endorsed Tool
Population Health Navigator- this will be the tool from which data is reported to the PHN dashboard and the BUMED Business Plan
12. Benchmarking & HEDIS Metrics
13. Performance Benchmarking Benchmarking is the continuous process of measuring processes, services, and practices against industry standards to compare performance and gauge where and whether efforts to improve might be indicated.
Serves as a basis for action for improvements.
Keys to successful benchmarking:
1) analysis at a level specific to what the user wants to measure
2) follow-up by appropriate personnel to research the reasons behind the undesirable results
3) formulation of alternate strategies for improvement
One consideration in determining the appropriateness of benchmarking at any level is credibility, both in terms of reliability (i.e., accuracy and consistency) of the data used for the analysis and of having enough data to produce meaningful results.
14. Benchmarking and tracking selected clinical services leads to improvement in health care processes:
Clinical processes (patient care and follow-up)
Enrollment/Administrative processes
Data quality and coding processes
Patient and provider education process
15. HEDIS Metrics What is HEDIS?
How are these metrics defined?
How are the benchmarks derived?
Why use HEDIS? Benefits?
16. Health Plan Employer Data and Information Set®
Developed/maintained by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA)
Most widely used set of performance measures in the managed care industry (61 measures/8 categories)
Effectiveness of Care
Set of standardized performance measures to compare the performance of health care plans.
Very precise metric definitions based on: continuous enrollment, inclusion/exclusion criteria, age restrictions, etc.
17. Does NOT represent the standard of care, merely the standard of clinical quality for comparison to other facilities.
Benchmarks are derived from population norms qYr
Benefits of HEDIS…
Concrete performance benchmarks for managed care and state/federal health plans allowing comparisons for healthcare delivery
Consequently… allows the Navy to objectively compare itself against nationally-recognized civilian industry standards
18. Population Health Navigator
19. MHS Population Health Portal, web-based information and report application
developed by the USAF, adapted for Tri-Service use, now used throughout the MHS.
Selected by BUMED as the Medical Informatics Tool to be used by MTFs; new program implemented Jan 04.
All Navy commands and most branch clinics have PHN users, with >200 users currently.
Provides Action/Prevalence Lists for 14 Clinical Preventive Services and specific diseases/conditions.
Patient-, provider-, clinic- and facility-specific action lists
Updated monthly
Provides HEDIS® measures to compare clinical quality of delivered healthcare. The PHN will give you lists of your patients who have diabetes, asthma, depression…..a total of 10 diseases and two clinical preventive services. They tell you the patients name, provider, some tests results, and contact informationThe PHN will give you lists of your patients who have diabetes, asthma, depression…..a total of 10 diseases and two clinical preventive services. They tell you the patients name, provider, some tests results, and contact information
20. M2
Standard Inpatient Data Record (SIDR)
Standard Ambulatory Data Record (SADR)
Health Care Service Reports (HCSR)
Approximately 103 CHCS hosts
Lab, radiology (mmgm), pathology (paps)
Pharmacy Data (PDTS)-
MTF, network, mail order
Defense Eligibility Enrollment Registration System (DEERS) Because data is pulled from DEERS and all CHCS hosts, the system pulls patients passed on enrolled facility but will pull visits, lab and radiology tests regardless of where the test was performed.
PTSD data is pulled for pharmacy encounters so MTF, Network, and Mail Order Pharmacy prescriptions will be reflected. Again, the Methods define what is considered a prescription refill.
Importance of data accuracy. Data pulled is what’s entered….only as good as your coding, end of day reports, etc.
The data will be updated monthly but, because of where it is retrieved from, some of the data is 2-3 months old when it appears on the web. You will see that much of the data is from your CHCS host….this data is the most current. Data coming from M2 for purchased care is usually behind several months because of delays in the billing process.

21. Strengths
Provides both corporate level (HEDIS®) metrics and drills to patient/provider/clinic level
Provides data on patient care regardless of where care provided:
throughout entire MHS
inpatient & outpatient care
network & MTF care
Can be displayed in Excel® for easy use of data.
FREE and readily available
22. Data Quality Issues Also a tool that provides the opportunity to assess data quality…
Enrollment- AD, PCS’s
Enrollment accuracy- PCM, pt contact info
CHCS provider entry- ensuring providers, nurses, techs/corpstaff are entered correctly, haven’t PCS’d
Coding entry/accuracy- ensuring certain clinics/providers are using the appropriate codes
e.g. gestational diabetes vs. pregnant diabetic patient
e.g. diabetes education (for family members) vs. actual diagnosis of diabetes
23. BUMED Note 6310 - Asthma Requires the following:
Standards: optimal asthma management includes appropriate assessment and therapy*, providing patient education and assuring follow up especially after ED visits* and admissions*
Identification of Cohort*
Clinical Practice Guideline
Disease Management Reengineering
Identification of patients with persistent asthma not on meds*
Patient education
Metrics:
Asthma patients (age 5-56) on long term medications*
24. Hopefully everyone has seen this slide before….
The PHN can be used to identify your population.
Identify the Population: Entire population can be listed, broken out by provider, provider groups, and clinical preventive services required for a specific age group
Forecast Demand: Is dependant on accurate identification of your population, knowing the healthcare needs and disease prevalence of the population
Manage Demand: Goal is to manage the health of individuals and populations with a focus on prevention of illness and injury. All stems from knowing your population and initiating the clinical preventive services to keep them well. If they already have diseases, managing the disease to prevent progression.
Evidence-Based Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Prevention: You may look at your diabetics and determine where your patients could benefit from a Clinical Practice Guideline.
Community Outreach: You can use PHN to determine health promotion activities and target cohorts.
Analyze Performance and Health Status: You’ve already seen the graphs that BUMED is using to evaluate clinical practice. This information is taken from the PHN and is one example of how the data can be utilized.

50. Leveraging PHN Data Actions that might be considered
Sort by age, PCM clinic, PCM provider
Find patients not on appropriate meds
Contact patients using demographic information
Assess utilization behavior for intervention
Lots of ER visits
ER/inpatient visits without outpatient care or meds
Consider case management for designated patients
Compare quality of care via HEDIS measure

88. Exercise Part 1 Look up your clinic’s data for the HEDIS Clinical Metrics being reported in the BUMED Business Plan via the PHN Dashboard
Long-Term Asthma Medication Use
https://dataquality.med.navy.mil/reconcile/pophealth
89. Exercise Part 2a Look up your clinic’s data for the HEDIS Clinical Metric using the Population Health Navigator
Long-Term Asthma Medications
Make a note of total HEDIS eligible asthmatics
https://pophealth.afms.mil
90. Exercise Part 2b Pull up the Asthma “Action List”
How many asthmatics are on the action list?
How does this compare with the number of HEDIS®-eligible diabetics?
What’s the difference between these 2 groups?
The number of asthmatics on the Action List should be higher than the HEDIS eligible population because the Action List is for all asthmatics regardless of age or continuous enrollment status. The number of asthmatics on the Action List should be higher than the HEDIS eligible population because the Action List is for all asthmatics regardless of age or continuous enrollment status.
91. Exercise Part 3 What % of asthmatics on the action list have:
No HEDIS-appropriate medication?
No inhaled corticosteroid medication?
(Hint: Use Excel and/or the calculator on the computer when trying to figure out data)
Extra Credit: What is the compliance rate for asthma medications for the Internal Medicine Clinic versus Pediatric Clinic? You will need to use Excel to sort the data in each category. You will need to use Excel to sort the data in each category.
92. Exercise Lessons What questions arise during this exercise related to:
Coding
Enrollment
Process Some items to review:
Coding…are there coding errors that make patients appear as diabetics when they aren’t? Gestational diabetes, spouse attending class and getting coded for diabetes, improper coding of eye exams or provider doing exam
Enrollment…do you have enrollees who get most of their healthcare through another health system? If so, results won’t show up in the PHN. Maybe nothing you can do but be aware of it.
Enrollees who move and never transfer their enrollment to new location?
Enrollment to PCM-- PCM group. Is it accurate? Are there a lot of patients with a PCM?
Process….how does your clinic manage their patients? Is it random when the patient decides to come in for a appt or do you have a plan for patient management? Would Clinical Practice Guidelines help? What about nurse managed clinics? Is the entire healthcare team involved in the care of the patient?Some items to review:
