Overview

Through the data validation process, valuable information is gained that can then be used to improve performance around patient care or quality of care metrics.  Improving quality performance may take the form of improving data collection processes, better identifying patients who need additional interventions, or decreasing missed opportunities to provide patients appropriate interventions, among other possibilities. This section includes guidance on leveraging Health IT to improve quality performance including change packages for recommended approaches related to various quality of care measures.

Colorectal Cancer Screening Change Package

From National Assoc. of Community Health Centers and TMIT Consulting

Released in July of 2016, this change package is comprised of tools and resources pertinent to colorectal cancer screening from authoritative resources on the topic and organized by the change package outline. Some of these approaches and tools were used in the NACHC Improving Data Integrity, Access, and Analysis Project, which focused on applying data-driven strategies to improve colorectal cancer screening. The change package structure and organization aligns with TMIT Consulting’s CDS/QI Worksheets (available for download here), in that they are both organized around Key Foundations, Population Health Management, and Individual Patient Supports. Change packages like this one provide vetted enhancement strategies and tools that support the analysis by helping teams understand ‘What do successful approaches to the target look like?’
