Using real-time analytics to improve financial, operational, and quality metrics

Key health care reform milestones across the first half of 2012 and the Supreme Court’s confirmation of the Accountable Care Act suggest the shift toward value-based payment—and care—will continue full speed ahead. Physician practice leaders must redefine the value of physician practices and move beyond the simple calculus of practice bottom-line profit toward comprehensive quantification of practices’ overall impact on the system. Only then can a compelling case to system leaders demonstrate the full contribution of practices, and the true role in system success.

Essential to this undertaking is a program capable of measuring, tracking and improving performance across key areas, particularly revenue, operations, cost, and quality. In addition, practice leaders must be able to communicate the downstream benefit of practices to the system.

Managing Director Jim Lazarus and Practice Manager Raghu Bukkapatnam will discuss how to gain visibility into performance and secure buy-in from physicians through improvement-focused benchmarking and rigorous data analytics. This complimentary presentation will not only explore the value of implementing a physician practice dashboard but also detail best practices for developing an effective dashboard to use with practice and system executives, as well as individual physicians.

Attendees will learn how to:

  • Develop a comprehensive physician practice dashboard
  • Avoid common pitfalls in dashboard design
  • Incorporate high-level strategic objectives, network-focused metrics, and provider-level measures
  • Use dashboards to identify critical problem and opportunity areas
  • Make a compelling case for practices’ value to the system
