Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Quality Improvement
  • Palliative Care Analytics

Background:

  • Healthcare reform necessitates demonstrating value due to poor outcomes and rising costs.
  • Palliative care (PC) programs require robust methods to show their impact.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an automated palliative care (PC) scorecard for measuring clinical, operational, and financial impact.
  • To facilitate the demonstration of value by PC programs.

Main Methods:

  • The scorecard utilizes quality measures from the Measuring What Matters (MWM) project.
  • Data is automatically extracted from electronic health records (EHRs).
  • The scorecard was developed using data from University of Florida Health and implemented at University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.

Main Results:

  • The scorecard construction identified areas for improvement in team structure, clinical processes, and outcomes.
  • Automated data extraction reduces manual data entry costs.
  • Clinical staff are freed for direct patient care, increasing PC value.

Conclusions:

  • An automated PC scorecard is feasible and valuable for demonstrating program impact.
  • Automation enhances efficiency and cost-effectiveness in palliative care delivery.
  • This tool supports continuous quality improvement in palliative care settings.
