Practice Transformation Analytics Dashboard for Clinician Engagement

Area of Science:

• Health Services Research
• Primary Care Medicine
• Health Informatics

Background:

• Practice transformation in primary care focuses on data-driven redesign, patient-centered delivery, and practitioner engagement.
• Effective tools are crucial for practices to successfully implement transformation initiatives.
• The Quality Payment Program necessitates practice readiness and data utilization.

Purpose of the Study:

• To develop and evaluate a practice transformation analytics dashboard to present actionable data for care redesign.
• To overcome the barrier of overwhelming data for practices participating in transformation efforts.
• To engage practices in data-driven discussions for improving patient care delivery.

Main Methods:

• The Garden Practice Transformation Network in Maryland (GPTN-Maryland) involved 48 practices and 109 sites.
• Practices collected and received data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
• A practice transformation analytics dashboard was created to present data in an actionable format.

Main Results:

• Practices using the dashboard viewed cost data, key performance indicator trends, and their transformation phase for the first time.
• 72% of practices found the dashboard engaging.
• 48% of practices reported the presented data as actionable.

Conclusions:

• The practice transformation analytics dashboard promotes advancement in practice transformation and patient care improvement.
• The tool facilitated discussions on data, care redesign, costs, and sustainable change.
• Further research is needed to assess the dashboard's impact on care costs and quality.
