NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital: translating innovation into practice.

BACKGROUND: NewYork-Presbyterian (NYP) Hospital, a 2,242-bed not-for-profit academic medical center, was formed by a merger of The New York Hospital and The Presbyterian Hospital in the City of New York. It is also the flagship for the NewYork-Presbyterian Healthcare System, with 37 acute care facilities and 18 others. OVERALL APPROACH TO QUALITY AND SAFETY: The hospital embeds safety in the culture through strategic initiatives and enhances service and efficiency using Six Sigma and other techniques to drive adoption of improvements. Goals are selected in alignment with the annual strategic initiatives, which are chosen on the basis of satisfaction surveys, patient and family complaints, community advisory groups, and performance measures, among other sources. USE OF INFORMATION TO SET AND EVALUATE QUALITY GOALS AND PRIORITIZE INITIATIVES: A new business intelligence system enables online, dynamic analysis of performance results, replacing static paper reports. Advanced features in the clinical information systems include computerized physician order entry; interactive clinical alerts for decision support; a real-time infection control tracking system; and a clinical data warehouse supporting data mining and analysis for quality improvement, decision making, and education. APPROACH TO ADDRESSING THE SIX IOM QUALITY AIMS: To achieve clinical, service, and operational excellence, NYP focuses on all Institute of Medicine quality aims.

Applied informatics for quality assessment and improvement.

In our hospital, transition planning for order entry and clinical documentation has presented an opportunity for process changes and the ability to capture quality initiatives into data warehouses, where they can be utilized for building evidence-based practice. For example, the order entry and clinical documentation system allows for data retrieval of performance measures set by organizations including the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and National Quality Forum. These data will reside in one system where they can be mined and extracted for reporting. Details of this magnitude are crucial when developing a CPR that will serve as the primary data source of clinical information. As we continue to seek IT solutions to improve patient safety and provide quality care, the use of informatics as a foundation in quality programs will provide the structure and database needed to support evidence-based practice at the point-of-care and reduce potential for error.
