Looking to build physician scorecards?
Interested in physician performance and utilization? HMC is as well, and to facilitate this, we’re organizing a peer group that will focus on building meaningful physician scorecards. Our databases already house extensive clinical data and comparisons, and clients have asked about standard metrics or reports to find opportunities to improve utilization and quality via physician profiles or scorecards. Therefore, we are in the process of building a data pathway to allow hospitals to understand the quality, utilization, and cost impacts of their physician groups and practices. The scorecard will uncover how physician practice, utilization, LOS, and quality directly impact your bottom line, your patient satisfaction, and your market share.
This is the chance to start a productive dialog with your professional colleagues and HMC. Ultimately, it will allow you to provide input into the report characteristics – what data and format would be most useful, and what links and pathways would offer the greatest insight. Understanding and communicating these practice and utilization issues will enable your hospital to thrive. This virtual group will collaborate via the KnowledgeWeb with surveys, discussion forums, and Webinars. If you are an HMC client interested in joining our development group, please click here and start to explore the world of physician scorecards.
