AUDIOCONFERENCE ON TAPE

Sponsored by Medical Staff Briefings

presented on April 12, 2006

With today's focus on pay-for-performance—and with an additional 300 core measures on the horizon—the future of your hospital’s funding, compensation, and quality of patient care rests on your ability to

• manage publicly reported data submission
• analyze the data collection process
• gain physician collaboration in reporting quality data
• get physicians to act on data to improve performance and drive your overall quality initiatives

Learn how to incorporate publicly reported indicators into physician performance monitoring and assessment. Our speakers share their proven step-by-step process!

Use data gathered for public reporting—along with data on internal reporting measures―to create and implement quality improvement plans. Our speakers will help you:

• identify who should be involved in these initiatives
• analyze meaningful clinical data and provide feedback in a constructive way
• compare the need to perform well on publicly reported indicators with the need to get physician buy-in for performance improvement on these clinical and service areas
• translate publicly reported indicators requested by players like CMS and JCAHO into physician performance monitoring and assessment
• identify information on physician performance profiles as a means to generate physician buy in and change.

Working collaboratively with your physicians, you'll be able to identify the greatest opportunities for clinical and financial improvement. Purchase this must-hear audioconference today!
