Continued student involvement with quality metrics and patient satisfaction projects. Julia will continue to lead.

6.      Quality Metrics project
Julia Christ worked with MHA students last semesters on the SNF Quality Scorecard. Many organizations asking SNFs for a variety of quality metrics; would like to develop a standard “ask” to minimize the workload on the SNFs. Quality metrics now being used by a variety of organizations, contracts, ACO, Medicare/Medicaid for payment as well as measuring quality. This scorecard will be used by Metro Alliance partner facilities in an effort to standardize the reporting of quality data.
Scorecard and introduction memo to be placed on the web under new Quality Metrics project. Each organization is encouraged to use it when asking for SNF quality metrics.

7.      Patient Satisfaction
Julia Crist is lead. Allina, Fairview, HealthEast, and Health Partners developed/agreed upon 3 TCU patient satisfaction survey questions to be included in each organization’s patient satisfaction survey starting 1/2017. This will provide benchmark for each organization to compare themselves to other similar organizations. Currently Fairview is looking to out-source survey and interested in partnering with other organizations.
Questions:
1.      Your Healthcare Provider involved you and your family in discussions and decisions about your healthcare. (Yes, Definitely; Yes, Somewhat; No)
2.      Your Healthcare Provider explained your condition and progress. (Yes, Definitely: Yes, Somewhat; No)
3.       Would you recommend your Healthcare Provider to others?   Yes      No   

Allina, HP and Park Nic will upload there data (and back data) to start the project. They will include at least 1 ghost data set. HealthEast and Fairview will continue to work toward getting this data collection and results uploaded.
Fairview to report back on possible companies able to do the survey collection.
MHA students to help with this project to continue the work. 

8.      Managing High Risk Medication
Vanessa Kasper and Ali Romstad: the educational module went live 9/26. 120 hits to the project page. 12 users have accessed the module. 5 people completed the module. All 5 stated it made them more comfortable and knowledgeable around managing high risk medications. Discussion around the project noted this needs a CEU to help attract providers.
Direct all new providers to the toolkit and module. Please take the survey at the end.
