<p><strong>Model for Health Professionals' Cross Training for Mass Casualty Respiratory Needs</strong><br />
|
|
<strong>Partner: </strong>RTI International<br />
|
|
<strong>Description:</strong> Mass casualty scenarios often require mass respiratory support involving ventilators. Many States, localities, and hospitals have identified a major deficiency in the utilization of equipment such as ventilators due to an extreme shortage of health care personnel who are trained to manage, to some extent independently, patients on ventilators. One way to address to this critical shortage is to examine the training theory of "cross-training" as a feasible technique to adopt for this situation. This task order will inform the development, implementation, and evaluation of a model for cross training of health professionals responsible for providing ventilator support to mass casualties. The model developed under this task order will be evaluated for efficiency and effectiveness.<br />

<p><strong>Compendium: Examples of Payment-Quality Alignment, Misalignment, and Realignment</strong><br />
|
|
<strong>Partner: </strong>Abt Associates<br />
|
|
<strong>Description:</strong> Abt will develop a compendium of examples illustrating alignment, misalignment, and realignment between payment and quality. The compendium will include a conceptual alignment-misalignment framework and summarize findings, strategies, and principles for payment reform (realignment) discussions. Of particular interest is identifying instances in which providers and payers have negotiated a solution, thereby moving from misalignment to alignment in one or more quality areas, or creating a business case for quality improvement where none existed before. Examples in the compendium will include: a variety of payment schemes (e.g., fee for service, capitation, partial capitation); the continuum of delivery settings, (e.g., office-based physicians, hospitals, nursing homes); and the six Institute of Medicine quality aims (safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable care).<br />

<p><strong>Improving the Quality of Early Cancer Care</strong><br />
|
|
<strong>Partner: </strong>RTI International<br />
|
|
<strong>Description:</strong> This task order will focus on how cancer care within complex managed care networks can be designed/redesigned to improve the quality of care at significant decision points along the continuum from suspicion of cancer to treatment plan. The primary criteria for quality assessment and improvement will be the six IOM goals of safety, effectiveness, patient-centeredness, timeliness, efficiency, and equity. For each decision point addressed, the project team may develop and test one or more interventions to improve the care in any or all of these goal areas. Particular attention will be paid to the accuracy, timeliness, and completeness of the information transmitted among providers (both within and across organizational units) and patients. The project will develop decision tools or aids that could be readily applied in diverse care delivery settings that reflect today's complex managed care systems. Operational quality-of-care metrics may be developed/used to assess provider and organizational performance.<br />

<p><strong>Security Checkpoints and Patients With Radiopharmaceuticals</strong><br />
|
|
<strong>Partner: </strong>Abt Associates<br />
|
|
<strong>Description:</strong> Because of new security measures implemented in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, many cases of nuclear medicine patients being stopped by law enforcement officials have been reported. In many instances, the patients have expressed a lack of knowledge that their procedure involved administration of radionuclides and that their bodies still retained some of that radioactivity. This study will examine the consistency in practices across various hospitals and clinics pertaining to: (1) determination of when patients receiving radiopharmaceuticals can be released from care; (2) types of information and radiation dose-reduction instructions that are provided to patients; and (3) methods for communicating such information to patients.<br />

<p><strong>Developing a Targeted Injury Detection System (TIDS)</strong><br />
|
|
<strong>Partner: </strong>RTI International<br />
|
|
<strong>Description:</strong> The study objective is to develop and deploy a prospective triggers system (the Targeted Injury Detection System, or TIDS) for highly prevalent adverse events. The TIDS combines indicators from both administrative data and medical record information. The TIDS must be able to deploy in multiple systems across the U.S., and it must operate within hospital and health systems with diverse electronic health record (EHR) systems including institution-specific (i.e., homegrown) and vendor-based (e.g., McKesson) EHRs, as well as in paper-based systems. TIDS will address three common sources of hospital-based injuries: adverse drug events, hospital-acquired infection, and pressure ulcers/injuries. It will build on the IOM-recommended structure of case finding, evaluation, and classification; use explicit criteria within each step so that it is possible to generate a reliable external audit of the safety data systems; and function at a level and in a form that could be implemented manually and electronically by small, rural hospitals as well as larger hospitals/hospital systems.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> This project will: (1) ascertain whether interventions have been implemented in plans with significant increases in Ct screening rates; (2) assess the barriers, facilitators, and costs of implementation for interventions designed to improve Ct screening rates with a focus on network model plans, or determine whether plans can identify intervening factors that may have contributed to increased Ct screening rates; (3) assess how screening rates compared before and after implementation of any interventions in such plans; and (4) develop and disseminate a "best practices" guide or compendium to other U.S. network model health plans and other organizations. Emory will collaborate with the National Committee on Quality Assurance on this project.<br />
