Our organization is looking to go to Segway from sampling on UDS report to reporting on the entire Universe of the particular UDS measure.
Are there any FQHC's that are currently doing 100% reporting and if so what tools or workflows are you using to capture all of the required data elements especially some of the more unstructured data items that providers tend to document free text?
Thanks,
Don
Hi Don! Not familiar with the Segway product, we use the Visualutions "VisAnalytics" tool for our UDS reporting. We have found that over time (we have only been live with CPS since Q4 2012) that the number of measures we audit vs. pull from system has increased year-over-year, although we are not quite at 100% yet. We try to focus on the biggest headache measures that we end up auditing (ex. Pap tests) and see what we can do to fix it over the course of the year, aware that we can't fix everything. We have found that implementing additional programs such as a lab interface, will help with some measures - Diabetes is a big one!
Feel free to email me ([email protected]) if you have specific questions on specific measures - I'd be happy to share our workflows.
