Data-driven CQI Tools
Clinical Intelligence (CI) combines the power of evidence-based practice, knowledge management and clinical decision support with technology to drive healthcare and clinical outcomes to a new level.  Identifying clinically relevant data enables changes in treatment patterns and quality of care improvement. As performance measurement continues to evolve, more concise standards are needed to define the types of measures that are most appropriate to improve quality and patient safety.  Valid and reliable methods for the collection, analysis, and reporting of data is critical.  CI has developed a comprehensive Tool Box to help individualize the needs of each hospital client.

Chances are hospitals have access to their own data, but hospitals need more than numbers. They need accurate and useful data supported with knowledgeable interpretation. That's what CI does best;  we go beyond the numbers to deliver insight. CI offers tools that allow us to ask the right questions and the support to make the right decisions.  

The purpose of CI's Guidelines Acceptance Program (GAP) is to facilitate hospital clients with the development of a clinical guidelines program to help translate evidence into practice, reduce variation in physician practice patterns, engender physician acceptance and support, create ongoing dialogue between physicians and hospital staff, and improve quality of clinical care. CI supports data management processes to include objective and subjective prioritization matrices, opportunity identification, routine trending and reporting of selected clinical measures.

Analytics customized for each client may include the following tools:

Prioritization Matrix - Project Selection Methodology
Historical Trending and Benchmarking
Population-based Resource Utilization
Indicators of Success and Project Evaluation
Protocol Utilization
Clinical Performance Measurement
