e tracked:
 
Diabetic patients clinical and lab measures to be tracked over time from the DWAP Registry.
 
Diabetic and CHF ED visits over time
 
Labeling Pilot site patient status of each visit (yes/no)
 
Labeling whether each patient is a Clinical Care Specialist patient at the time of their visit
 
This information is essential for the promise to patients that all unnecessary ED visits will be eliminated.
 
2)  Analyzed the response categories for the Patient Satisfaction survey to be implemented on the touch screens at the clinics soon.  Rasch analysis proved the categories of Poor, Good, Excellent and Absolutely Perfect to be better than the alternate response categories of Poor, Very Good, Excellent and Absolutely Perfect.
 
3)  Revised the Systems Dynamics reports of hospital patient info. File submitted Thursday afternoon.  Once Gary signs off on the format and content of file we will renew our work with the CSH data pull.
 
4)  Gearing up for the IHI reports due at the end of the month, including gathering the operational definition of CHF readmits.  Will also attempt to include the PSAT test survey data that used the new response categories into a baseline measure to be reported to IHI.  Will need to check with Bill M. on this one.
