Outcomes Review Framework
Before a clinical measure is reviewed or published, its scope, source, timeframe, calculation, and approval process must be clear.
Source
Facility-approved data
Identify the records or systems used and who is responsible for the data.
Method
Definitions and timeframe
Document how each measure is calculated and the period it covers.
Review
Cadence and approval
Agree on who reviews the information, how often, and whether it may be published.
No clinical outcome figures are published on this site because an approved source, timeframe, population, and methodology have not been supplied.
What Must Be Defined First
These details should be documented before a number is used to describe clinical performance.
The residents, settings, and encounters included
The source of the underlying information
The measure definition and calculation
The start and end dates for the review period
Known exclusions, limitations, and missing data
The people authorized to review or publish the result
