Supervisory Best Practices Series: The Supervisor's Role in Promoting

Data Guided Decision Making

Page 2: Supervisory Best Practices Series: The Supervisor's … Driven...How do we make decisions ‣ Asking people we trust or who know things • Experts, consultants ‣ Go to the literature

Agenda

‣ The Decision Making Process

‣ Data to Drive Quality

‣ Types of Data: Process and Outcome

‣ The Primacy of Client Self-Report

‣ Data Representations and Tools

Page 3: Supervisory Best Practices Series: The Supervisor's … Driven...How do we make decisions ‣ Asking people we trust or who know things • Experts, consultants ‣ Go to the literature

How do we make decisions‣ Instruction/directives/mandates from senior level

leadership, governmental authorities, payer requirements•Sometimes we have no choice (maybe on how to fulfill a

directive)‣ Our own biases (whatever feels right to us based on

our personality, perceptions and experiences)“We don’t see things as THEY are but as WE are”

~Anais Nin

How do we make decisions‣ Asking people we trust or who know things• Experts, consultants‣ Go to the literature (maybe Science will help)‣ What I remember from my training and professors‣ What we have been doing that seems OK (maintain status

quo)‣ What I think my team members will accept‣ What I think my boss wants to hear‣ Ask friends or family‣ Find out what my counterparts are doing‣ Attending webinars (maybe I’ll learn something)‣ Use data

High Performance Teams Pay Attention to ResultsAsk yourself:• Do we have a way of knowing how we are doing?• Are we able to keep track of critically important outcomes?• Do we keep track of our accomplishments and areas that have not

been successful?• What are the important outcomes? How will we know? Who decides?• Do we regularly review our goals and progress in a way that is

specific and measurable?• Do we express dissatisfaction with data that falls short of our

expectations and goals?• Do team members discuss areas of performance they are concerned

about?

Inattention to Results

‣ If the team leader/supervisor doesn’t attend to results/outcomes, it communicates that results don’t matter, and…

• it becomes difficult to hold people accountable for behavior that detracts from the goals and aims of the organization

Performance Indicators: Using Data to understand a process, function or result and using data to find problems and measure Improvement‣ It’s hard to change what you can’t measure‣ It’s hard to know how you’re doing without data and

information‣ It’s hard to get others to change their behavior without

data and information‣ It’s hard to understand the parts of the system that

need to change without data and information◦What to keep doing

◦What to stop doing

◦What to begin doing

Dr. Salerno’s “not so terrific” response to a question early on about dataQuestion: How is your day hospital doing?

Answer: “Great, nothing bad has happened in over a week! Staff are showing up, clients are showing up and no major disasters…. I deserve a raise!”

Data Elements: Performance Indicators‣ Process: what you do to achieve the ultimate and critical

outcomes

‣ Outcomes: what really matters - the final most desired goal - the purpose of the process!

‣ Quantitative data: type of numerical value to be used to express the indicator (percentage, rate, number of occurrences, etc.)

‣ Qualitative data: Focus groups, interviews, surveys involving written feedback

16

Page 17: Supervisory Best Practices Series: The Supervisor's … Driven...How do we make decisions ‣ Asking people we trust or who know things • Experts, consultants ‣ Go to the literature

Types of Data

• % of people who stop smoking• Number of days a person is

homeless• % of hospitalizations per 100

patients• Change in psychological and

functional improvement scores

• How confident clients are that they will prevent relapse?

• What clients believe has been most helpful?

• Staff view of an evidence-based practice?

• % of people screened for SU during intake

• Attendance data• Turnover data• Time from intake to treatment

• What clients think and feel about the SU screening process?

• Reasons for poor attendance/early termination

• Why do staff leave?PRO

degree to which you are implementing your improvement plan as you wanted‣ Practice fidelity is an example of a process indicator‣ Monitoring process improvements is critical to ensure

the evaluation of outcome indicators

Will there be a need for data related to Covid-19 and the disruptions it has caused?

‣ There is a lot of talk about re-imagining behavioral healthcare as well as general healthcare services ‣ In what way can data help? What do we need to know?Maybe….‣ % of missed appointments (kept appointments)

compared to pre Covid-19‣ % of clients who prefer virtual appointments‣ % of clients living alone with little to no social

connections‣ % of clients requiring emergency psychiatric care‣ Increase in referrals compared to pre Covid-19

The Importance of Self-Report: Patient-Centered

Care

“The ultimate judge of the quality of ourwork is the patient, end of story.”

—Don Berwick

Patient Outcomes‣ Patients' views of their physical and behavioral health

status have typically not been addressed outside of clinical trials

‣ Yet the ultimate measure of health system performance is whether it helps people…..

• recover from an acute or chronic health condition; a persisting mental health and/or substance use problem and/or the negative impact of adverse life experiences

•make progress towards personally meaningful goals

Personal reports of one’s perception and experience is one of the critical ways to gauge success.

Use of PROMS in Clinical Practice‣ In the U.S., PROMs are in the early stages of

development for use in clinical practice, as opposed to research.

‣ They have been most widely used to monitor conditions that rely on patients' reports (rather than diagnostic tests), such as depression.

‣One major goal of electronic records is to integrate PROMs.

Challenges Faced by Organizations‣ Capacity to Collect Data, Exchange Information, and

Monitor Population Health‣ Capability•Can the organization use an electronic health record

(EHR) or other methods to collect individual and practice-level data that allows them to identify, track, and segment the population?•Does the organization have a reliable system for

collecting data that supports aggregation of data, information sharing, and identification of high-risk populations?

Workflow addressed: In this workflow, we are considering the patient who is already receiving behavioral health services at the provider agency and is eligible for enrollment in an integrated care program. We are ensuring that the patient sees the primary care provider as soon as possible.

Services Authorization WorkflowService authorization is a process for requesting/reviewing, approving and monitoring patient use of services. When this is integrated into the business process workflows related to clinical services, practice management and financial management, it supports sustainability without interfering with service delivery or the patient/clinician relationship.
