The case for a core measure solution

Imagine a future where rapidly changing requirements have no impact on your organization’s data integrity or efficiency.

Adapting to outmaneuver variability

Changing core measure requirements create variability in workload and training for internal teams, resulting in reduced performance and data integrity.

As a result of managing almost 500,000 clinical data transactions per month, our efficiency remains best-in-class despite changing requirements and our data integrity is gold standard.

Our scale, expertise, and technology curtail the impact of the variability.

Smart strategy returns greater engagement and data integrity

Sharp HealthCare transformed their quality department: The Vice President, Quality & Patient Safety identified growing inefficiencies related to changing regulations. The burden of work resulted in a disconnect between the quality department and the units. Providers were accustomed to receiving information six months after discharge.

Results of the Q-Centrix partnership:

  • Data integrity improved; compliance increased by 33%.
  • The quality team engages and educates their clinical teams with current core measure data.
  • The team implemented new rules, checklists and alerts to prevent fall-outs before they occur.

How we work

At Q-Centrix, our Core Measures workflow includes simple steps that ensure meaningful, high-fidelity, complete and secure data.

Patient lists are provided via the Case Upload tool in Q-Apps® or a secured SharePoint.
Cases are assigned to clinical data specialists, who abstract and enter information into a designated vendor tool.
Questions or missing documentation are flagged for collaborative review with your team.
A random sample of cases are pulled monthly for review and are scored, in the form of inter-rater reliability (IRR).
Your team accesses real-time data in the vendor tool at any time as cases are completed.
