Our Take on Regulatory Reporting - Deep Dive
The landscape is becoming more about value than volume. To realize the value, reports can no longer be thought of and used solely for downstream data delivery purposes. Rather, these sets of data must be incorporated in their purest form back into CHR decision mechanisms. When done so, clinicians can trust that in-system recommendations designed to encourage behavior change have been thoroughly vetted -- enough so to report to downstream vendors and regulatory agencies. Only then, when the data comes full circle, will value begin to come forth as quickly as necessitated by the increasingly stiff measurements and penalties coming down the pipeline.
At most organizations, this is a challenge for staff distracted by any number of competing priorities. Particularly so, given such deep knowledge on all the necessary integrated and moving parts to make the paradigm a reality is usually pretty thin. To barely scratch the surface, the following are necessary to achieve the goal:
Alignment of report criteria and output across all organization initiatives
Writing and aligning of report specifications across your preferred mediums to facilitate usage by multiple consumers concurrently
Alignment of data with your CDS strategy
Working with report writers to validate output and integrate with in-Epic viewing formats
Oversight to assure that report writing is done in such a way that it allows for improved system efficiency, minimal updates from year to year, and a thorough documentation process to support gaps in knowledge
Preparation of maintainable reporting encyclopedias that can change as regulations change
Updating in-Epic workflow, metric, and user-review functionality configurations
Helping to compute your organization's MIPS composite score
Reviewing, updating, communicating and training existing and new solutions as necessary to increase compliance
