Aim • Evaluation of effectiveness of dashboard • Evaluation of impact on clinical activities
Introduction Western Sydney has a high Generating and maintaining prevalence of Diabetes. an updated list of these individuals was challenging. Testing Diabetes is not a routine in all hospitals in WSLHD. Mid-2016 - HbA1c Screening tests at Blacktown and Mt. Druitt ED commenced. Revealed alarming rate – 17% Diabetes (HbA1c > 6.5 ) – 30% Pre-diabetes (HbA1c 5.7 - 6.4)
Background Diabetes Inpatient Surveillance Dashboard developed Improve identification of diabetes patients across Hospital Provide Pop Health view if HbA1c Testing (>100k) Enable improved management of inpatients by Diabetes Team via MOC
Data Source
Dashboard as a tool
Evaluation Method
Quantitative evaluation Currently – Length of Stay (LOS) – Reduce in the LOS by ~2days – CMI – No signification improvement Clinical Indicators – 6 Months Before Comparison Indicator 6 months After (Average length of stay in days ) (05/05/2018 – 04/11/2018) (05/11/2018 – 04/05/2019) Primary Diagnoses is diabetes - Including 0.51 ↓ Gestational Diabetes 3.93 3.42 Primary Diagnoses is diabetes - Excluding 0.48 ↓ Gestational Diabetes 3.93 3.45 Identified diabetes in any diagnoses - 0.99 ↓ Including Gestational Diabetes 5.36 4.37 Identified diabetes in any diagnoses - 1.95 ↓ excluding Gestational Diabetes 7.19 5.24 In future, planning to consider HAC for diabetes complication
Qualitative evaluation
Qualitative evaluation
Evaluation Results Improved identification diabetes patients Improved clinical management of hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia Improved identification of undiagnosed diabetes in pregnancy. Reduce inpatient length of stay Dashboard helped identifying data quality issues User feedback - easy review of all diabetes patients across the whole hospital
Discussion Better outcomes via reduced LOS Need to analyse the Model of Care – to determine Improved evaluation metrics Usefulness of the dashboard as a tool by end users Staff are using the dashboard for MOC Operational and research purposes Some better evaluation metrics could be TAT, Complications, eGFR, measures of Liver/Kidney conditions
Conclusion • The evaluation carried out showed a decrease in the Average length of stay • Feedback from clinician that dashboard helped to quickly identify patient and provide better care • Triangulation of data from different sources can provide a comprehensive view of diabetes patient journey in hospital. • Dashboard enables complex data set to be easily accessed by clinicians on one platform.
