Benchmarking and Best Practice Services
|
|
Compare is a group of services developed by ACMA to provide benchmarking and best-practice identification and education. Compare offers subscription benchmarking for some of the most important metrics in efficient health care delivery: avoidable delays, readmissions, and denials.
Compare services are available by subscription. Subscribing hospitals and health systems are able to implement and use any or all of the benchmarking services. This improves tracking of these metrics, provides rich and detailed benchmarking, and gives the subscribing hospital access to best practice educational webinars.
If you are interested in becoming a Compare subscriber and would like to learn more, or request a system demo, please contact Randall Archer, Director of Sales and Product Development for ACMA Compare at rarcher@acmaweb.org.

Rehabilitation Center Intervention Focuses on Reducing Avoidable Rehospitalizations Among Seniors

A new study from Hebrew Rehabilitation Center (HRC), an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, demonstrates improvements in discharge disposition following a three-pronged intervention that combines standardized admission templates, palliative care consultations, and root-cause-analysis conferences.
The study, published in the June issue of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, compared patients’ discharge disposition from HRC’s Recuperative Services Unit (RSU) in Boston, a skilled nursing facility, before and after implementation of the intervention. The rate of patient rehospitalization fell from 16.5% to 13.3%, a decrease of nearly 20%. Discharges to home increased from 68.6% to 73.0%, and discharges to long-term care dropped to 11.5% from 13.8% - read more...
