Understand the “WHY” of CASPER Reports Its really not “WHY ME?!?!” Learn about QAPI/QI resources Deep dive into CASPER Report that you can use today!
Most folks use CASPER Reports to verify their software
Don’t forget to check the Review and Correct Reports for the new Quality Reporting Program measures (QRP/Impact Act)
Reports/HHA Maintenance/OASIS Quality Improvement And more options
Characteristics – Demographics
You can run a HHA without checking any of these reports – the surveyors will never know Would you let your Granny be a patient? Would you let your child be an employee?
A bunch of Workflow tools https://healthit.ahrq.gov/health-it-tools-and- resources/evaluation-resources/workflow- assessment-health-it-toolkit/all-workflow-tools A PDSA in action https://www.ahrq.gov/professionals/quality- patient-safety/quality-resources/tools/literacy- toolkit/healthlittoolkit2-tool2b.html
Needs hourly people Needs an energized leader who wants money saved Needs time and patience and patients Needs the grace to fail fast so they can go on to success
Three main categories
Each category has report types
time points you specify, usually now and an earlier time point
(PHI !!)
Helps you know which specific individual’s assessment is triggering the measure you are interested in Again, make sure you run for the correct “interesting” timepoints A tally report for each category Calculations (numerators and denominators) at Downloads section at the bottom of the page, one file for each category https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Quality-Initiatives-Patient- Assessment-Instruments/HomeHealthQualityInits/Home-Health- Quality-Measures.html
Depending on the report, some do not allow much resolution for the data
The most productive cycles are often very short
Don’t do a long cycle with an intent to “prove” the change concept until you are sure that the change is an improvement So CASPER reports are often left for long cycles or maintenance cycles or year-over-year checks
CASPER reports of stubborn “Improvement in Pain Interfering in Activity” led to increased OT involvement BTW – what category of measure is that? CASPER reports of unexciting “Diabetic Foot Care and Patient Education in Plan of Care” led to recruitment of podiatrist consultant BTW – category of measure is that?
Many more reports possible than we covered today HHA Trend Analysis Reports for Outcomes measures provide very helpful run charts over time
