Kristin Sitcov
Executive Director Clinical Programs, Foundation for Health Care Quality
The Foundation for Health Care Quality is home to several programs dedicated to reducing variation in outcomes and improving the safety and quality of care for patients. At the core of our work is a suite of quality improvement collaboratives that use provider-specific, real-time chart-abstracted data from the medical record as the basis for analysis, benchmarking, and improvement. Members of these programs are healthcare providers and institutions that use high quality data as the backbone for high quality care.
Turning this rich, complex data into understandable and actionable information is mission critical. Working with Jeff to incorporate PowerBI into our processes has transformed the way we interrogate the database – opening up a whole new world of identifying trends and precise opportunities for change. Jeff has immersed himself in understanding the intricacies of each clinical specialty in order to build customized views that speak to their specific needs and he has supported the process of rolling this out to our members every step of the way. As we move forward with this work, we are excited to continue partnering closely with Jeff and Blue Collar BI to ensure we are maximizing our members efforts to improve and maintain the quality of care for each and every patient.
