NovaMark Solutions Releases How-To Guide on Building Effective Board Dashboards
NovaMark Solutions, the exclusive reseller of Covalent’s software in the North American healthcare market, today released a White Paper on building Effective Board Dashboards.
Bradenton, FL, July 08, 2010 --(PR.com)-- NovaMark Solutions, the exclusive reseller of Covalent’s software in the North American healthcare market today announced the availability of a how-to guide on building effective board dashboards published by Covalent Software, a leading provider of quality management software for healthcare institutions.
Hospital Boards now have wide ranging obligations relating to oversight of quality of care and patient safety. The Board’s responsibility for ensuring and improving care cannot be delegated to the medical staff and executive leadership; it is the Board’s job, at the very core of its fiduciary responsibility.
The good news is that direct Board involvement in quality and patient safety can actually be good for business. Research studies found that high performing hospitals were characterized by frequent review of Board dashboard content. Furthermore, better outcomes are associated with hospitals in which the Board spends more than 25% of its time on quality issues and where it receives a formal quality performance measurement report.
For many good reasons, hospital Boards are often composed of community members who may know very little about health care delivery or what constitutes quality care. Clearly they need help understanding quality of care and patient safety data.
As a result, performance dashboards have emerged as a vital tool for hospital Boards seeking to promote quality improvement within their organizations and to raise awareness of areas in which the hospital is underperforming. More than 80% of U.S. hospitals are believed to be providing formal quality performance reports to their Boards. Often these are called ‘dashboards although as we shall see, a true dashboard is something far broader and more useful than a basic performance report.
