Mortality-and-morbidity reviewer must resolve whether a readmissions program

Situation

Mortality-and-morbidity reviewer in a unit with a new early-warning model has one working extract — quality-measure abstraction disagreements — after three weekend deaths that look similar on first read. If quality-measure abstraction disagreements cannot support a readmissions program is, the honest Healthcare output is hold.

Decision

Mortality-and-morbidity reviewer in a unit with a new early-warning model must choose Proceed under protocol / Pause the pathway / Escalate safety review / Hold using quality-measure abstraction disagreements after three weekend deaths that look similar on first read.

Hypotheses to test

• Three weekend deaths that look similar on first read is noise around an already-controlled Alerts and Bundles process in a unit with a new early-warning model, given quality-measure abstraction disagreements.
• Three weekend deaths that look similar on first read is the event in quality-measure abstraction disagreements that forces Proceed under protocol for mortality-and-morbidity reviewer under Healthcare.
• Quality-measure abstraction disagreements shows a one-file miss after three weekend deaths that look similar on first read, not a Alerts and Bundles program failure.
• Quality-measure abstraction disagreements cannot decide a readmissions program is yet after three weekend deaths that look similar on first read; hold is the only Healthcare close a unit with a new early-warning model can defend.

Analysis required

• Assess patient-safety and HIPAA / minimum-necessary implications of a readmissions program is.
• Quantify who is harmed if quality-measure abstraction disagreements is wrong.
• Separate a documented exception from an OCR-relevant gap in a unit with a new early-warning model.
• For this Healthcare Alerts and Bundles file, read quality-measure abstraction disagreements against three weekend deaths that look similar on first read and write the one fact that would move a readmissions program is for mortality-and-morbidity reviewer.

Recommendation

Choose Proceed under protocol / Pause the pathway / Escalate safety review / Hold on this Healthcare / Alerts and Bundles packet (quality-measure abstraction disagreements after three weekend deaths that look similar on first read). The follow-on Alerts and Bundles action is what mortality-and-morbidity reviewer does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
