Measuring Clinically Effective Care

Measuring Clinically Effective Care

Data from Pediatric Health Information System® (PHIS) can be used to benchmark tests and procedures that do not add value or improve outcomes for patients with certain conditions.

Children’s hospitals must balance the need for tests and treatments with the financial, emotional, and physical consequences of health care services that aren’t beneficial to patients and families.

Data from Children's Hospital Association's (CHA) Pediatric Health Information System® (PHIS) can be used to benchmark tests and procedures that do not add value or improve outcomes for patients with certain conditions.

PHIS offers a Tableau-powered dashboard that lets you easily visualize and compare your hospital’s:

  • Proportion of inpatient/observation and emergency department encounters in which clinically ineffective care occurs.
  • Costs associated with clinically ineffective care.
  • Trending performance data.
  • Peer benchmarks.

Dashboard insights help executives, clinical leaders, and analysts identify opportunities for change within hospitals to align value with clinical care. Navigation is simple, easy, and intuitive, even for those with little data reporting experience.
