Section 6000.983 - Use of incident data(a) HCSIS produces a set of standardized online reports that are available to providers/entities, counties and OMR. In addition to the online reports, providers and counties may request an electronic extract of incident management data through HCSIS.(b) To assure effective quality and risk management processes, data is collected, aggregated, analyzed and utilized to make improvement decisions. Data and information in HCSIS are to be continuously, as well as systemically, assessed and analyzed by those individuals responsible for risk management, a risk management group or a risk management committee. The responsibility is to review a representative sample of individual incidents for information about the events, the response to the incident including timeliness, thoroughness and the appropriateness of the corrective actions. This responsibility also includes analysis of data and information using standardized methodology and processes. There are a variety of quality management tools for analysis and trending. These tools assist in either defining, analyzing and preventing incidents or in sustaining improvements already implemented. OMR has begun to conduct training introducing some of these quality management tools and to demonstrate how to use them effectively. The outcome of this assessment and analysis process is to identify strategies for prevention.
