To do that, they must decide what data to collect, how to collect it, and how to communicate it to help physicians improve performance. HCPro's new book: 10 Steps to Successful Physician Profiling: How to Achieve Excellent Physician Performance, shows how to create and use "physician performance feedback reports," a tool that makes it easier to communicate meaningful data to physicians, to help them change their behavior. Customizable CD-ROM included: 10 Steps to Successful Physician Profiling: How to Achieve Excellent Physician Performance comes with a customizable color-coded physician performance report. The CD-ROM consolidates collected data - from clinical quality, service quality, and activity to resource utilization and even peer relationships - and creates a functional color display so physicians can easily see where they need to improve. Pre-calculated formulas show performance trends and help communicate to physicians where they rank in comparison to their peers

This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patient-centered, high-quality health care relies on the well-being, health, and safety of health care clinicians. However, alarmingly high rates of clinician burnout in the United States are detrimental to the quality of care being provided, harmful to individuals in the workforce, and costly. It is important to take a systemic approach to address burnout that focuses on the structure, organization, and culture of health care. Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout: A Systems Approach to Professional Well-Being builds upon two groundbreaking reports from the past twenty years, To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System and Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century, which both called attention to the issues around patient safety and quality of care. This report explores the extent, consequences, and contributing factors of clinician burnout and provides a framework for a systems approach to clinician burnout and professional well-being, a research agenda to advance clinician well-being, and recommendations for the field.
