LIMITATIONS Specific limitations
Includes only discharges sent by SPIRE (and fax for Cerner South). Discharge summaries sent by autofax are likely delivered as quickly to primary care providers as those sent via SPIRE, but transmission date information is not available for autofax. Discharge summaries sent to physicians not enrolled are not included either (except in the case of Cerner South and summaries sent by fax). Therefore overall percent of discharge summaries sent within 48 hours has to be estimated from those sent by SPIRE (and fax for Cerner South).
COMMENTS Additional information regarding the calculation, interpretation, data source, etc.
This indicator assumes that the likelihood of completing dictation and transcription is no different for summaries of patients whose primary care providers are enrolled in SPIRE than for patients whose primary care providers are not enrolled. If evidence surfaces that this is not a valid assumption, the estimate of the overall percentage can be adjusted based on the known percent of discharges sent via SPIRE and the new information about the increased/decreased likelihood of completion of non-SPIRE summaries within 48 hours. For example, if the percent of discharge summaries sent by SPIRE is 60% of all discharges and the proportion sent within 48 hours is 30% (Cerner North, May 2013) and there is no evidence to suggest that non-SPIRE discharges are dictated/transcribed any more quickly than SPIRE discharges, one can safely assume that overall, 30% discharge summaries are sent within 48 hours. However, if one assumes that non-SPIRE summaries are twice as
9 South West LHIN Balanced Scorecard Technical Specifications
likely to be completed within 48 hours, then the overall percent sent within 48 hours is more likely to be 30% of the SPIRE summaries (i.e. 60%) PLUS 60% of the non-SPIRE summaries (i.e. 40%) or 18% + 24% or 42%. In April 2014, the SPIRE summaries represented 61.9% of all discharges at Cerner North hospitals, 35.5% of Cerner South discharges (including fax and SPIRE), and 42.8% of all discharges at Meditech hospitals.

Additional information regarding the calculation, interpretation, data source, etc.
Many estimates of prevalence of pressure ulcers are generated through a point-in-time clinical survey of all patients in a hospital. These surveys, based on the work of the National Pressure Ulcer Advocacy Panel (NPUAP), have been published multiple times since 2001 (Amlung et al., 2001) and have estimated the prevalence of pressure ulcers in acute care hospitals in Canada between 12.8 and 17% (VanDenKerkhof et al., 2011) and between 2 and 29% in the USA (Salcido & Popescu, 2009). One study based on routinely collected hospital discharge abstract data in the USA estimated prevalence of pressure ulcers at 1.43% (Fogarty et al., 2009, p 679).
Both approaches to understanding the prevalence of pressure ulcers consider the presence of ulcers in all patients, regardless of the reason for their hospitalization. Both approaches therefore are consistent with the approach outlined here to include all ulcers in all hospitalizations in estimating prevalence.
However, the two different sources of data described in the literature present remarkably different rates. The rate based on clinical surveys is likely more meaningful clinically whereas the rate based on routinely collected data is more available for sustainable ongoing monitoring. The gap between the estimates highlights the differences between what the two data collection strategies are measuring and suggests that the rates are not comparable. Targets for performance measured using these technical specifications (i.e. routinely collected discharge diagnoses data) can therefore not be based on prevalence estimates based on clinical surveys.

Limited to HBAM hospitals (see above for detail). Not possible to drill down below level of HBAM component (e.g. Acute/day surgery, CCC, etc.) to understand contributing factors to changes (or lack thereof) in performance Actual cost per unit of service is calculated internally by the South West LHIN based on the hospital’s previous year’s distribution of indirect costs between HBAM components. For example, the amount of laboratory costs attributed to CCC patients divided by the direct costs for CCC patients (e.g. nursing costs) is used to determine how much laboratory costs to attribute to the quarterly total direct nursing costs for CCC to estimate the actual cost per unit of CCC service. It is possible that the allocation used to distribute indirect costs to various HBAM components in the current year is not the same as that used in the previous
25 South West LHIN Balanced Scorecard Technical Specifications
year. However, there is no current data on the distribution and this is the distribution used by MOHLTC throughout the year so it is rational to use this in these calculations.
COMMENTS Additional information regarding the calculation, interpretation, data source, etc.
The goal is to decrease the variance to achieve a ratio of 1 or less (i.e. actual cost is less than expected).

Methodology Notes from Supplemental Material for the Quarterly Stocktake Report (produced by CCO) (basis for this technical specification)
The day of ALC designation is counted as an ALC day but the date of discharge or discontinuation is not counted as an ALC day.
For cases with an ALC designation date on the last day of a reporting period and no discharge/discontinuation date, then ALC days = 1.
The ALC Rate indicator methodology makes the assumption that the Inpatient Service data element (as defined in the WTIS) is comparable to the Bed Type data element (as defined in the BCS).

General Notes on Big Dots
1) Targets for Big Dots were set in Fall 2012 based on data available at that time. 2) The following principles were used to define targets:
a. Big Dot 1: 5% increase over baseline rate of patients discharged from hospital seen by family physician within 7 days of discharge (based on most recent 4 quarters of data available as of Aug 2013: Q3 2010/11-Q2 2011/12).
b. Big Dot 2: 5% reduction from baseline rate (2011/12) in ER revisits within 7 days, per HQO and MOHLTC approach to setting targets for improvements and given that there are no other existing targets for this indicator.
c. Big Dot 3: reduction in ALC days from baseline rate (2011/12) to MLPA target, elimination of the gap between actual and expected readmission rates for selected CMGs, and 5% reduction in LOS in hip and knee surgery from baseline rate (2011/12). Note: in February 2014, the decision was made to move from ALC days to ALC rate as ALC rate includes acute and post-acute. The target, however, was not changed.
3) Progress on Big Dots is measured from Q1 2013/14 going forward since that is the time period for the IHSP initiative, which the Big Dots are intended to track the impact of.
4) Progress on Big Dots is measured as cumulative improvement over baseline performance. Baseline performance is either the MLPA baseline for 2013/14 or, if not available, the most recent 4 quarters of data available as of Apr 2013. This means that the baseline period is not the same for all components of the Big Dots. It also means that baseline will not be the performance level at the time the target was calculated. This is because changes in performance between the time the target was calculated and April 2013 should not be attributed to progress with the new IHSP because the IHSP was first launched in April 2013, not prior to that.
5) Unlike reporting on most of the other Scorecard indicators, progress on Big Dots will NOT be measured on the data available during the time period of interest but rather on the data that describe that time period. Another difference is that progress on Big Dots is cumulative over each following time period rather than being point estimates for performance at a particular time. For example, if there were 100 revisits prevented in Q1 and 250 in Q2, the progress on this Big Dot would be reported as 350 on whatever date that Q2 data were available, which could be Q4 or later.
6) The process for calculating progress on Big Dots is detailed in the following technical specifications.

ALC
The difference between the current and baseline ALC rate multiplied by the total inpatient days (not ALC days) in the current quarter. Baseline is established as the 2012/13 fiscal year.
READMISSIONS
The number of hospitalizations prevented is the difference in the gap between the expected and actual readmission rates relative to the baseline gap multiplied by the total number of index visits in the current quarter (see READMISSIONS FOR SELECTED CASE MIX GROUPS (CMGs)). Multiply the number of hospitalizations by the average LOS for these CMGs (10.8 days circa calculation of the target) to generate the number of days prevented.
(Current gap – baseline gap) * current index cases * average LOS at baseline = additional readmits prevented through improvements over baseline in readmission rate
LOS FOR HIP/KNEE TOTAL JOINT REPLACEMENTS (TJR)
The difference between the current and baseline average LOS for hip/knee TJR is multiplied by the total number of discharges for hip/knee TJR in the current quarter. Baseline will be set as the average LOS for 2012/13 when it becomes available. For interim reporting of progress (i.e. prior to availability of 2013/14 data), baseline is set as average LOS for 2011/12.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL
The number of hospitalization days prevented in a quarter is added to the days prevented in previous quarters to generate a cumulative total from baseline forwards.
