Excess readmission rates result in decreased reimbursement for healthcare facilities. Additionally, feedback from patients about their hospital experience may indicate areas of improvement for healthcare facilities. This feedback is a national survey that collects data on patient experience through a standardized survey called Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS). The objective of this study is to identify significant patterns between readmission rates and HCAHPS survey data through the application of association rules.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>Publically accessible HCAHPS survey data and 30-day readmission rates provided by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) were utilized for this study.

This was typified by the recent SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and the critical knowledge and data gaps associated with novel Coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19).We sought to create an adaptive, living data mart containing detailed clinical, epidemiologic, and outcome data from COVID-19 patients in our healthcare system.

These parameters were entered on a registry featuring calculation, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language. Initially, two internal medicine residents populated the database, then professional data abstractors populated the registry. Clinical parameters were developed with input from infectious diseases and critical care physicians and using a modified COVID-19 worksheet from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Registry contents were migrated to a browser-based, metadata-driven electronic data capture software platform. Eventually, we developed queries and used various business intelligence (BI) tools which enabled us to semi-automate data ingestion of 147 clinical and outcome parameters from the EMR, via a large U.S. hospital-based, service-level, all-payer database.

We sought to create an adaptive, living registry containing detailed clinical and epidemiologic and outcome data from SARS-CoV-2-PCR-positive patients in our healthcare system. Methods: From 03/13/202 onward, demographics, comorbidities, outpatient medications, along with 75 laboratory, 2 imaging, 19 therapeutic, and 4 outcome-related parameters were manually extracted from the electronic medical record of SARS-CoV-2 positive patients. These parameters were entered on a registry featuring calculation, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language. Initially, two internal medicine residents populated the database, then professional data abstractors populated the registry. When the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases released their COVID-19 case report form for public access, we adapted it and used it on a browser-based, metadata-driven electronic data capture software platform. Statistics were performed in R and Minitab. Results: At the time of this submission, 200,807 SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR tests were performed on 107,604 distinct patients. 3699 (3.4%) of those have had positive results. Of those, 399 (11%) have had the more than 75 parameters full entered in the registry. The average follow-up period was 25 days (range 21-34 days). Age, male gender, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and cancer were associated with hospital admission (all p values < 0.01), but not ICU admission. Statin, ACEI-ARB, and acid suppressant use were associated with admission (all p values < 0.03). Obesity and history of autoimmune disease were not associated with need for admission. Supplemental oxygen, vasopressor requirement, and outpatient statin use were associated with increased mortality (all p values < 0.03). Conclusion: A living COVID-19 registry represents a mechanism to facilitate optimal sharing of data between providers, consumers, health information networks, and health plans through technology-enabled, secure-access electronic health information. Our approach also involves a diversity of new roles in the field, such as using residents, staff, and the quality department, in addition to professional data extractors and the health informatics team. However, due to the overwhelming number of infections that continues to accelerate, and the labor/time intense nature of the project, only 11% of all patients with COVID-19 had all parameters entered in the registry. Therefore, this report also offers lessons learned and discusses sustainability issues, should others wish to establish a registry. It also highlights the local and broader public health significance of the registry.","PeriodicalId":40052,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives in health information management / AHIMA, American Health Information Management Association","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62325653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
