Monitor epidemiology and measure of success
Milestone
By completing this task, you will have:
- A list of clearly defined and measurable metrics that represent your measure of success
- A clear pathway and timelines for data extraction and analysis
- Ad hoc tools like surveys or audits to be done by allocated person(s) e.g., the Core Team, other Staff members, PRO’s.
- Filled in the specific slides in the project deck
Guidance
Recap: In Stage 1 – You identified your main point of contact: to access your hospital database. So, to reliably quantify the target populations, set the baseline of your current population and be able to measure the impact of the new pathways of care.
Aim & Objective: Define the measure of success. If you are unable to access the clinical data from your institution – you need to determine how to measure the outcomes of your intervention/s.
Method: It’s difficult to show any improvements without a baseline comparison or a reliable source of data & metrics. You can create a dedicated registry e.g. CaReMe Registry.
Setting
- Self-brainstorming session
- Engage and work with the Core Team
- Consider implementing tools like surveys and audits, to collect information for your own clinic.
