Data Protection
According to AHRQ (2018), " Patient Safety Organizations (PSOs)
conduct activities to improve the safety and quality of patient care.
PSOs create a legally secure environment (conferring privilege and
confidentiality) where clinicians and health care organizations can
voluntarily report, aggregate, and analyze data, with the goal of
reducing the risks and hazards associated with patient care. "
NHPCO has contracted with a Patient Safety Organization, the Center
for Patient Safety (CPS), to support and monitor the data collection,
storage, and reporting of our members' clinical safety data. You can
participate with confidence that your aggregate data remains
anonymous and is protected from any misuse. The CPS PSO also offers
educational opportunities and supports our members, efforts to
prevent future adverse events.
Data Collection
Organizations should download the MOE pdf and/or the MOE csv
spreadsheet to review the data collection required to participate in the
MOE data submission and dashboard.
Meet internally with your team to determine internal roles and
responsibilities to integrate data collection into your workflows.
▌ Identify the primary individual responsible for data submission (e.g.,
QC Administrator). This individual should oversee the organization's
efforts to collect data required for quarterly MOE data submission.
▌ Determine your process for data collection: Assign data collection
roles and responsibilities to applicable staff; Determine frequency of
collection: monthly or quarterly; and Determine collection method.
▌ You can update data as many times as needed prior to the quarterly
submission deadline.
▌ You will not be able to submit data for a quarter once the deadline
for data submission has passed. Failure to submit data for a quarter
will result in gaps in your individual report and cause inaccuracies in
the comparison data.
The person in the organization responsible for MOE data submission
must have access to the organization's DART ID. The DART ID is the
NHPCO identification number assigned to your hospice. It is the same
ID you used to enter the DART system for other data collection tools.
...your aggregate data remains
anonymous and is protected
from any misuse.
