2022 Stronger - P148 - Expected Mortality takes Two to Tango: Documentation and Coding - On Demand
At SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital, we realized that even though we were treating a significantly sicker patient population in our community, each patient’s severity of illness was not being precisely reflected in our expected mortality (EM). The present-on-admission (POA) risk variable documentation project was designed to help our physician leaders understand the impact of mortality model groups, as well as their associated risk variables, on EM. We implemented a workflow to optimize the POA capture rate for two of our highest mortality indices service lines, resulting in notable mortality index reduction.
Target Audience
- Healthcare Quality Professionals
- Nurses
- Physicians
- Other Healthcare Professionals
Learning Objectives
Identify service line-specific mortality risk variables with the highest impact.
Describe strategies to create efficient workflows that will help improve expected mortality.
