Mr. Mira recapped the presentation Dr. Deshur delivered at Practice Management 2019, Jan.17-19 in Las Vegas.
Three takeaways:
1. Dr. Deshur and his colleagues used dashboard data to determine how often practitioners failed to document arterial-line placement in a 10-month period. They discovered 16 A-line placement documentation failures per month, and a total of six C-line documentation failures.
2. The department built functionality into the AIMS that registers invasive A-line or C-line data. If documentation is still missing 30 minutes after line placement, the anesthesia provider receives a reminder. Providers who click on the popup are navigated to a place in the AIMS where they can document line placement.
3. The department has gained $15,000 in annual revenue after identifying and tracking the problem, according to Dr. Deshur.
