Stanford Health Care

A SEAMLESS OUTCOMES DATA CAPTURE MODEL

In this video, members of a multidisciplinary team at a top-ranking specialist academic center in Northern California, USA talk about their successes and challenges while trying to capture outcomes that matter most to patients. Stanford Health Care wanted to quantify how their clinicians were performing which required an understanding about how each patient was doing following procedures. In order to effectively and efficiently collect patient-centered data, Stanford Health Care integrated outcome measures into their electronic medical record (EMR) system which allowed for more patient engagement and a wider scope of information available for clinicians. This journey has improved patient experience by reducing downtime and has enhanced clinician experience by effectively focusing on a primary complaint.
