It’s almost time to “do” D2D again! D2D is about continuous measurement for continuous improvement. Once is not enough. Think about starting conversations about D2D 5.0 now and begin compiling your data. The Data Dictionary, Step-by-Step Guide, and Data Input Toolkit have all been updated for D2D 5.0. Speaking of continuous improvement, find out what’s new with D2D 5.0! Check out these posts on follow-up after hospitalization and individualized HbA1C targets. Find information about how and why you might want to “unmask” your data to your peers, complete a team profile questionnaire, and submit site or FHO-specific data. Want to know the trick to improvement? Who doesn’t??! Please consider volunteering to be part of AFHTO’s QI enablers study to help us all understand what makes it easier for teams to improve. Save the date: Interprofessional Medication Management workshop. Mark your calendar for November 17th, 2017 for a full-day session showing how everyone (clinicians, QIDSS, patients) can contribute to managing (and maybe even eliminating the need for) medications. It’s for all team members —not just prescribers and pharmacists. Watch this space for more information. Quarterly Reporting got you down? You may have to live with that for this year but next year, think about using the Program Performance Measures Catalogue. It will help you find indicators that make more sense to you and are easier to collect. You can help yourself even more by sending us your completed Schedule A template now.
