Watch this space for the updated Data Dictionary for D2D 4.0!
AFHTO has begun the consultation process with members on what changes will occur to the Data Dictionary for D2D 4.0. Changes will be proposed based on this consultation process, and members will be asked to vote on them in May 2016, prior to the release of the updated Data Dictionary in June. To ensure that the indicators in D2D reflect what is manageable and meaningful to for member teams to collect, it is essential that our members’ voices are heard throughout process.
- Wherever possible, the definitions and data sources for these indicators are based on the Primary Care Performance Measurement Framework (PCPMF).
- There will be no change for the majority of the indicators — particularly, the ICES indicators, which are based on billing data.
A draft of Data Dictionary for D2D 4.0 will be shared with QIDS Specialists for review shortly, and the final version will be published in late June. The next release of the team level HQO Primary Care Practice Report (PCPR) will be at the end of May 2016; it will contain refreshed data, current to March 2015. We suggest teams begin the review of their PCPR data at that time, in order to prepare for D2D 4.0, launching in Fall 2016. If you have any questions regarding D2D or the Data Dictionary contact your local QIDS Specialist or the QIDS Program staff via carol.mulder@afhto.ca.
