TJC - CMS Core Measures
Need a better way to report your TJC Core Measures to your leadership
team? Does your monthly reporting process take too much time?
Nancy Keenan and I attended the NDNQI conference with a poster
on the nursing dashboard. We had crowds of people asking about the dashboard
and we raved about your great work! - Jean Dols PhD, RN
With our new TJC - CMS Core Measures dashboard in Excel, just
input your data directly into the pre-formatted data entry sheet and color
coded scorecards and a dashboard of control charts are automatically created.
This system consists of four parts:
- A pre-populated spreadsheet listing all measures and their definitions.
This sheet can be updated to meet your needs.
- A data input sheet to record your results.
- A color-coded (green, yellow, red
-- good, poor, bad) scorecard that shows how well you're performing
against targets.
- A control chart for each measurement that shows actual performance
as a graph.
Here are examples of each sheet:
