Mission Health trauma services provide evidence-based care. Despite its efforts to measure the impact of this care on outcomes, the overwhelming burden of manual data review limited its ability to effectively monitor key process measures in a timely manner. This prompted Mission to use data and analytics for timely insights into injury-specific process measure performance and concurrent chart review to improve trauma care.

Featured Outcomes

4.4 percent mortality rate for patients with a traumatic spleen injury, well below the 7 to 18 percent national average.
3.8 percent mortality rate for patients with a rib fracture, well below the 10 percent national average.
$1.06 million annual savings, the result of a 17.5 percent relative decrease in average length of stay (LOS).

Actionable Analytics Enables Improved Care, Reduced LOS, and Costs in Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury

To provide high-quality, cost-effective care to patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), Mission Health needed insight into individual patient and provider performance data.
