Wisconsin PATH ALONG Model Analytics To Benefit The Community

The Wisconsin PATH ALONG model simplifies care transitions and connects inpatient and outpatient individuals to supportive care in the community.  This is increasingly important with the proliferation of outpatient day surgery that eliminates the over night recovery period in the hospital.  Families are being encouraged to recover in the home setting on their own schedule with the help of a supportive (www.homecarepath.com) care service. 

The Wisconsin landscape with rural residence can present a challenge for the Health Care Centers (hospital and outpatient delivery locations) who discharge patients throughout each day.  The Health Care Centers process for referring supportive care service is in transition.  Facility walls no longer contain the informative brochures a family needing help could use to coordinate supportive care service. 

Wisconsin's PATH ALONG model is evidence based and consistently reviewing operative information to improve process and keep community members safe.  A simple example is how PATH ALONG data could be reviewed to make suggestions to improve the referral needs with an  outpatient procedural discharge.

1. Aggregated post outpatient procedural services information
2. Evaluate most similar tasks with median time
3. Bundle similar tasks with median time to communicate common supportive care need
4. For Health Care Center referral planning

This helps the outpatient providers better understand the type of tasks and time needed with sending the patient home from the Health Care Center.  This can improve the patients out come and prevent a re-hospitalization.  This is written to give the reader a clear sense of how data is being leveraged throughout he health care system to improve patient care in the community.
