• Health Care Services Outcomes Performance Program
The Health Care Services Program measures performance by assessing each and every patient in each service area. This reporting contrasts to adverse event reporting, where only patients with an identified reportable event are reported. This mandate for patient safety “quality-of-care” standards is detailed in the outcomes data reporting requirements for each of the 9 discrete clinical service areas.
◊ Solid organ transplant Services
◊ Stem Cell and Bone Marrow Transplant Services
◊ Adult Heart Catheterization
◊ Adult Heart Surgery Services
◊ Pediatric Heart Catheterization
◊ Pediatric Heart Surgery Services
◊ Obstetric / Newborn Services
◊ Pediatic Intensive Care Services
◊ Radiation Therapy and Stereotactic Radiosurgery Services
ODH rule, OAC §3701-84-02 [PDF], requires that each of nine clinical services in all Ohio medical care facilities report according to the Health Care Services Reporting Program data collection guidelines, with annual results provided at Health Care Services Reports.
• Licensed vs Unlicensed Health Care Facility Reporting
Ohio has no reportable event program for hospitals. The reportable events for other facilities are inconsistently and variably referenced as “adverse events” and “incidents.” Facilities' reporting requirements vary so much by facility-type that it is apparent that no co-ordinated effort to track and compare these events by facility exists in Ohio. As a matter of fact, except for reporting of fires by Nursing Homes, there is no true ‘event reporting’ in Ohio. The state asks for total ANNUAL number of incidents and events and not the specific events as they occur. Therefore, for the most part, Ohio has a risk-unadjusted ‘outcome reporting’ system as part of some facility licensure requirements.
The table below lists all facilities/services with any defined general, quality assessment, or reporting requirements to the ODH.
Hospitals have a DRG reporting requirement only.
Nursing homes and the 6 types of licensed Ohio "health care facility"s and centers with linear accelerators generating radioactive materials are the only facility types with requirements to report defined outcomes or adverse events to the ODH. The defined reportable events are provided in the attached rules:
– OAC §3701-83-22
– OAC §3701-83-24
– OAC §3701-83-32
– OAC §3701-83-42
Freestanding radiation therapy centers
– OAC §3701-83-50
Freestanding mobile diagnostic imaging centers
– OAC §3701-83-55
– OAC §3701-17-12
Community Alternative Homes for Persons Having AIDS or HIV
– OAC §3701-16-18
– OAC §3701-19-07
Licensing Requirements for By-Product and Accelerator Produced Radioactive Materials
– OAC §3701:1-40-20
Deregulated Unlicensed Facilities
Hospital DRG Reporting Requirements
– OAC §3701-14-01
Among the facilities with event or outcome reporting requirements, freestanding dialysis centers have no specified reporting requirements.
