Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Measuring ROI in Healthcare: Tools and Techniques to Measure the Impact and ROI in Healthcare Improvement Projects and Programs AB - Most healthcare project sponsors regard business impact data as the most important data type because of its connection to business success. Patient outcomes, patient revenue, patient safety, operational efficiency, length of stay, and patient satisfaction are some of the most important impact data found in the healthcare industry. Top executives rate impact data as their number one category for data from performance improvement projects. For many projects, inadequate performance in business measures (the business need) is usually what initiated a particular project. For example, adverse patient outcomes drive a healthcare improvement project to improve outcomes. Improvement is needed to either meet existing needs, or to improve the anticipated future state. Business impact data taken from a follow-up after the project is implemented to close the loop by showing a project's success in meeting the business needs. This chapter examines a variety of business impact measures and the specific method to collect the measures within a project.
