Examples of Hospital Administrator metrics and KPIs

Metrics for Infection Prevention Strategies

  • 1. Infection Rate

    The percentage of patients who acquire an infection as a result of medical treatment. It is calculated by the number of infections divided by the number of procedures performed, multiplied by 100.

    What good looks like for this metric: Typically below 2%

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Enhance sterilisation protocols
    • Implement hand hygiene training
    • Conduct regular infection control audits
    • Limiting patient exposure to infection sources
    • Improve personal protective equipment usage

  • 2. Hand Hygiene Compliance Rate

    The percentage of healthcare workers who follow hand hygiene protocols. It is assessed through observations and audits.

    What good looks like for this metric: 85% or higher

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Provide hand hygiene training sessions
    • Increase availability of hand sanitiser stations
    • Use reminders and visual cues for hand hygiene
    • Monitor compliance and give feedback
    • Incorporate hand hygiene protocols in daily huddles

  • 3. Surgical Site Infection Rate (SSI)

    The percentage of infections at surgical sites relative to the total number of surgeries performed.

    What good looks like for this metric: Typically less than 1.5%

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Optimize preoperative patient preparation
    • Use appropriate antibiotic prophylaxis
    • Maintain sterile surgical environments
    • Educate staff on proper wound care techniques
    • Monitor and review infection control practices

  • 4. Equipment Sterilisation Compliance Rate

    The percentage of medical equipment that is sterilised according to standards.

    What good looks like for this metric: Greater than 95%

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Regularly train staff on sterilisation techniques
    • Conduct routine checks of sterilisation equipment
    • Log sterilisation dates and times
    • Replace faulty or outdated equipment
    • Implement a double-check system

  • 5. Hospital-Acquired Infection (HAI) Incidence Rate

    The number of hospital-acquired infections per 1,000 patient bed days.

    What good looks like for this metric: Usually below 2 infections per 1,000 bed days

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Enhance environmental cleaning routines
    • Review and update infection control policies
    • Train staff on early infection detection
    • Enhance patient education about infection prevention
    • Implement isolation protocols for infectious cases

Metrics for History and Physical Completion

  • 1. Completion Rate

    The percentage of history and physical exams completed within 24 hours of patient admission

    What good looks like for this metric: 90-95%

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Implement a reminder system for staff
    • Introduce electronic health record alerts
    • Provide training for efficient documentation
    • Increase staffing during peak admission times
    • Encourage early initiation of assessments

  • 2. Average Completion Time

    The average time taken to complete history and physical exams after patient admission

    What good looks like for this metric: Under 24 hours

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Streamline documentation processes
    • Utilise checklists for thoroughness and speed
    • Cross-train staff for flexibility
    • Optimise patient flow and prioritisation
    • Regularly review and address bottlenecks

  • 3. Staff Compliance Rate

    The percentage of staff adhering to the completion protocol for history and physical exams

    What good looks like for this metric: Above 90%

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Conduct routine compliance audits
    • Offer incentives for high compliance
    • Provide feedback on performance
    • Strengthen compliance policies
    • Ensure clarity in protocols and guidelines

  • 4. Patient Outcome Correlation

    The link between timely completion of history and physical exams and patient outcomes

    What good looks like for this metric: Positive correlation

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Analyse correlations with patient recovery times
    • Adjust practices based on outcome data
    • Focus on accuracy and completeness in assessments
    • Regularly reassess assessment procedures
    • Align protocols with best practices

  • 5. Error Rate in Documentation

    The frequency of errors found in the completed history and physical exams

    What good looks like for this metric: Below 5%

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Enhance staff training on documentation
    • Introduce a peer review process
    • Use electronic templates to minimise errors
    • Implement regular quality checks
    • Increase awareness of common documentation errors
