Summary: <br> Data collection is pretty easy now a days with all of the EMR options. We have plenty of data, but making it tell a story is different.<br> <br> <br> <br> Scott Mullett founder of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ATefficiency/">AT Efficiency</a> has crunched our numbers so we can show you what you can do with them.<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://twitter.com/OnTapPhysio">Daria Oller</a> has researched epidemiology and wants to help turn those numbers into actionable items so that we can change the patterns of injury.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> How our Data Collection is answering Admin Questions.<br> <br> <br> <br> Dollar Value saved the district:<br> <br> <br> <br> * Ask your stakeholders what numbers they want to see.* The cost of injury for athletes that have gone to the hospital to receive some treatment is $709* Direct cost $168,000* Indirect cost $527,000* There is not a value or cost for them not participating as they are not getting paid to play* These costs are associated with parents' missed work and transporting kids to doctors.* Who are you saving money for?* In high school, it is parents, not the district.* Only 9.9% of injuries at the Penn state campers were sent to the hospital* <a href="https://www.acacamps.org/sites/default/files/downloads/Healthy-Camp-Study-Impact-Report.pdf">Healthy Camp studies</a> show 60% of injuries go to the doctor* ADD a “requires doctor visit” button* Document people who went to the ER and the outcomes.* This could be used to help establish a chain of care to get the kids the appropriate care they need.* They increased salary due to the research from the Penn State camps<br> <br> <br> <br> Treatments per week or day or month:<br> <br> <br> <br> * Average of 300 interactions per month<br> <br> <br> <br> Does your Data Collection show preventative practices?<br> <br> <br> <br> * Add an indicator saying “prevention” to improve data collection* This may take a few years of data to see if the numbers are going up and down.* You can also compare to national research* WE NEED an incoming freshman onboarding program to prevent injuries.* Educate the coaches* 7/12 football concussions were freshman* Maybe head impact monitoring could help<br> <br> <br> <br> How debilitating are the injuries<br> <br> <br> <br> The way our data collection was set up is hard to tell.- We do have a "Requires Surgery" button but do not always click it.- We do not have a graded severity scale- We will add the "Time Loss" button to our daily treatment logs<br> <br> <br> <br> A few questions we could not answer with our Data Collection<br> <br> <br> <br> * Costs of supplies per kid for strength and conditioning versus rehab* Other services provided* Athletic Training Facility hours/visits per week in healthy versus non-healthy athletes<br> <br> <br> <br> Tips and improvements from Scott and Daria<br> <br> <br> <br> Tips from Scott: <br> <br> <br> <br> * Some of the gaps: narrow it down with preventative programs* Start small* Get little victories* Demonstrate the importance of staying healthy<br> <br> <br> <br> Tips from Daria:<br> <br> <br> <br> * Establish your goal(s).* Have clear operational definitions.* Have objective measures to quantify prevention strategies.* Look to the epidemiology literature.* Go beyond large numbers. * Consider if your documentation system is helping you capture the needed or desired variables.<br> <br> <br> <br> Watch instead on <a href="http://Facebook.com/SportsMedicineBroadcast">Facebook.com/SportsMedicineBroadcast</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> https://www.facebook.com/sportsmedicinebroadcast/videos/407100297119732/<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Contact Us<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://twitter.com/OnTapPhysio">Daria Oller</a> <br> <br> <br> <br>
