Therap's Disability Software Offers Aggregate Incident Data to Assist in Organizational Decision Making for Improved Incident Management

WATERBURY, Conn., Jan. 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- As intellectual and developmental disability services become increasingly individual centered, and innovations in technology allow for improved real-time reporting, providers may use a Business Intelligence approach to make organizational decisions that contribute to improving the person-centered planning process. Particularly, within an incident management capacity, aggregate data offers insights into trends and consequently, recognition of factors that could impact the occurrence of number of incidents.  Data analysis presents opportunities to evaluate current policies and processes in place and assess level of compliance with state statutes and regulations.  The need to review this data at an organizational level is made all the more clear given the recent conversations surrounding lack of comprehensive compliance oversight in states highlighted in the joint report released in January 2018 jointly by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG), Administration for Community Living (ACL) and Office for Civil Rights (OCR).  

Therap's Business Intelligence tool for developmental disability service providers aggregates agency-wide data, providing real time reports for various modules. Using Therap's Business Intelligence Dashboards, providers are able to create meaningful aggregated data reports that allow reviewers to identify trends, execute quality assurance activities, and assess overall agency performance in supporting individuals. The Business Intelligence module provides the functionality of data mining and presentation of intuitive graphical dashboards allowing agencies to make data driven decisions. Identification of trends found in the data helps to evaluate overall agency-wide performance.

The Incident Report Dashboard provides the ability to identify incident/event trends at the state, provider, program type, and program levels. Providers can perform comparative analyses of variables including type, cause, severity, and location of incidents to enhance overall quality assurance and reduction of incidents. Users can generate different graphs displaying aggregate data over any number of fields. Generated graphs can be exported to Excel, PDF, CSV, and other formats. Dashboards can be customized, and users can configure their dashboard based on user preferences. Default dashboards and graph types can also be selected for easier access. Oversight providers can view information for both oversight agency and linked agencies in order to get a quick overview of the vast number of individuals provided services and measure outcomes, regulations and initiatives against the data collected at the service delivery level.
