Comparative Reports

NRCPR provides quarterly and annual comparative reports to participating facilities. These reports are comprehensive packages that describe resuscitation events, processes of care and patient outcomes. The participant reports compare a participant�s data with data from an appropriate peer group, and assist in identifying opportunities for improvements in resuscitation practice. Reports are based both on data submitted during the quarter and on previously submitted data. Selected reports separate patients less than eighteen years old from older patients.

Report Benefits For Your Facility

Each report has individual benefits. However, when used as a group, the NRCPR participant reports become a powerful means of improving process of care and patient outcomes. Some reports focus on processes, others on outcomes, and still others provide descriptive information (incidence of events, etc.). Using these different types of reports together enables an institution to more effectively evaluate and monitor resuscitation practice, identify opportunities for improvement, and optimize staff training and resource allocation.

The following is an example of how these reports could be used:

You notice in the Gold Process Variables Report the median response interval in the delivery of Epinephrine is long, and in the Process of Care Exceptions Report there is an unusually high percentage of cases where the time for administration of IV/IO Epinephrine exceeds NRCPR practice guidelines. As a result of this data indicating an inappropriate response, you assign a performance improvement team to identify the root cause of the problem, design and then implement an improvement process. Subsequent NRCPR reports could help determine if the desired results have been obtained.
