Learning Objectives:

Be able to describe how the data for Kaiser Permanente's IPV metric is gathered from automated systems.
Be able to describe how the IPV metric is calculated.
Be able to describe how the metric can be used to assess and drive operational improvements aimed at increasing IPV identification.

Description:
Kaiser Permanente Northern California, a large (3.2M members), integrated healthcare system made up of several medical centers, uses automated systems to track identification of intimate partner violence among patients. This metric allows ongoing assessment of the effectiveness of operational changes aimed at improving IPV identification. A detailed description of data collection and metric calculation will be provided. The presenters will share how one medical center used the metric to go from one of the lowest performers to consistently the best.
