Annual Data analysis schedule: Benchmark Area #2: Child Injuries; Child Abuse, Neglect or Maltreatment; and Reduction of Emergency Department Visits Construct 2.2 Visits of mothers to the emergency department from all causes Performance Measure Among all enrolled mothers, number of visits to the emergency department in their first year of services (for those enrolled pregnant, in the 1st year postpartum) per 1000 enrolled mothers. Operational definition Enrolled mothers Target population: Number of visits to an emergency department by all enrolled mothers in their first year of services (for Numerator: those enrolled before birth, in the 1st year postpartum), per cohort year Number of enrolled mothers whose remain in services for at least a year (or if enrolled pregnant Denominator: until 1 year postpartum) per cohort year Fraction multiplied by 1,000 to obtain rate per 1,000 mothers. Notes: Criterion for improvement Enrolled mothers in the second year cohorts will have a lower rate of ED visits as compared to the program’s mothers enrolled in the first year cohort. Data source/justification for All models: self-report. This measure is a programmatic indicator that will be presumed to improve slightly over measure time, and that will assist in programmatic CQI efforts. This measure will take about two years from program onset to assess for the first year cohort for those families who enroll pregnant.
