Purpose
To demonstrate the utility of Tableau® Dashboard to
represent data driven recommendations for transitions of
care (TOC) to post-acute care (PAC) settings
Materials
The Advocate Cerner Collaboration team created the TOC
Model, which provides decision support for the post-acute
Displays average readmission risk and rate over time in order to allow users to visualize
transition of care by recommending one of five settings:
circumstances under which the readmission rate was greater than the readmission risk
Conclusions
• As data are increasingly collected electronically, health care systems have greater access with which to better understand the populations
they serve
• Those working in health care technology are tasked with reporting information in a universally accessible way in order to provide
meaningful insights to all users
