WPCN
• Westview Primary Care Network
• a Joint-Venture between the WPC-NPC and Alberta Health Services
WESTVIEW
Context
Provincial
• PCN Evolution and Alberta’s “Primary Health Care
Strategy” emphasize
evaluation as a priority for family physicians.
• No system framework has been proposed, nor is there an inventory of necessary resources to enable
evaluation, performance measurement or reporting.
Local
• Westview PCN developed processes to identify physician panels in 2008 • Proactive care, screening and
prevention are identified as an important part of panel
management.
• Panel Management has been facilitated by Proactive Office
Encounter Technicians (POETs) – a role created by and introduced to the Westview PCN in 2010.
The WPC
Panel Management, Performance Measurement
and Reporting (PM
2R) Initiative
Objective 1
• To identify some of the
essential elements
required when using
practice-based data for
primary health care
evaluation
Objective 2
• To examine the
effectiveness of the POET
role/intervention in
screening and prevention,
as a component of panel
management

Results - Objective 1 - Essential Infrastructure:
1. a technical (IT) solution
2. adherence to data stewardship principles, and a
3. quality improvement framework based on “meaningful
use”
were ALL required in the development of the information
management infrastructure and this PM
2R system

Panel Management, Performance Measurement and
Reporting (PM

Results - Objective 1 - Essential Infrastructure:
1. IT Data Sharing Platform:
– WPC server (separate from the WPCN server)
– IT process to migrate “core” data elements from EMR to WPC server – Algorithms to extract specific data
elements of panel (for ASaP manoeuvers) from WPC “core” data base Notes: • IT=Information Technology • WPC=Westview Physician Collaborative • WPCN=Westview PCN • EMR=Electronic Medical Record

2. Protection of Patient Health
Information (EMR Data):
• Data Governance Structure
– ISA between sentinel physician & WPC-NPC;
– Data Governance by WPC-NPC • Privacy Protection & Data
Stewardship – OIPC-approved PIA Notes: • EMR=Electronic Medical Record • ISA=Information Sharing Agreement
• NPC=Not for Profit Corporation
• OIPC=Office of Information & Privacy Commissioner
• PIA=Privacy Impact Assessment

Results - Objective 1 - Essential Infrastructure:
3. Quality Improvement Framework:
• Identified EMR accessible data
elements from the “current state” but expanding universe of process and outcome indicators and primary care performance indicators
• Data elements reflect principles of “meaningful use” i.e. their use will improve population and public health
Notes:
• see current state WPC menu of 27 primary health care indicators
• includes ASaP “data set” • indicators are periodically
reviewed and updated as new information—scientific,

Methods - Objective 2 - POET Effectiveness:
• A retrospective analysis using the developed information
management infrastructure to examine the success of
screening manoeuvers in three phases:
1. baseline standard of care pre-POET;
2. in the early POET implementation phase; and
3. the “mature” phase of POET-facilitated panel
