Where are you now?
What is your phone number at the location?
Are you alone or with someone?

do this?
 Have you attempted suicide in the past?
 Do you have voices telling you to harm or kill yourself?
Care Manager Registry
 Registries are . . .
 Simple tools to track patient progress (K.I.S.S.)
 NOT EMRs
 Best if “home-grown”
 Facilitate structured patient contacts
 Types of registries, pros and cons
 Excel file
 Web-based
Developing Registries
Things to Know
 Know your stakeholders and get their input
(purchasers, payers)
 Know your population- case mix, location
 Know your key data sources
 What is in the administrative datasets?
 Do they capture utilization?
 Know what information technologies are available
and whether they can be tailored
 Web-based patient health risk assessments
Developing Registries
Things to Know (cont.)
 Know your end users (e.g., care managers, clinic
staff, providers), including their work flow, and
ensure they can work with the registry on a day-today basis
 Know what stakeholders want in terms of
outcomes: What quality and cost measures are
they interested in, and use registry to enhance
performance measures
