Carondelet will submit data from AzHQ (described above) as well as data from internal sources, to Ascension Health’s National Access Outcomes Measurement Initiative (NAOMI) for benchmarking purposes.
Ascension Health’s focus for NAOMI includes measures for three chronic diseases: asthma, diabetes and hypertension. In addition, NAOMI’s key indicators will identify service gaps and also support strategic planning efforts for uninsured, underinsured and underserved patients. The goals for NAOMI include the development of best practices and quality improvement based on utilization of collected outcomes measurement data from Ascension Health ministries across the nation.
