ASPIRE is a web-based dashboard
that documents quality and safety goals for all VA Hospitals. This data
shows strengths and opportunities for improvement at the national,
regional and local hospital level. ASPIRE data supports the VA's mission
of a continuous health care improvement program to provide the best
possible care to Veterans. The database lists many "measures" and our
goal for each measure. The data shows "where we are" in comparison to
where we want to be. A simple example would be for blood pressure
management. The goal for all veterans age 18-85 with high blood pressure
is to have blood pressure readings less than 140/90. This measure shows
the percentage of Veterans meeting that blood pressure goal. Please use
the glossary of terms for an explanation of the measurements.
The ASPIRE dashboard is a work in progress. The data in the dashboard
will be updated on a regular basis. Measures currently on the dashboard
that lack values or results will be updated as the data becomes
available. New measures will also be added to future dashboard versions
as important targets for improvement emerge.

| VA's Linking information Knowledge and Systems
(LinKS) is a dashboard that documents outcome measures for
acute care, ICU, outpatient , safety and annual measures. This data
shows strengths and opportunities for improvement at the national,
regional and local hospital levels. LinKS supports the VA mission to
provide the best possible care to the Veterans. The dashboard shows what
we are measuring and our result. A simple example would be for smoking.
We measure the percentage of veterans that smoke and what we've done to
help them stop smoking such as smoking cessation classes, counseling or
medication to help them quit. Please use the glossary of terms for an
explanation of the measurements. The data will be updated on a
regular basis. |
