Bloat Dsrip Upd -

As states transition from traditional fee-for-service to Value-Based Payments (VBP), DSRIP has been a critical bridge. But for many organizations, the very mechanism designed to reward innovation is now drowning in redundant metrics, legacy reporting, and “just in case” data collection.

Stop joining five tables. Pick one system as your master patient index for DSRIP. If your EHR is the source for clinical measures, do not let the billing system override it. Bloat happens when two systems argue. Pick a winner.

Look at your DSRIP project plan. Find the metrics you haven't moved the needle on in two years. If a metric has a 98% compliance rate (floor) or a 2% rate (irrelevant), stop collecting it at full frequency. Move it to a quarterly sample, not a monthly census.
