Dashboard Metrics Evaluation
Dashboard metrics are critical in healthcare as they help gauge performance's efficacy.
They evaluate the performance of patient care and enhance the results. Because healthcare firms
are keen on improving patient satisfaction and boosting performance, such dashboard indicators
have become significant. This paper evaluates the dashboard metrics for treating diabetic patients
at Mercy Medical Center. It also examines the challenges of realizing the prescribed benchmarks
and explores the impacts of underperforming benchmarks on the quality of care.
Evaluation of Dashboard Metrics
Diabetic patients' foot examinations show the slightest improvement compared to the eye
and HgbA1C, per the 2019 and 2020 Mercy Medical Center's dashboard indicators. The average
age at which diabetes is detected is 45 years (Bai et al., 2021). The slight increase in foot
examinations may explain why Shakopee has an average age lower than 44 (Class Notes, n.d.). A
foot exam spots health problems before they cause severe infection to avoid diabetes-related
issues; these measures are fundamental to complete diabetes treatment.
Although there are no particular federal, state, or municipal criteria in the data that is
currently accessible, groups like the American Diabetes Association (ADA) create standards for
diabetes treatment. For individuals with stable diabetic control, these recommendations usually
propose annual foot inspections and HgbA1c testing at least twice annually (American Diabetes
Association, 2024). Regardless of individual lipid profiles, the American Diabetes Association
(ADA) advises statin treatment for the majority of diabetic individuals due to the increased risk
of cardiovascular complications.
According to the dashboard data, the foot had the slightest improvement. The calculations
reveal a concerning trend. In 2019, MMC performed 230-foot exams and 210 HgbA1c tests on
