The balanced scorecard of an Ontario hospital system measures the success of emergency departments across multiple categories. It examines financial performance and human resource productivity, patient satisfaction through surveys on care received, clinical outcomes like return visit rates, and system integration through use of technology and standardized protocols. Comparing results across hospitals identifies best practices to improve patient outcomes and experiences.

Example of a Hospital's Balanced Scorecard
Providing care in a hospital emergency department is fast-paced and physically
demanding and draws upon a multitude of technologies and interpersonal skills. Here is a sampling from the balanced scorecard of the Ontario hospital systemthat measures success in the delivery of health care by their emergency departments. The scorecards compare patient outcomes in the various hospitals to discover best practices that can be used to improve patient outcomes and experiences. 1. Financial Performance and Condition - Human resource productivity indicators % of management and operational support hours % of registered nurse hours % total worked hours 2. Patient Satisfaction - Service and relationships indicators Overall Impressions - How was the hospital stay viewed Communication - How well was information communicated with the patient and the family Consideration - Whether the patient and family were treated with respect by doctors, nurses, and other staff Responsiveness - The amount of time they waited to see doctors or nurses and receive test results 3. Clinical Utilization and Outcomes - Clinical performance indicators Return visit rate for ankle or foot injury patients <=7 days Return visit rate for asthma <=24 hours (adults) Return visit rate for asthma 24-72 hours (adults) Return visit rate for asthma 0-72 hours pediatrics 4. System Integration and Change - Management of change indicators Clinical data collection and dissemination Internal coordination of care Use of clinical information technology Use of standardized protocols Healthy work environment
