Data Abstraction

Designation Criteria

The designation criteria provide vital information about participation in the MI AIM collaborative. Criteria change each year and are used to populate the designation scorecard at the end of the program year. Carefully review these documents to ensure you may meet all requirements for participation.

Designation Criteria and Commitment Form

Summary of Collaborative Datatypes:

MI AIM Structure Measures (Annually)

Structure measures are used to assess if standardized, evidence-based systems, protocols, and materials have been implemented for the various patient safety bundles.
- This includes data for bundle component implementation.
Data is updated once per year by each birthing hospital participating in the MI AIM collaborative.

MI AIM Process Measures (Monthly)

Process measures are used to monitor the compliance with evidence-based practices during bedside patient care.
- This includes data for the National AIM bundles - obstetric hemorrhage, severe hypertension and maternal sepsis.
Data is entered on a monthly basis by each birthing hospital participating in the MI AIM collaborative.

MI AIM Administrative Claims Outcome Measures (Annually)

Outcome measures can be used to examine changes that occur in the health of an individual, group of people, or population that can be attributed to the adoption of evidence-based clinical best practices.
- This includes data for overall severe maternal morbidity (SMM), hemorrhage-related SMM, hypertension-related SMM, and maternal sepsis.
Data is provided by MDHHS on an annual basis for all Michigan birthing hospitals. Data lag time from MDHHS is about 2 years and is uploaded to KeyMetrics by the MHA each year in January.

See the AIM Data Collection Plan (Encyclopedia of Measures) for specific information about measures within each survey type listed above. Sepsis bundle implementation and abstraction information may be found here: MI AIM Sepsis Bundle.

KeyMetrics and the MHA Community

KeyMetrics is the data collection and reporting tool used by MI AIM. The MI AIM Dashboard provides state, regional, and hospital level views for participants to understand areas of opportunity for improvement within each patient safety bundle. Additionally, a training video on how to navigate the website, enter data, and access the MI AIM Dashboard may be found on the education page. To request access, navigate to KeyMetrics and request an account from the log-in page.
The MHA Community is a collaborative space where hospitals may post questions to gain insight as to how others have implemented bundles or policies within their organization.

Please contact keystonedata@mha.org if you have questions about these systems or need help getting registered as a new user.
