What Is Project DataPACT?
DataPACT turns the data already in your EHR into a monthly, provider-level care-gap report — so the right patient gets the right care, at the point of care.
Finds the gaps
Surfaces the patients who are overdue for guideline-indicated care and monitoring — before they fall through the cracks.
A monthly report from the PPS team — baseline-to-current progress on every measure — emailed to your practice manager and lead physician. No new system, nothing to build.
”
Same chart. Same visit. The report tells you who needs what — you make the call at the point of care.
HOW IT WORKS · THE DATA PATHWAY
How the Data Gets to PPS
Every metric starts as discrete data you already capture in gGastro — it flows to PPS, and comes back as your report.
1
You document
Coded diagnoses, labs, scopes & procedures (CPT), meds and visits — captured as discrete fields in gGastro.
2
Flows to the EDW
That structured data feeds the PPS data warehouse (Snowflake) automatically — no extra step for you.
3
Scored vs KPIs
Every active patient measured against guideline KPIs — a global view of your population on the PPS dashboard.
4
Report + list
Care gaps and baseline-to-current progress emailed to your practice — and PPS can pull the exact patients.
It runs on discrete data. The structured, coded fields you already enter (not free-text notes) are what PPS can see — it's the documentation you already do, it just has to land in the right field to count.
WHAT PPS MEASURES
The KPI Scoreboard
Every disease state is scored on the same four kinds of measures. Hover a category to see where it shows up.
IBDINFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE
Patient Attrition
Lab Adherence: CBC, CMP, CRP, fecal calprotectin
Colonoscopy Completion for Patients on Advanced Therapy
Advanced Therapy Treatment Rate for High-Risk Patients
Crohn's Patients on Mesalamine (lower is better)
CCM / PCM Enrollment Rate
MASLD / MASHMETABOLIC LIVER DISEASE
Patient Attrition
Lab Adherence: CBC, CMP
Elastography Completion Rate
Rezdiffra Treatment Rate
GLP-1 Treatment Rate
CCM / PCM Enrollment Rate
CirrhosisCHRONIC LIVER DISEASE
Patient Attrition
Lab Adherence: CBC, CMP, AFP, PT/INR
HCC Imaging Screening Adherence Rate
NSBB Treatment Rate for Varices
Hepatic Encephalopathy Treatment Rate
CCM / PCM Enrollment Rate
EoEEOSINOPHILIC ESOPHAGITIS
Patient Attrition
Follow-Up EGD after Initiation of Therapy
Timing of Follow-Up EGD after Initiation of Therapy
From the PPS Quality of Care Initiatives program materials. One nuance to teach: Crohn's on mesalamine is the one measure where lower is better — it comes back in the DFW spotlight.
AT THE POINT OF CARE
The Pathways Live Where You Work
The pathways live in the gGastro links menu — a ready reference, one click from any chart.
1
Click Refs — the globe button — from any chart to open the pathways menu.
2
Evidence-based pathways for all four disease states in one place — plus FIB-4 and the IBD guides.
!
A reference, not an integration — a “poster on the wall” in gGastro. It's there when you look; it won't prompt you on its own.
✓
So knowing the KPIs matters — that's what today is for. And PPS can hand you the list of patients falling through the cracks.

THE EVIDENCE
The Pilot Proved It
A pilot used a novel IBD dashboard in PPS Analytics to assess real-time practice performance across six community-based GI practices in four states — representing 9,000+ active IBD patients.

0%
reduction in patient attrition

0%
increase in fecal calprotectin testing

…and it established the national baseline of care expectations for community-based GI practices — the yardstick every DataPACT report now uses.

PPS ANALYTICS · ON DEMAND
Ask PPS for the List
PPS Analytics can slice your population eight different ways — so the answer to “which patients?” is one ask away. You never build the list.
Appointments
Recalls
Medications
Procedures
Labs
Imaging
Provider
Insurance
REAL PULLS PPS CAN HAND YOU
Patients without a return appointment scheduled
Age 45+ with no colonoscopy
Patients with overdue recalls
Lab trends — e.g. rising fecal calprotectin or CRP
Medication trends — e.g. 2+ biologics on the med list
Infusion patients to track
Diagnostic & therapeutic candidates per disease state
Research — clinical-trial candidates
The monthly report says how you're doing — these pulls tell you exactly who to call.
PUTTING IT INTO ACTION
Where You Turn Data Into Care
The report lands with your manager — and PPS can pull the exact patients falling through the cracks. Three moves, all at the point of care.
1
Reengage
Bring lapsed patients back for the annual visit — and the overdue scope that comes with it.
2
Close the gaps
Order the calprotectin, CRP and labs. Schedule surveillance. Enroll eligible patients in CCM.
3
Right therapy
Get high-risk patients on advanced therapy. Step Crohn's off ineffective 5-ASA. The pathway guides the call.
IT ALREADY WORKS0
captured services from reengagement in our first live division — visits, colonoscopies, EGDs and elastography — with no added physician work.
THE ASK
You Are Where Data Becomes Care
GIA has the tool. DataPACT is already finding your care gaps — every month, in the chart you already use.
Work the list. The report says who — the pathway, one click away, says what.
Get involved. Ask for your practice’s report — and put your hand up to champion DataPACT at your site.
Better care.Stronger practices.No guesswork.
