Vaginal Hysterectomy Cohort

The Vaginal Hysterectomy Cohort includes encounters in MS-DRG 742-743 not included in the Open Hysterectomy Cohort or the Percutaneous Hysterectomy Cohort, with any procedure code for a resection of the uterus.

To leverage this cohort:

  • Profile filters: In the Profile Editor, add the cohort as a profile filter. With this option, you can further customize the profile with additional filters.
  • Statistical Process Control: Add a Statistical Process Control section to a scorecard and select the cohort from the dropdown. Within this section, the cohort is not customizable and must be used as-is. When drilling into a chart in the SPC section, you can select to create a profile of the encounters you're drilling into so you can analyze and customize further.
