Outcome Analytics sections
PPE Reporting's Outcome Analytics sections include:
- Hospital Acquired Conditions (HACs) analysis
- Length of Stay Utilization analysis
- Readmission analysis
- Readmission Bar Graph analysis
Hospital Acquired Conditions (HAC) analysis
The HACs Analysis section displays all hospital-acquired conditions that occurred among the report physician’s patients during the report period.
The section consists of a bar graph with one bar for each HAC that was observed.
Length of Stay Utilization analysis
The Length of Stay Utilization Analysis section lists Length of Stay measures in a table.
The section consists of a table with one row for each measure.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Measure | Name of length of stay measure. |
| # Encounters | Total number of discharges in the report period. |
| Total # Days | Total number of patient days spent for the measure. |
| Avg Days/Encounters | Total # Days (third column) divided by # Encounters (second column) |
| Benchmark | Benchmark Length of Stay value, listed as an average number of days per encounter; see Benchmark calculations for more information. |
| Opportunity |
Length of Stay opportunity A negative number in a green cell means the total length of stay was less than the benchmark by that number of days. A positive number in a red cell means that the length of stay exceeded the benchmark by that many days. See Charge & Cost Measure calculations for more information about how opportunity is calculated in Clinical Analytics. |
Readmission analysis
The Readmission Analysis Section lists readmission rates at the standard cutoffs:
-
Same Day
-
7 Day
-
10 Day
-
14 Day
-
30 Day
This section lists the readmission rates for both the report physician and the facility during the reporting period. The last column displays the values on a bar chart so you can compare them at a glance.
Readmission Bar Graph analysis
The Readmission Bar Graph Analysis Section displays a group of bar graphs for each readmission measure. The five readmission measures are:
-
Same Day
-
7 Day
-
10 Day
-
14 Day
-
30 Day
The graphs have either two or four bars for each listed measure on the x-axis:
- Blue bar – Benchmark period physician value
- Pink bar – Report period physician value
- Orange bar – Benchmark period facility value
- Teal bar – Report period facility value
