Physician-specific sections
Physician-specific sections in PPE Reporting consist of:
- Coding Analytics: Secondary diagnoses
- Consultant Use analysis
- Patient Type analysis
- Physician Role analysis
- Simple report
Coding Analytics: Secondary diagnoses
Similar to Coding Analytics in scorecards, this section shows potential opportunities in the documentation and coding of secondary diagnosis codes.
Report settings help users focus on over- or under-coding, while also reporting on Major Complication or Comorbidity (MCC), Complication or Comorbidity (CC), or No MCC/CC diagnosis codes.
MS-DRG Clusters can be filtered or selected by highest volume.
Consultant Use analysis
The Consultant Use Analysis section shows how often the report physician consulted with other physicians.
The section lists the consulting physicians associated with the report physician's cases, along with specialties and numbers of cases.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Consultant | Consulting Physician's name. |
| Specialty | Consulting Physician's specialty. |
| Number of Cases | Number of cases in which the Consulting Physician helped the Report Physician. |
Patient Type analysis
The Patient Type Analysis section lists five encounter types and the number of encounters of each type seen by the Report Physician.
Encounter types consist of:
-
Inpatient
-
Observation
-
Emergency
-
Outpatient Diagnostic
-
Ambulatory Surgery
When you add the Patient Type Analysis section to your PPE report, no customization options are available.
This report includes the encounter types and the volume of encounters for each.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Encounter Type | One row for each encounter type: Inpatient, Observation, Emergency, Outpatient Diagnostic, and Ambulatory Surgery |
| Number of Cases | Number of encounters of the specific type associated with the Report Physician during the report period |
Physician Role analysis
The Physician Role Analysis section shows the report physician’s roles for the cases with which they were involved.
The table lists the number of cases for each role type.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Physician Role | Each row lists a role type (for example, Operating, Attending, Consulting, and so on). |
| Hospital Average | Hospital-wide physician average number of cases in each role. |
| Physician | Number of encounters in which the report physician performed that role. |
You have the option to view a physician's roles by facility in the Physician Role Analysis section. The default is to view the volume breakdown of each role for all facilities together. You can also unroll the facilities by selecting the Unroll By Facility option while customizing your PPE report.
Simple report
The Simple report is a summary physician report that displays many measures on a 1-2 page format.
This section contains blocks that you can add and customize to meet your needs. You can also select internal or external benchmarks for each individual block. Colors help you identify where opportunities exist and where the physician performed better than the benchmark.
