  • Details is a profiles-based section, so you can start your analysis by selecting one of your Internal Profile types from the Profile dropdown and selecting your time period of interest.
  • The Grouping Type icon appears below your profile selections as a visual reminder of the Grouping Type you selected in the Profile Customizer for your Profile of interest. or or
  • Details allows you to select from any of your Profiles in the Benchmark Profile field, so you can compare your internal data internally or externally.
  • The parameter settings of your Details section can be saved as a Details template. See Section-specific templates for more information.
  • As with most scorecard sections, you can export your data table as an Excel spreadsheet or CSV file by clicking the icons in the top right corner. See Export data for more information. Note that the Detail Charges export is only available when you are viewing patient-level data (group by Axiom Encounter ID)

  • As with other dynamic data tables in scorecards, you can move, sort by, and filter the columns in the Details table. See Table functionality for more information.
  • Click the Columns button in the top right corner to easily add or remove available columns based on the Measures and Group bys you have already selected.

When you change any of the section parameter settings, a red box appears below the menu. Click the Rerun button to run the data search again, recalculating the results according to the options you chose.

Click the dropdown arrow to select if you would like to see encounters labeled as LOS Outliers, LOS Inliers (not outliers), or both (all encounters). See LOS Outlier & Excess Days calculations for details about the LOS Outlier designation.
Not My Patient Cases

In the Clinical Case Summary for each encounter, you have the option to designate the encounter as "Not My Patient" for a given physician. This dropdown selection in Details allows you to account for those designations in your analytics.
Benchmarks

Click the dropdown arrow to select if you would like to view only encounters with benchmarks (Has), only encounters without benchmarks (Missing), or all encounters (Include All). Keep in mind that this an encounter-level filter.
Opportunity Cap

Clinical Analytics calculates the Opportunity as 100% of the difference between the benchmark and facility values. Sometimes this isn't realistic, so the Opportunity Cap allows you to specify the percentage of actionable opportunity you deem reasonable.

For example, if the Cost Opportunity is $1000, but you have an Opportunity Cap of 80%, Clinical Analytics will display the Cost Opportunity as $800.
