Physician Profiling

While MCO's have conducted physician profiling primarily to contain costs, many hospitals now see profiling as a powerful tool to improve quality while simultaneously reducing the cost of care.
Diver's powerful integration features allow data to be gathered from all relevant sources:

  • Human resources
  • Clinical data repositories
  • Financial applications
  • Patient satisfaction survey results

These data elements can be combined to yield compelling insights. Such as, how does ALOS vary by DRG for each physician and more importantly, the depth of data to understand why this is so.

Below, analysis begins with a simple report showing ALOS and Severity by DRG for all physicians. By focusing on the longest ALOS, and adding in the physician data, we can begin to compare differences among the physicians. From here, analysts can explore the underlying reasons why different physicians may be averaging different LOS for the same DRGs. By simply "diving" deeper into the information , all aspects of the connected data can be explored, such as severity, age of the patient, complications, and secondary procedures that may have affected the LOS.
