Detail and Definitions

Valid “Score Type” selections are; Overall Score, Cost, Utilization, Quality, PMPM, % Level 4/5, ER Visits Per 1000, Prevention (%), Admissions per 1000, Readmissions Rate (%), ALOS, Paid/Claim, Paid/Admit, Lab/Radiology, Avoidable ER Visits, and Complications.  This is a single-select drop down control.  Statistics are a rollup of the individual statistics of the providers associated with the selected group.

 

Clinigence Health uses a proprietary scoring system to calculate the provider ranking and Percentile Rank:

  • Categories are:   Cost, Utilization, Quality, Prevention, Pharmacy
  • Some of the sub-categories are specific to the specialty.
  • Cost and Utilization categories are patient risk adjusted.  This means that if a provider’s patients have a higher average risk score than the other providers in the same specialty/panel size, this will be weighed in the scoring.

 

Clinigence Health calculates provider ranking by:

  • Provider Groups are ranked by the individual calculated PCP calculations.
  • The Provider Group with the highest average scoring of individual PCP’s has a ranking of 1.
  • Percentile Rank shows ranking by percentile of the Provider Groups within the peer groups.

 

The header information shown at the top of the screen are calculated values for the subject group that was derived from the criteria selected by the user.  

 

Provider Groups (within the selection group) are shown on the left side of the screen with the default sort being provider group overall ranking (high to low).  A specific Provider Group Performance Report can be accessed by clicking on the hot linked provider group name (in blue font).  Each provider group in the selection group is represented in the scatter chart in the center of the screen.  The Y axis reflects performance, and the X axis shows PMPM.  The solid lines represent the average, and the dotted lines represent a standard deviation.  Each provider group is represented by a bubble on the scatter plot.  Pausing over a bubble will present identification information for that provider.
