  • 518-bed main hospital
  • 72-bed orthopedic center

Perform analyses based on clinical bundles, DRG groups, hospital peer and cohort benchmarks, and physician stratification

Cultivate a culture of continuous documentation improvement and excellent clinical program performance

Leverage actionable insights to educate physicians and help them focus on gaps in care and documentation

Drill down into scorecard data and causal analysis key to performance improvement

Identify a service line (elective procedure) unique to their needs
