The Challenge

As the only academic health center in Oregon, this organization was faced with a unique set of opportunities for immediate improvement, including:

  • Low case mix index (CMI)
  • Decline in CC/MCC capture rate
  • Disengaged physician group
  • Lack of reliable data and monitoring
  • Insufficient CDI team resources and staff

  • Academic health center
  • 17,000+ employees
  • 1M+ annual patient visits
  • 576 total licensed beds
  • 3,400+ student enrollment

The Solution

MedeAnalytics and Oregon Health worked closely together to deploy a meaningful suite of dashboards, reports, and processes that addressed the challenges the health center was experiencing. These included:

 

ICD-10 Code Opportunities dashboard identified DRG groups with the highest opportunity to capture additional revenue

Physician-level reporting drove data-informed discussions and provided actionable insights with clear objectives

Second-level review and reporting flagged potential missed CC/MCC opportunities

Quarterly review meetings monitored physician performance against cohort data

CDI education programs for fellows spurred increased buy-in

The changes spurred by MedeAnalytics data and analytics capabilities represented a pivotal turning point for Oregon Health and Science University. As physician engagement improved, a culture of trust and transparency was built. Ultimately, this culture cultivated better patient care and greater organizational success.

Presbyterian is already working on plans to further their predictive and optimization analytics with MedeAnalytics innovative solutions.

“Actionable analytics from MedeAnalytics have been invaluable for our CDI program. We have seen measurable improvements in our CMI and CC/MCC capture rates, which have significantly augmented revenue capture.”
