How much do you know about your hospital?
By Shelley Burns
Do you know …
- How many hospital-acquired pressure ulcers you had last year?
- How much additional care, in dollars, did patients with hospital-acquired pressure ulcers require?
- What are the top three DRGs contributing to your pressure ulcers?
- Which three DRGs are the biggest losers (i.e., payment is less than cost) for your hospital?
- How much money, in total, did these three DRGs lose?
These answers and more are available in the HMC Clinical Analyzer. Take the HMC Clinical Analyzer quiz to test your skills and discover more about your hospital. Participants with 100 percent correct on the quiz will be recognized in next month’s newsletter and receive a cup of coffee (Starbucks gift card) on HMC.
Want a refresher before you take the quiz? Join us on Thursday, July 24 for a Clinical Analyzer overview.
Shelley Burns is head of knowledge management at HMC.
