Clinical Insight Services
Capitalize on the Power of Clinical Benchmarking to Translate Results into Action
Business issues:
Consumers are making more informed decisions about their healthcare and
are seeking out high-quality providers. Hospitals must evaluate and improve
their clinical processes to remain competitive, asking themselves:
- Do we have the resources to identify and quantify goals and strategies for clinical performance improvement?
- Do we understand the resources that will be required to take action and improve quality?
- How can we ensure changes made to improve quality are accepted and sustained?
Facilitate change: Solucient's clinical consulting services team uses clinical data from multiple public and proprietary sources to critically measure your organization's challenges. We focus on identifying opportunities for improvement and on educating physicians and hospital leadership to foster ownership of clinical process improvement and sustainability of results.

Insight: Committed to improvement and motivated to change
The Performance Measurement Services team offered advisory and interpretive services to a hospital committed to incorporating benchmarking and comparative data into their organizational culture to prompt and motivate change. The facility was committed to using fact-based analyses to identify opportunities for improvement in clinical quality and resource utilization.
After a methodical evaluation of current performance, Solucient's Professional Services team recommended next steps. Initial analysis identified areas for improvement in both complication rates and costs per discharge. As continued follow-up, the organization can further investigate service lines and DRGs that contribute to the identified variance.
For example, the organization identified three key service lines where DRG-level analysis was necessary. From this insight, mortality, complications, practice patterns, standards of care, discharge history, readmissions and coding can be further investigated.
