With MedData’s benchmarking data you have a powerful strategic management tool at your fingertips. We give you reports that not only compare your physicians internally; but also with groups that are comparable in terms of patient acuity. This allows your group to develop plans on how to make improvements or adopt best practices.
As an example, the following chart demonstrates the substantial variation in elapsed treatment times by physician. The difference between the fastest and slowest was 40 minutes for admitted patients (a 21% difference) and 29 minutes for discharged patients (a 23% difference)
A number of questions arise from the analysis of these differences. Are the fastest and slowest physicians generating similar or different charges per patient? Is compensation related to the productivity of the physicians? Can the fastest physician impart any tips on how the slower physicians can do better? |

So using this chart above, MedData can also give you an analysis of 1.7 million patient visits, which found the following “best in class” throughput times for admitted patients: |

Admit Rate* |
Best in Class for Admitted Patients |
Best in Class for Discharged Patients |
11% |
154 minutes |
94 minutes |

*Admit rate is defined as the number of patients actually seen by and ED physician and admitted to the hospital, divided by the total number of patients seen by and ED physician. It excludes patients who were admitted through the ED by a PMD. |
