Dexur’s analysis of medicare claims of hospitals within a 10-mile radius of Paducah, Kentucky, showed that Mercy Health - Lourdes Hospital and Baptist Health Paducah had the best value outcomes over a 90 day episode for COPD. Dexur’s value analysis tracks a patient’s episode of care from the date of admission for 90 days and includes the index hospitalizations, rehospitalization, home health, nursing home, and ED costs. Total cost of care data helps patients make appropriate choices and helps local ACOs make appropriate referral choices. The analysis was risk-adjusted, for alive and non-hospice patients and was done at the DRG level, specifically DRG 190: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease with Major Complication or Comorbidity (MCC), to adjust for complications and comorbidities.
