Dexur analyzed 2016-2018 Medicare claims data for Skin Infections hospitalizations to benchmark revenue per day metric for the hospital, state and nation. Revenue per day is calculating by summing all Medicare revenue and dividing by total patient days in hospital. Optimizing for revenue per day can promote the triple aim of better care, better health, and lower cost. Since, revenue from Medicare is risk adjusted at the DRG level, fewer days in hospital for a fixed DRG payment can lead to lower cost to the hospital (higher revenue per day) and better patient experience (fewer patient-days in hospital).
