Dexur’s analysis of medicare claims of hospitals within a 10-mile radius of Manchester, NH, showed that Elliot Hospital had the best value outcomes over a 90 day episode for Sepsis, followed by Catholic Medical Center. Dexur’s value analysis tracks a patient’s episode of care from the date of admission for 90 days, including the index hospitalizations, rehospitalization, home health, nursing home, and ED costs. The total cost of care data helps patients make appropriate choices and helps local ACOs, such as NH Value Care ACO, LLC, make appropriate referrals choices. The analysis was risk-adjusted, for alive and non-hospice patients and was done at the DRG level, specifically DRG 470: Major Joint Replacement or Reattachment of Lower Extremity without Major Complication or Comorbidity, to adjust for complications and comorbidities.
