Dexur’s analysis of medicare claims of hospitals within a 50-mile radius of Pinehurst, NC, showed that FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital had the best value outcomes over a 90 day episode for Sepsis, followed by Scotland Memorial Hospital and Cape Fear Valley 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.
