Dexur’s analysis of Medicare claims of hospitals within a 10-mile radius of Brooklyn, NY, showed that New York Community Hospital, Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, and New York-Presbyterian Queens had the best value outcomes over a 90-day episode for Sepsis. 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 Community Care of Brooklyn IPA and Empire ACO LLC, make appropriate referrals choices.
