Dexur’s analysis of medicare claims of hospitals within a 10-mile radius of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, showed that Wilkes-Barre General Hospital and Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center had the best value outcomes over a 90 day episode for Hip & Knee replacement. 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.
