Outcome Profile - Facility 3M™

This analysis allows you to evaluate all outcomes for a defined population, which helps narrow the search for an opportunity for improvement. Use this analysis to see all the metrics for all the outcomes at-a-glance.

Select Population Tab:

There are 3 required prompts that you must select before running this analysis.

Required Prompts:

  • Facilities
  • Time (1 year is selected by default.)
  • Inpatient/Outpatient (Inpatient is selected by default. You should not select Outpatient for this analysis because risk-adjusted metrics are calculated for inpatients only.)

Optional Prompts:

  • Diagnoses (ICD-10)
  • Procedures (ICD-10)
  • Inlier/Outlier
  • Patient Types
  • Patient Demographics
  • Patient Origination
  • Patient
  • Practitioners
  • Patient Visits
  • Resources - SPL
  • Facility Payers
  • Standard Primary Payers
  • Standard Secondary Payers
  • Patient Qualifications

Row Header Prompt

  • (The Row Header prompt is not available because each row is an outcome.)

Optional Prompts:

  • Page-By (This option allows you to put a Page-By on the analysis before you run it.)

Default Metrics

On this analysis, each row is an outcome: Mortality, Cost, Charge, LOS, etc. The following metrics return for each outcome when the grid returns:

For the Mortality Outcome:

  • Outcome Cases - The number of cases for the Mortality outcome that qualified for risk adjustment. Based on the Outcome Case methodology, some cases may not qualify for risk adjustment.
  • Observed -The number of patient deaths in the Mortality Outcome Cases.
  • Expected - The expected value for the Outcome Cases, calculated using the 3M™ risk-adjustment methodology.
  • Variation - The Observed value minus the Expected value.
  • O/E - The Observed value divided by the Expected value. Less than 1 = performing better than expected. Greater than 1 = performing worse than expected.
  • SS - Asterisks display only if the Variation is statistically significant. The number of asterisks indicates the confidence level that the outcome's variation is not due to chance: 1 asterisk = 75%, 2 asterisks = 95%, 3 asterisks = 99%. Green asterisks = the outcome’s variance is statistically better than expected. Red asterisks = the outcome’s variance is statistically worse than expected. Total lines do not have values for Statistical Significance.

For the Geometric LOS Outcome:

  • Outcome Cases - The number of cases for the LOS outcome that qualified for risk adjustment. Based on the Outcome Case methodology, some cases may not qualify for risk adjustment.
  • Observed - The geometric mean length of stay (LOS) for the LOS Outcome Cases.
  • Expected - The expected value for the Outcome Cases, calculated using the 3M™ risk-adjustment methodology and the geometric mean.
  • Variation - The Observed value minus the Expected value.
  • O/E - The Observed value divided by the Expected value. Less than 1 = performing better than expected. Greater than 1 = performing worse than expected.
  • SS - Asterisks display only if the Variation is statistically significant. The number of asterisks indicates the confidence level that the outcome's variation is not due to chance: 1 asterisk = 75%, 2 asterisks = 95%, 3 asterisks = 99%. Green asterisks = the outcome’s variance is statistically better than expected. Red asterisks = the outcome’s variance is statistically worse than expected. Total lines do not have values for Statistical Significance.

For the Geometric Cost Outcome:

  • Outcome Cases - The number of cases for the Cost/Case outcome that qualified for risk adjustment. Based on the Outcome Case methodology, some cases may not qualify for risk adjustment.
  • Observed - The cost/case for the Cost Outcome Cases.
  • Expected - The expected value for the Outcome Cases, calculated using the 3M™ risk-adjustment methodology and the geometric mean.
  • Variation - The Observed value minus the Expected value.
  • O/E - The Observed value divided by the Expected value. Less than 1 = performing better than expected. Greater than 1 = performing worse than expected.
  • SS - Asterisks display only if the Variation is statistically significant. The number of asterisks indicates the confidence level that the outcome's variation is not due to chance: 1 asterisk = 75%, 2 asterisks = 95%, 3 asterisks = 99%. Green asterisks = the outcome’s variance is statistically better than expected. Red asterisks = the outcome’s variance is statistically worse than expected. Total lines do not have values for Statistical Significance.

For the Geometric Charge Outcome:

  • Outcome Cases - The number of cases for the Charge/Case outcome that qualified for risk adjustment. Based on the Outcome Case methodology, some cases may not qualify for risk adjustment.
  • Observed - The charge/case for the Charge Outcome Cases.
  • Expected - The expected value for the Outcome Cases, calculated using the 3M™ risk-adjustment methodology and the geometric mean.
  • Variation - The Observed value minus the Expected value.
  • O/E - The Observed value divided by the Expected value. Less than 1 = performing better than expected. Greater than 1 = performing worse than expected.
  • SS - Asterisks display only if the Variation is statistically significant. The number of asterisks indicates the confidence level that the outcome's variation is not due to chance: 1 asterisk = 75%, 2 asterisks = 95%, 3 asterisks = 99%. Green asterisks = the outcome’s variance is statistically better than expected. Red asterisks = the outcome’s variance is statistically worse than expected. Total lines do not have values for Statistical Significance.

For the Arithmetic LOS Outcome:

  • Outcome Cases - The number of cases for the LOS outcome that qualified for risk adjustment. Based on the Outcome Case methodology, some cases may not qualify for risk adjustment.
  • Observed - The arithmetic mean length of stay LOS for the LOS Outcome Cases.
  • Expected - The expected value for the Outcome Cases, calculated using the 3M™ risk-adjustment methodology and the arithmetic mean.
  • Variation - The Observed value minus the Expected value.
  • O/E - The Observed value divided by the Expected value. Less than 1 = performing better than expected. Greater than 1 = performing worse than expected.
  • SS - Asterisks display only if the Variation is statistically significant. The number of asterisks indicates the confidence level that the outcome's variation is not due to chance: 1 asterisk = 75%, 2 asterisks = 95%, 3 asterisks = 99%.
