SPL Resources

One of the primary benefits of QualityAdvisor is the ability to analyze and compare resource consumption from one hospital/hospital system to any user-selected hospital peer group. However, in order to compare resource consumption across many different hospitals, each hospital’s charge master must be mapped to the same standard charge master.

QualityAdvisor provides access to Standard Product List (SPL) resource reporting via the following:

• Facility and Peer SPL Resource Analysis
• Facility SPL Daily Resource Analysis
• SPL attributes/metrics in Standard Analysis outcomes reporting and Custom Query reporting

Access Requirements

SPL Resource analyses are available for all members. Your facility’s Charge Description Master (CDM) must be mapped to Premier’s Standard Product List (SPL) in order to run reports using the SPL Resource hierarchy.

SPL Resource Data Availability

SPL Resource data is available on the SPL Resource analyses in Standard Analyses as well as in Custom Query or Custom Comparison. SPL Resource data can also be drilled to from any analysis. The Medical Record Report is based on SPL resources.

Risk-Adjustment

SPL Resource analyses are not risk-adjusted. This means that the SPL Resource analyses:

• Do not have Expected values for resource consumption and
• Are always available regardless of the Risk Method selected in My Admin (Admin > My Admin)

Note: 3M APR DRG must be selected as the Risk Method in order for APR DRGs to be available in the prompts.
