Custom Comparison Analysis - Peer CareScience
The Custom Comparison Analysis provides the functionality of a regular Standard Analysis with the added flexibility to choose the metrics you want in one analysis. For example, you can include outcome metrics, readmission metrics, and complications metrics in the same analysis.
Like all Standard Analyses, the risk-adjustment methodology selected in My Admin controls which versions of analyses are available for selection. It also controls the columns that are available for inclusion on the analyses.
There are four versions of Custom Comparison:
- 3M Facility
- 3M Peer
- CareScience Facility
- CareScience Peer
Select this analysis from the Standard Analysis options and follow the same process steps to complete the required and optional prompts (follow the on-screen instructions).
