Data Vintage Factor Adjusted Outcomes - Peer CareScience

This analysis can be generated for any timeframe available in QualityAdvisor and will provide automated Data Vintage Factor (DVF) adjustment across calibration years, so that data is stabilized for an uninterrupted continuation of trending after calibration takes place.

Select Population Tab:

There are 4 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 the risk-adjusted metrics contained in this report are calculated for inpatients only.)
  • Peer (You must choose at least five facilities in order for peer data to appear on the analysis.)

Optional Prompts:

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

Based on the start and end dates selected, DVFs are automatically adjusted on the report across current and previous CareScience risk-models so that the aggregate level outcomes are stabilized.

Notes:

  • For the most accurate report results, it is recommended that the report time frame should not cross more than 3 risk-adjustment model time frames, even though 5 years are provided within QualityAdvisor
  • Risk-adjustment model time frames are not equal to CareScience calibration years. In some instances, the calibration time frame combined more than one year (for example CSA 2017 was based on 10/1/2015 - 10/1/20/17). The specific readmission timeframes are listed below

DVF Adjusted Values

The DVF Adjusted values on the report are the aggregate values for the timeframe selected in the report prompts. These values are calculated at the disease-stratum level per patient (CCS for CareScience), and per risk-adjustment model timeframe(s).

Outcomes Included on the Analysis

The following outcomes appear in the grid when the analysis returns:

  • Mortality

  • Complications
