Abstract

Systems and methods disclosed herein provide tools that provide institutions financial visibility in new and/or reformed initiatives by providing insight into the consistency and efficiency of relevant services. A multidimensional query may be performed on institutional data to generate a results set. A baseline model may be generated based off of the results set. One or more adjustments to the baseline model may then be applied to generate a predictive model. The predictive model may then be compared to the baseline model to generate a predicted change in the financial metrics.

Claims (82)

1 . A method for performing horizontal analysis of institutional data of a healthcare provider, the method comprising:

receiving an indication of two or more dimensions for a multidimensional query;

performing a multidimensional query of historical data on the two or more dimensions;

generating a set of results based upon the multidimensional query;

determining a baseline model based on the set of results;

receiving an adjustment to a parameter of the baseline model to generate a predictive model; and

simultaneously displaying the adjustment, a first summary financial metric for the baseline model, a second summary financial metric for the predictive model, and at least one difference between the first summary financial metric and the second summary financial metric.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the multidimensional query is a three dimensional query, and wherein the three dimensions comprise:

patient criteria;

trigger conditions; and

claim criteria.

3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising receiving at least a first set of factors for the patient criteria as parameters for the multidimensional query, and wherein the first set of factors include at least one of:

financial data;

payer data;

location;

gender;

age;

diagnosis; and

name.

4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising receiving a second set of factors for the trigger conditions as parameters for the multidimensional query, and wherein the second set of factors include at least one of:

a service;

an action; and

a medical event.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the historical data includes data relating to multiple payers and the parameter is a vertical parameter that affects a first payer of the multiple payers but not a second payer of the multiple payers.

6 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising receiving a third set of factors for the claim criteria as parameters for the multidimensional query, and wherein the third set of factors include at least one of:

place of service;

code type; and

providers.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the parameter comprises part of the set of results, and receiving an adjustment to the at least one parameter comprises receiving an adjustment to at least one of:

a reimbursement amount;

a supply cost; and

a number of units.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first and second summary financial metrics each comprise at least one of:

total cost;

reimbursement value; and

net revenue.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the parameter is calculated from the set of results when determining the baseline model.

10 . A computer storage medium encoding computer executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, perform a method for performing horizontal analysis of institutional data of a healthcare provider, the method comprising:

receiving an indication of two or more dimensions for a multidimensional query;

performing a multidimensional query of historical data on the two or more dimensions;

generating a set of results based upon the multidimensional query;

determining a baseline model based on the set of results;

receiving an adjustment to a parameter of the baseline model to generate a predictive model; and

simultaneously displaying the adjustment, a first summary financial metric for the baseline model, a second summary financial metric for the predictive model, and at least one difference between the first summary financial metric and the second summary financial metric.

11 . The computer storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the multidimensional query is a three dimensional query, and wherein the three dimensions comprise:

patient criteria;

trigger conditions; and

claim criteria.

12 . The computer storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the method further comprises receiving at least a first set of factors for the patient criteria as parameters for the multidimensional query, and wherein the first set of factors include at least one of:

financial data;

payer data;

location;

gender;

age;

diagnosis; and

name.

13 . The computer storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the method further comprises receiving a second set of factors for the trigger conditions as parameters for the multidimensional query, and wherein the second set of factors include at least one of:

a service;

an action; and

a medical event.

14 . The computer storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the historical data includes data relating to multiple payers and the parameter is a vertical parameter that affects a first payer of the multiple payers but not a second payer of the multiple payers.

15 . The computer storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the method further comprises receiving a third set of factors for the claim criteria as parameters for the multidimensional query, and wherein the third set of factors include at least one of:

place of service;

code type; and

providers.

16 . The computer storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the parameter comprises part of the set of results, and receiving an adjustment to the at least one parameter comprises receiving an adjustment to at least one of:

a reimbursement amount;

a supply cost; and

a number of units.

17 . The computer storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the first and second summary financial metrics each comprise at least one of:

total cost;

reimbursement value; and

net revenue.

18 . The computer storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the parameter is calculated from the set of results when determining the baseline model.

19 . A method for performing vertical analysis of institutional data of healthcare provider, the method comprising:

receiving an indication of two or more dimensions for a multidimensional query;

performing the multidimensional query of historical data on the two or more dimensions, wherein the multidimensional query defines a population, and wherein the population comprises a plurality of payers;

generating a set of results based upon the multidimensional query;

determining a baseline model based on the set of results;

receiving an adjustment to a parameter of the baseline model to generate a predictive model, wherein the parameter is a horizontal parameter that affects multiple payers in the plurality of payers and affects a first payer of the plurality of payers differently from a second payer of the plurality of payers; and

applying the adjustment across the plurality of payers to generate a predictive model.

20 . The method of claim 19 , further comprising simultaneously displaying the adjustment, a first summary financial metric for the baseline model, and a second summary financial metric for the predictive model.
