Overview
This report analyzes where patients received a procedure of interest and where they go to receive relevant treatment. The procedures/services of interest are defined by your codeset.
All claims are analyzed for patients who originated from counties within a default 100 mile radius from the county of the targeted facility. The analysis includes where those patients received care. If the patient exits the county of origin to receive care, the patient is considered a leakage, or lost patient. The 100 mile radius can be changed from the report settings.
Leakage
High overall leakage is a financial threat to a hospital. Leaked patients not only represent a missed revenue and reimbursement opportunity, but potentially missed revenue for the lifetime of the patient. Being aware of the preferences and destinations patients select for care can help a facility decrease patient leakage. Increasing the rate of relevant patients getting treated at this facility will grow the immediate financials of the facility, and pay dividends over time.
Relevant Patients By County Of Origin
This section shows the counties of origin for patients who received procedures/services of interest.
Ratio Of Patients Who Stayed vs. Those Who Left
This section shows the ratio of patients leaving their counties of origin to receive care at a facility other than the targeted facility.
Patient Treatment Summary
The table summarizes the total number of relevant Medicare patients in the targeted county who received a procedure or service of interest. In addition, the table summarizes the number of relevant patients who received care at the targeted facility as well as the number of relevant patients who did not receive care at the targeted facility. The last column represents how many more patients the focal facility would capture if they captured 10% of those who leave.
Patient Treatment County Detail
This section summarizes for each, the top facilities treating patients matching the procedure or service of interest. The yellow star indicates the facility is inside the region.
