20 About Data Entry The government are very keen on amassing statistics. They collect them, add them, raise them to the nth power, take the cube root and prepare wonderful diagrams. But you must never forget that every one of these figures comes in the first instance from the village watchman, who just puts down what he damn pleases.

47 Computing ROI To compute the dollars gained as a result of CDI interventions, generally one multiplies the difference between the initial DRG and the coded DRG by the hospital base rate. To do this in Midas+ build a computed field at the CDI Series User Field level. The Weight should be the hospital s Medicare Base Rate in this example we ve used $ st Annual Midas+ User Symposium May 20 23, 2012 Tucson, Arizona 47
48 Computing ROI (cont) In CDI once the final DRG comes across, the HCM CDI: Initial Weight Delta is computed automatically. Since this field is based on that value it will compute when the episode is opened and saved. It will display the dollars gained as a result of the CDI staff interventions to assign an appropriate DRG. The added benefit is that this value then becomes a sum variable in SmarTrack so you can put the total dollars gained from your CDI program on a CDI profile or use it in a ReporTrack report. 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium May 20 23, 2012 Tucson, Arizona 48
