2 Review: Agenda 3M APR DRG Methodology DataVision: Web and Server Applications Data Discovery: Resource use and Length of Stay: Wren Memorial, Cardiac Services Michael Memorial Orthopedic Services Mortality Vitale Memorial Hospital, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) Summary and Questions 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium May 20 23, 2012 Tucson, Arizona 2

3 Severity Adjustment Systems All Patient Diagnostic Related Group (AP DRG) 1987: New York passed prospective payment for all non-medicare patients All-Payer Severity-adjusted DRG (APS DRG) Different methodology, also developed from the DRG model All Patient Refined DRG (APR DRG) Researched and developed by New York Department of Health (NYDH) in partnership with 3M Health Information Systems (HIS) Others: STS, APACHE, Disease Staging, MedisGroups 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium May 20 23, 2012 Tucson, Arizona

4 3M APR DRG Expanded the scope of DRGs to add: Severity of Illness (SOI) The extent of physiologic decompensation or organ system loss of function Risk of Mortality (ROM) The likelihood of dying 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium May 20 23, 2012 Tucson, Arizona

5 Development Process: Clinically Coherent with Sufficient Case Volume Start with All Patient DRGs (AP DRGs) Consolidate Combine the with CC and without CC DRGs Each APR DRG has a four-point CC scale built in Pediatric additions Add APR DRGs for mortality Eliminate any unique DRGs for deaths only 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium May 20 23, 2012 Tucson, Arizona

6 Subclass Assignment Assign each secondary diagnosis a SOI and ROM level (subclass) from 1 to 4 In an iterative fashion, assign a subclass number based on dominant secondary diagnoses Some modifications for age Hypertension in children is considered major as a secondary Some modifications for specific APR DRGs Chronic Renal Failure as a secondary is Moderate, except if the APR DRG is diabetes, in which case it is Major 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium May 20 23, 2012 Tucson, Arizona

7 Testing After the clinical model for SOI and ROM is developed for each base APR DRG, it is evaluated with historical data to be sure the subclasses predict resource use (SOI) and mortality rate (ROM). Version 20.0 was evaluated with a national database of 8.5 million discharges, all payers, from 1,000 hospitals from 10 states, and 47 children s hospitals in the U.S. 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium May 20 23, 2012 Tucson, Arizona

8 Beginning with APR DRG v.20 For each APR DRG subclass, a Relative Weight (RW) was calculated to reflect the resources required for a patient in that APR DRG subclass. The subclass RW allows calculation of an overall Case Mix Index (CMI) for the hospital or by physician or physician group, which is severityadjusted. Allows for more refined reimbursement 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium May 20 23, 2012 Tucson, Arizona

9 APR DRG v20: Relative Weights Base Rate RW Payment $ 4, $ 2, $ 4, $ 3, $ 4, $ 5, $ 4, $ 12, st Annual Midas+ User Symposium May 20 23, 2012 Tucson, Arizona

10 Cautions APR DRG SOI and ROM subclasses are ranked categories unique to each APR DRG and cannot be averaged across APR DRGs (they are not really numbers). For example, congestive heart failure patients in severity subclass 4 are not comparable to patients with a fractured leg in severity subclass 4. In version 20.0 or later, you can average the RW. Beware choosing a population by MS-DRG or ICD-9 diagnosis and running reports or doing analysis for the whole population by APR DRG SOI or ROM. 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium May 20 23, 2012 Tucson, Arizona

13 APR DRG Reports APR-DRG Lives/Days Saved Report Compares the facility's mortality and average length of stay (ALOS) data observed/expected (O/E) ratio statistics with the Midas+ comparative database (CDB) mean Provides site percentile rank in comparison with the CDB Predicts the number of lives and days that might be saved if outcomes improved to a different percentile Hospital APR-DRG Service Line Profile Lists all 3M APR DRG defined service lines for the facility Provides mortality, ALOS, and Potentially Preventable Readmission (PPR) O/E ratio or delta statistics based on the CDB mean 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium May 20 23, 2012 Tucson, Arizona 13

14 APR DRG Reports Hospital APR-DRG Ranking Profile Lists all APR DRGs and provides mortality, ALOS, and Potentially Preventable Readmission (PPR) O/E ratio or delta statistics based on the CDB mean APR-DRG Comparative Trend Analysis A two-part report that displays the length of stay O/E ratio and the mortality O/E ratio for the selected APR DRG, comparing the facility s performance with percentiles from the CDB 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium May 20 23, 2012 Tucson, Arizona 14

15 APR-DRG Subclass Detail APR DRG Reports A three-part report that examines facility LOS for the APR DRG, stratified by four severity-of-illness (SOI) levels Mortality rates for the APR DRG, stratified by four ROM levels Potentially Preventable Readmissions, stratified by four SOI levels This report includes percentile comparisons with the comparative database Single APR-DRG Comparison Profile Lists all providers for a specific APR DRG and provides mortality and ALOS statistics for each provider Can be viewed by provider name or code Parameter allows report to be viewed by attending or principal procedure provider 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium May 20 23, 2012 Tucson, Arizona 15

16 APR DRG Reports APR-DRG Specialty Comparison Report Compares a single provider to her peers for LOS and mortality, within the hospital and with the comparative database Based on mapping of specialty groups specialties with admitting or attending activity Provider APR-DRG Detail Report Lists all APR DRGs for a selected provider and provides mortality and LOS statistics for each APR DRG as well as a specialty comparison All APR-DRG Provider Summary Observed and expected mortality and LOS data for each of the facility s providers This report is useful for identifying high-volume providers 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium May 20 23, 2012 Tucson, Arizona 16
