should be used when
interpreting results
E & M Analysis – Multiple Ranges
and Graphs
The same report can
be further amended to
display multiple graphs
per provider (left).
The tool’s flexibility
allows a user to easily
change the graphical
display from lines to
bars (bottom).
At a glance: Clinical Fingerprint
Broad procedure categories can be
further broken down into more
detailed CPT ranges. Here, the
report was filtered on E&M codes
and the displays the composite
ranges that make up the E&M
category.
Subtotals are provided for each
specialty, code range and
procedure category. A grand total
for the department appears at the
end of the report
**NOTE**: where FPSC Mean is
0.00 no benchmark exists for this
specialty (see Bone Marrow
Transplant left.) Departments may
want to consider reassigning
providers to more general
specialties, though this is NOT
recommended when the provider’s
services are truly specialized. In
these cases it may be better to wait
for more participating universities to
begin using the specialty
assignment, after which
benchmarks can be calculated by
FPSC
At a glance: Trend Analysis
Simple trending by month
Filtered on Dept of Medicine
Since each physician equals one FTE,
Total FTE RVUs = Total RVUs/Number
of Physicians
Trend Analysis – view by
Percentiles
Filtered on OBGYN
Columns have been replaced by the
All Benchmark Values, allowing
comparisons under different
assumptions.
The Measure selected to
benchmark was Work RVUs. Note
how the Benchmark values change
with each Percentile.
At a glance: Payer Mix
A split view provides a
nice graphical
interpretation along with
underlying numbers.
