PROVIDER OUTCOME MEASURES
DATA COLLECTION AND REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS
March 29, 2014
The following information will guide you in collecting and reporting data on outcome measures included
in your current contract. All providers will be scored on the claims denial rate measure but are not
required to report on it; CenterPoint Human Services (CenterPoint) is able to capture this information
from paid claims data and will report it back to you monthly so you can track your own progress. ICFs are
only responsible for reporting on the three fiscal measures listed below.
You may use your own process for data collection or opt to use the Excel workbook “tracker” provided
by CenterPoint (it automatically calculates outcomes as you enter data). Do not submit the tracker to
CenterPoint; it is for your internal use only.
Providers will receive a performance score based on results of the required outcome measures. Fiscal
outcome measures count 15% of the total score. The remaining measures count 85% of the total score.
Scores are weighted to provide focus on the most critical areas.
FISCAL OUTCOME MEASURE
Outcome: Provider denial rate on claims at or below 10% (data collected/tracked by CenterPoint)
Data source: CenterPoint claims and billing data
Data reported: N/A. It is not necessary for providers to report to CenterPoint on this measure; we
are able to capture the data based on paid claims.
FISCAL OUTCOME MEASURES TO BE REPORTED
1. Outcome: Days of cash on hand – Minimum of 60 days
Definition: The days of cash on hand ratio measures the number of days of average cash expenses that a
business maintains in cash and cash equivalents. High values for this ration usually imply a greater ability
to meet short term obligations.
Data source: Financial statements
Data reported: Total number of days of cash on hand; 60 days = Met
Calculation: Cash + Cash Equivalents / (Total Expenditures / Number of days being measured)

2. Outcome: Current ratio of 1.0
Definition: The current ratio is used to measure liquidity. The value of the current ratio measures the
number of dollars held in current assets per each dollar of current liabilities. High values for this imply
good ability to pay short–term obligations.
Data source: Financial statements
Data reported: Ratio; 1.0 =Met
Calculation: Current assets / Current liabilities
3. Outcome: Long-term debt to net assets ratio – Maximum ratio of 2.5:1
Definition: The long term debt to net assets ratio is used to measure the company’s assets that are
financed with loans and financial obligations lasting more than one year. The ratio provides a general
measure of the financial position of the company, including its ability to meet financial requirements for
outstanding loans. A year-over-year decrease in this metric would suggest the company is progressively
becoming less dependent on debt to grow their business.
Data source: Financial statements
Data reported: Ratio; 2.5:1 = Met
Calculation: Long term debt / Total Net Assets
REPORTING SCHEDULE
Submit the reporting template to CenterPoint at ProviderOutcomes@cphs.org according to the following
schedule. To simplify data collection, CenterPoint provided a “tracker” that automatically calculates
outcomes as you enter the data. You may use this option or your own process. Please remember that it is
not required that you use the tracker and it is not necessary to submit it to CenterPoint. You only need to
submit the reporting template type that applies to your agency.
