Expand CDI scope to all settings

To sustain performance, you need consistent visibility into KPIs and regular staff education. Consistent data monitoring and coaching help you identify high impact opportunities and reinforce best practices. Ongoing reporting can include both executive and physician dashboards to monitor the impact of your CDI program and measure physician performance by national norms, specialty and practice groups. 3M uses the proprietary 3M™ All Patient Refined DRG (APR DRG) methodology to measure quality outcomes for severity of illness (SOI) and risk of mortality (ROM)—the same approach used by state and federal agencies for public reporting.

Quality experts from 3M can help clients identify the root cause of a quality issue by determining the accuracy of the documentation first—viewing quality from a documentation perspective to create a long-term solution that can help deliver improved quality measures and outcomes.

Outpatient CDI brings its own unique challenges: multiple systems to integrate and diverse care settings, such as emergency departments, hospital-based outpatient care, same day surgeries and physician clinics. 3M also offers consulting services that analyze how your organization is managing the hierarchical condition categories (HCCs). Our expert consultants can help you adjust for risk, capture complete and accurate documentation, focus on high impact cases and accurately measure your ongoing success.
