This review is designed to distill a myriad of information into an action-oriented report. The electronic age has created a data paradise for many executives, and they have more data on which to base decisions than they have ever had. But the availability of data is not necessarily beneficial unless it can be transformed into decision-relevant information. Profitability at the product line, DRG and CPT levels is examined and compared to that of Best practice hospitals and key competitors. Coding issues are reviewed and potential under-coding areas as well as possible compliance issues are highlighted.
Capital structure is reviewed to determine feasibility and desirability of additional financing.
Effectiveness of current cash and investment management is reviewed. Cost management is reviewed and possible areas for improvement are identified-from clinical management to overhead review. 2001 Ingenix Inc.
