2023 Together - P433 - Using Vizient CDB to Drive Performance in Value-Based Care - On Demand
Our overall initiative was to analyze factors affecting value-based reimbursement. We used the Vizient Clinical Data Base (CDB) to analyze length of stay (LOS), direct costs and discharge disposition. The analysis showed that we discharged to skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) more often and discharged to home less often than our cohort average. We then used the CDB to analyze how use of physical and occupational therapy (PT and OT) related to LOS and discharge disposition to home rather than an SNF. This data, in conjunction with the Vizient Mobility Collaborative, supported our original initiative of analyzing factors affecting value-based reimbursement and focusing on mobility to decrease LOS and increase discharge disposition to home.
