The CDPHO has been monitoring our inpatient and outpatient utilization for at least the last decade. We are acutely aware that our inpatient utilization is at "best practice" levels (as verified by Milliman). Outpatient utilization, according to Milliman, varies by service from "moderate" to "well managed".We're also aware that there is significant room for improvement, and by developing provider capabilities in care coordination and physician-hospital alignment feel that we are well poised to address the requirements of Accountable Care Organization contracts, such as those currently in place with Blue Cross, HNE and BMC Healthnet.

This is very consistent with the philosophy of the majority of the medical staff

It would be great if the CDH med staff and the pho could get going sharing date like these, which the pho is starting to get from health plans, so we can focus on any areas of excess utilization.

Data rocks! This reminds me that it's important for clinical decision support to be designed to meet patient-focused, quality care needs, rather than other needs. Thanks for passing along the article!
