Vizient, Inc. (Irving, TX) and the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) announced the launch of community benchmarking capabilities for physicians within the Clinical Practice Solutions Center (CPSC), an analytics platform that drives performance improvement for academic and community practices.
The addition of community benchmarking provides metrics, including physician productivity, new patient visit ratios, reimbursement coding and procedure distribution, and charge lag data.
It has the flexibility to allow each organization to view the data in numerous ways, such as by provider, by over 128 specialties, and by location, and to compare performance with peer organizations.
The solution provides the ability to benchmark academic and community-based providers across a wide variety of metrics. CPSC gives plan administrators and clinical leaders — whether community practice, academic medical center, or both — insights to monitor and improve patient access and performance, Vizient said.
