  7. 6 Organizational Considerations 1. Key concern: centralized vs distributed data management 2. Most MBHOs have centralized data warehouses with input from multiple UM/Claims/Eligibility systems feeds • Advantages: standardized reporting used by multiple depts / ‘scrubbed data’ / tasks built around this data • Disadvantages: little flexibility for end-users / system downtime domino effect / complex QI processes 3. End-users still require own data ‘experts’ to access, set report parameters, QA and generate ad-hoc reports 1 2 3 4 5 6 H

  8. 7 Organizational Considerations 1. As a result, many companies use a combination of approaches-dedicated corporate data analytics departments and data analysts in field / regional offices: • 1 DA can support a large regional operation-usually reports to local executive, but can have dotted-line to corporate department • Corporate DA department size will vary - estimate 5-10 FTEs will report to CIO / Chief Clinical Officer for a large organization 1 2 3 4 5 6 H

  9. 8 Organizational Considerations 1. Common practice - develop local ‘one-off’ DBs to support UM process • Allows more timely ad-hoc analysis of acute care utilization data • Tracking of local program initiatives - how many IP diversions from admissions requests • Data doesn’t match centralized UM data, but should be close enough to be useful • IP days measured in month of admit or discharge 1 2 3 4 5 6 H

  12. 11 Data Used to Manage Utilization Trend Providers and Facility Networks • Facility Scorecard • Provider profiling (using auth or claims data) • Frequency of accommodations for OON facs Key claims based metrics allows comparisons between facilities Facility ALOS / discharge appts / comparative data Attending MDs utilization - no. of cases / ALOS • Frequency and outcomes of clinical appeals • Compliance with precertification and LOC protocols 1 2 3 4 5 6 H

  13. 12 Data Used to Manage Utilization Trend Care Management • Staffing ratios vs. actual FTEs • Case load analysis • Care Managers and Medical Director relationship - IRR • ALOS Membership • Review member mix - MC Dual Eligibles and MC Advantage • HP expansion into new geographic areas or new lines 1 2 3 4 5 6 H

  14. 13 Data Used to Manage Utilization Trend Employee Assistance Program 1. Penetration rate % Membership using EAP. Definition is important. 2. Members referred to non-benefit resources 3. Members referred to MHSA benefits 4. Gatekeeper model % of EAP referrals using MHSA 5. Website page viewing analysis F PC R H
