Creation of the 1st Run
- DATABASE
- MedParIn_db = Medicare sample inpatient database
- 2008 = 2008 FY
- CLASSIFY
- RACE
- ALL = All the race codes
- DEPENDENT
- LengthOfStay = Bed days
- >-1 = Include all records, even those with zero bed days
- DEPENDENT
- LengthOfStay = Bed days
- >30 = Include only records with more than 30 bed days
Creation of the 2nd Run
- The 2nd DEPENDENT is different
- OutlierDays
- >0 = Include records with outlier days greater than 0
Using These Runs
In analyzing these reports, the S.D. for LengthOfStay (bed days greater than 30) for the RACE (BLACK) is 41.8241. For the same line, the S.D. is 15.9815 for OutlierDays (outlier days greater than 0). Drilling down on the RACE (BLACK) line showed that a patient had 1015 bed days, 70 outlier days, $977,673 Covered Charges, $1,261,045 ICU charges and $2,875,950 Total Charges.
This patient was assigned the DRG "483 TRAC W MECH VENT 96+HRS OR PDX EXC FACE,MOUTH & NECK DX".
The Drill Down to find this information is simple, easy, and fast (one second or less). Drilling down allows you to analyze the record for possible coding problems or unusual data.
