NEW YORK, July 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dexur's analysis of Medicare claims of hospitals within a 50-mile radius of Grants Pass, Oregon, showed that Asante Three Rivers Medical Center had the best value outcomes over a 90-day episode for Hip & Knee Replacement, followed by Providence Medford Medical Center and Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center. Dexur's value analysis tracks a patient's episode of care from the date of admission for 90 days, including the index hospitalizations, rehospitalization, home health, nursing home, and ED costs. The total cost of care data helps patients make appropriate choices and helps local ACOs make appropriate referrals choices. The analysis was risk-adjusted, for alive and non-hospice patients and was done at the DRG level, specifically DRG 470: Major Joint Replacement or Reattachment of Lower Extremity without Major Complication or Comorbidity, to adjust for complications and comorbidities.
