NEW YORK, July 7, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dexur's analysis of Medicare claims of hospitals within a 50-mile radius of Reno, Nevada, showed that Renown South Meadows Medical Center had the best value outcomes over a 90-day episode for Sepsis, followed by Northern Nevada Medical Center and Renown 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 such as Renown Accountable Care, LLC, make appropriate referrals choices. The analysis was risk-adjusted, for alive and non-hospice patients and was done at the DRG level, specifically DRG 871: Septicemia Or Severe Sepsis Without MV >96 Hours With Major Complication Or Comorbidity, to adjust for complications and comorbidities.
