Understanding your ED level distribution is critical. Our analyses can also help you meet your auditing and compliance needs.
Wage Index and Occupational Mix Data Analyses
Medicare Hospital Wage Index and Occupational Mix Data analyses provide hospitals with a comparative review of the wage and occupational mix data that will be used to develop the Medicare hospital wage index. This analysis is released three times per year with preliminary, revised and final data. Wage Index Reclassification analyses allow hospitals to test their potential ability to obtain a Medicare hospital wage index reclassification.
Post-acute Care Transfer Policy Analyses

We’ll help you understand your discharge data and evaluate if and how premature discharges have occurred — so you can make informed decisions to address any issues.
