How are SeniorMetrix benchmarks different from other sources?
Currently there are no adequate, evidenced-based guidelines or benchmarks reflecting the proper relationship of utilization and patient outcome for the post-acute industry. While some sources may offer outcome and utilization data, it is not severity adjusted. Others offer “recommendations from expert panel” or “guidelines extracted from published literature.” SeniorMetrix is the only source for evidence-based, severity adjusted decision support that is based on actual cost and outcome data from acute hospital, skilled nursing, home health and follow-up settings.
