Scenario
As a health information professional your facility is planning to expand the surgical care unit in
your medium-sized Phoenix Hospital. The hope is to become the premier surgical care unit in
Phoenix. It is your job to estimate the ROI for this project and answer the following questions:
1. Are there are enough cases in Phoenix for our facility to profit?
2. How long will it take for our facility to make a profit on this investment?
3. Utilizing all of the information you have, do you believe this is a viable project for your
facility to do?
4. Why or why not? (using statistics to back up your opinion)
You have been tasked with analyzing the charges versus the reimbursement and then
calculating the return on investment for the project, length of investment and validity of
investment. In your dashboard you will be utilizing pivot tables and charts to create your
interactive dashboard. In order to keep it simple we are only using the 5 DRGs that you have
been working with.
Because we have data from 2 separate sources we need to put the data in all spreadsheets into
comparable data. In your CMS spreadsheet you will need to calculate the per patient costs,
charges & payments. This has been done for you in the other spreadsheets, however you will
need to do this in the CMS spread sheet.
- Step 15 – Adjust all columns on the CMS spreadsheet, as well as row 6
- Step 16 Delete columns A & B (Rndrng Prvdr Geo Lvl & Rndrng Prvder Geo Cd)
- Step 16 – Add three columns to the CMS spreadsheet, title them:
The Dashboard spreadsheet should have three Pivot Tables and six charts on it.
