Top Hospitals By Revenue Leakage (Medicare)

Case Study Sample Hospital

HOSPITAL NAME $ REVENUE LEAKED Northwest Texas Healthcare System $1,319,429 BSA Hospital $1,140,793 Covenant Medical Center $522,491 United Regional Health Care System $450,987 Vibra Hospital of Amarillo $427,517 Total Leakage: $3,861,217

Why Does Leakage Matter?

You have to be able to identify “leakage” by DRG to analyze patients that are leaving your market AND Determine if you are losing patients you should be keeping REMEMBER THAT WAS ONLY MEDICARE DOLLARS……….. What if they could have “kept” 2%?? = $77,224.34

Patient Origination (Medicare)

Case Study Sample Hospital ZIP CODE CITY % OF TOTAL CASES 79201 Childress, TX 7.6 % 79245 Memphis, TX 1.8 % 79248 Paducah, TX 1.8 % 79252 Quanah, TX 1.2 % 79095 Wellington, TX 0.5 % ❑ Why does this matter? You have to understand your patient origin to maintain and grow your market.

Gundersen Health's $50K knee replacement list price is 5 times what it costs Written by Morgan Haefner | August 22, 2018 |

In 2016, a La Crosse, Wis.-based Gundersen Health System hospital's average list price for knee replacement surgery was more than $50,000. After an 18-month review, Gundersen found the procedure actually cost a fifth of the list price — $10,550 at most, according to The Wall Street Journal. Here are highlights from the article: ➢ Time spent wheeling VCR carts, a lack of available post-surgery beds and delays in starting physical therapy were among the inefficiencies discovered in the report. ➢ The hospital cut its cement costs by 57 percent by opting for a generic version, which research indicates leads to the same results in most cases, according to WSJ. ➢ Gundersen implemented changes to its knee replacement surgery process after the review. The surgery now costs the hospital $8,700 on average, reflecting a savings of 18 percent.

The future of rural healthcare…..

Where Do We Go From Here??

• 1. We have to acknowledge healthcare is changing
• 2. We have to learn to use the data we have
• 3. We have to focus on high quality care
• 4. We have to focus on growth.

Final Thoughts

As rural providers we must: ➢ Focus on financial performance AND clinical quality ➢Know our data (financially and clinically) ➢Engage our providers ➢Engage our communities ➢Find ways to keep patients locally ➢Find new service lines ➢Provider better care than our neighboring hospitals ➢NEVER FORGET THAT ARE HERE FOR OUR PATIENTS

HOW DO WE WIN?

Simple:

• 1. Realize that healthcare is a business
• Be operationally efficient and grow revenues
• 2. Provide better care than anyone else
• Use data to identify clinical opportunities and enhance patient

experience in our organizations
