navces uses a proprietary analytics system to evaluate the allowed amounts (or discounted amounts) from medical claims and pricing in your geographic location and local market. This includes a variety of data sources to provide members with accurate Fair Price information for healthcare services individualized to their needs. This system is used to develop Fair Price data and provide High-Value quality rankings in markets nationally. navces can provide this service to all markets, all locations, and in all states.
navces uses multiple proprietary data points when determining quality rankings.
While hospitals can perform many different procedures, most hospitals do not have the same level of quality in every clinical area.
Hospital quality rankings are designed to help patients understand each hospital’s overall level of quality for a particular inpatient clinical area or procedure. Similarly, our physician rankings are designed to help patients understand a physician’s overall quality, as well as the physician’s outcomes for specific procedures. Each hospital is compared against all other US hospitals and each physician against other physicians. Note that most diagnostic testing is not measurable for quality.
navces quality rankings are built upon the same patient outcomes-based framework as the hospital quality rankings. We offer both overall and procedure-specific physician rankings when available.
Physician quality ranking is calculated with multiple data points by evaluating each physician’s patient-specific outcomes in a clinical area. The ranking is calculated by combining a physician’s performance in several areas: patient complications, patient safety, mortality, and unplanned re-admissions. All metrics are risk and volume adjusted. Calculations are based on a statistically significant sample drawn from CMS data. Our methodology is validated and published in peer-reviewed medical journals.
No, very few hospitals are good at all things.
Other quality metrics you will see only use a single overall ranking for each hospital. That does not work effectively in the patient’s best interest. That approach is not helpful to members because a single ranking can mask important differences in the level of quality between clinical areas at the hospital.
For example, a hospital can be among the highest performing facilities in the US for heart surgery, yet the same hospital can also be among the poorest performing facilities for joint replacement. If you are a patient in need of a knee replacement, you must have the ability to assess the hospital’s performance specifically for the care you need, as opposed to an overall hospital score across all clinical areas. navces uses multiple comprehensive data points in its research for quality rankings.
