Patient Costing Analysis – Solution Requirements

With this in mind the analyst and user have established the questions that need to be answered on
this dashboard...

Dashboard: Patient Costing Analysis

The broad metrics that the user requires are...

 Patient count
 Averages for length of stay (LOS), Age
 Highlight Revenue, Cost and Profit, Previous Year & Month Cost for comparison
 Year based profitability
 Practitioner Profitability
 Patient activity (e.g. Country of origin, Admission type, LOS etc.)
 Gender ratio
 Average length of stay (LOS) by specialty and cost
 Average length of stay (LOS) by age group and profitability
 Time since discharge
 GEO Analytics patient origins showing Counts, Revenue, Cost, LOS,
profitability, average age using Maps

Other considerations for dashboard interaction are the use of appropriate dimensions...

 Admission Date drill down capability e.g. Year >>> Month >> Date
 Age Group Drill Down e.g. Age Group >>> Age
 Filter selections by Admission year, Specialty, Gender

See business rules page for rules clarification of complex metrics

Business Rules

1: Length of stay is calculated as patient discharge date subtract admission date resulting in days

* This value does not exist in the data per se, we need to calculate at load time

2: Patient count should consider there are duplicates due to the admission history contained in the
table, hence eliminate these when counting

3: Revenue derived from multiple columns in the patient data set...

IncomeChildTopup - pediatric revenue additions (Non aggregatable)

IncomeExcessBedDays - patient overstay revenue (Non aggregatable)

IncomeTariff - Tariffs levied for various reasons (Non aggregatable)

IncomeTopUp - Top ups are transactional e.g. may represent periodic payments
during a stay (Aggregatable)

* Handling non aggregatable values requires that they are only used in the Revenue aggregation once

4: Cost is represented by aggregating the patient cost of care, denoted by column Cost

5: Profitability is derived by aggregating revenue and subtracting cost

6: Ratios regarding Gender are the proportion of a gender population to the overall population

* The calculation will need to test the gender when counting

7: Days since discharge is calculated as todays date subtract patient discharge date resulting in days

* This value does not exist in the data per se, we need to calculate at load time

8: Age group is calculated based on the discretization of ages within the patient data set

* This value does not exist in the data per se, we need to calculate at load time

Bucket as follows...

0-12, 12-18, 18-30, 30-50, 50-65, 65-75, 75-85, 85+

9: Last year and last month cost should be calculated on cost based on the current Year &
Month selected by the user else previous year value as default

Formatting Guidelines
1: Profitability by year is a shaded area line chart

2: Revenue highlight should be blue when > $999999 else yellow indicating awareness of the value

3: Cost highlight should be blue

4: Profit highlight should be red when <0 and green when >0

5: Gender ratio can be represented as a vertical bar with 10% increments

6: Geo maps should reveal a global map with zoom in capability and filter responsiveness
