Traditional hospital performance metrics like denial rates, CMI, LOS, and readmission rates hinder progress. Itās time to shift your perspective on KPIs.Ā Ā
Traditionally, a higher CMI indicates a more complex and resource-intensive caseload. However, fluctuations can occur due to DRG weights, in-patient-only lists, and changes in patient acuity, which may not fully reflect the true acuity of your hospitalās patient mix.Ā
