Abstract:

Systems and methods for compiling and presenting physician quality information to consumers are provided. The physician quality information system aggregates data from data sources such as claims data, patient satisfaction data, and public discharge data and computes metrics based on definitions. These metrics can be things such as mortality rate, patient wait time after the scheduled appointment, and whether a physician performed a certain test when a specified set of symptoms were present. The consumer is presented with the physician quality information system through a website. The consumer can enter his or her preferences regarding the physician search into the website and these preferences are used to customize the report that is generated from the information that is computed and complied by the physician quality information system.

Abstract:

A computer-based method aids comparison of competitive performance of a first provider of services with other providers of the services, where the services are provided to a mix of customers belonging to different classes and the performance in providing the services is different for customers belonging to different classes. Data representing the first provider's competitive performance in providing various services to its customers is stored. Also stored is mix data representing the mix of its customers to which the services are provided. Similar data is stored representing each of the other providers' competitive performance in providing various services to its customers. The data of the other providers is adjusted in accordance with the mix data of the first provider. The unadjusted data of the first provider is visually provided together with the adjusted data of the other providers. Other aspects include automatically generating a printed report of information comparing performance of a first provider of services with performances of other providers of the services; and more broadly generating a report of an analysis of data.
