| Dimensional Warehouse Model Data Model |
Description | The analysis of the overall performance of the physicians in terms of care provided to patients and the time taken to provide such care. A wide variety of dimensions allow the healthcare organization to easily correlate many different factors to better understand the impact of factors such as case complexity and patient condition on performance measures. These insights can then be used to develop appropriate training or to suggest changes in facilities and supporting services. |

Description | The monetary amount that is actually charged for the procedures performed. This can include the amount charged to the patient directly and any amounts charged to other payers such as health insurers. |

Description | The total case complexity scores for all cases included in the analysis. This gives an approximation of the caseload adjusted by a weighting factor where the same type of procedure maybe more or less difficult depending on factors such as the patient's age, weight and general health. |

Description | The calculated average number of performed procedure relative value units (RVU) performed by practitioners being the overall number of RVUs divided by the number of practitioners involved. This measure can be used as a basis for comparing the relative productivity of individual healthcare practitioners. The use of the relative value unit equivalents for procedures largely eliminates the problem of comparing the performance of practitioners involved in different specialties. Formula: [A/B] (see dependencies and their labels for measures used in the formula) |

Description | The calculated average number of procedures performed by practitioners being the overall number of procedures divided by the number of practitioners involved. This measure can be used as a basis for comparing the relative productivity of individual healthcare practitioners. It is important, however, to ensure that the nature of the procedures included in such analysis is comparable. Comparing the number od major surgeries performed by a heart surgeon against an average procedure count based on large volume data such as lab tests performed has little analytical value. Formula: [A/B] (see dependencies and their labels for measures used in the formula) |

Description | A count of the number relative value units (RVU) equivalent to the healthcare procedures performed. RVUs allow procedures of different scale and complexity to be compared by attributing a number of "relative units" to each type of procedure. Therefore a procedure such as a major surgery will have much greater number of relative value units than a simple procedure such as the administration of an annual flu immunization. |
