Dexur's Unified Healthcare Quality, Safety, Risk & Incident Software Solutions, Features & Capabilities

Dexur's comprehensive features, modules and capabilities include:
  • Comprehensive Program-to-Case Analysis: Offering a top-to-bottom view that starts with a cross-program overview (including CMS Star Rating, Leapfrog, VBP, HRRP), then delves into specific programs (such as CMS Star Rating), further narrows down to individual domains (like Readmissions), and finally drills down to specific measures (e.g., COPD Readmissions), culminating in detailed insights at the case/event/encounter level. This approach provides a granular, holistic perspective of performance, facilitating targeted interventions and improvements.

  • Predictions and Guidance: Hospitals will receive forecasts and advice for their CMS Star Ratings, HRRP, Leapfrog, VBP, MSPB, and other measures, looking one to three years ahead. This forward-looking perspective is crucial for strategic planning and improvement.

  • Commercial Payor Program Analytics: Dexur provides analytics for programs associated with commercial payors such as Blues and Anthem. These insights include performance benchmarking, cost analysis, and quality metrics, enabling healthcare organizations to optimize outcomes and align with payor-specific requirements for value-based care programs.

  • Simulations: Both manual and AI-powered simulations will be provided, offering pathways to achieving a CMS 5-Star Rating, improving Leapfrog scores, avoiding HRRP penalties, and maximizing VBP payouts. These simulations allow hospitals to explore various scenarios and outcomes.

  • Insight Generation: Automated insights and early warning alerts regarding quality measures will be generated. This feature helps hospitals proactively manage their performance metrics and implement timely improvements.

  • Advanced Patient/Encounter Review: Improve care outcomes with Dexur’s advanced chart review tools. Analyze risk factors contributing to avoidable readmissions and mortalities, providing clinical teams with actionable insights for reducing these events. These reviews also support peer review processes by identifying key areas for intervention and improving hospital performance on critical measures like CMS Star Ratings and HRRP penalties.

  • Dashboards and Reporting Software: Consolidating all relevant measures (such as readmission rates, mortality, HCAHPS) will be provided in one place. Additionally, tracking of disparate data sources will be facilitated to measure progress against goals and actions, offering a comprehensive view of performance.

  • Post-Acute Care Analytics, Benchmarks, and Care Coordination: Dexur provides insights and benchmarks for Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs), Home Health Agencies (HHAs), and other post-acute care settings, enabling coordination across the continuum of care and linking performance metrics to patient outcomes.

  • Benchmarks and Percentiles Based on Claims and Hospital-Submitted Data: Dexur uses sourced claims and hospital-submitted data to create percentile rankings, supporting comparative performance analysis and identifying areas for improvement.

  • Infection Prevention Analytics: Dexur provides detailed population attributes and sub-cohort analytics to track infection rates and their impact on specific patient groups. These insights enable healthcare providers to address disparities, ensure compliance with regulatory standards, and develop strategies to minimize healthcare-associated infections, improving overall program performance.

  • Patient Experience Analytics: Dexur analyzes HCAHPS and other patient experience metrics with a focus on detailed population attributes and sub-cohort analytics. This approach identifies variations in patient satisfaction across demographics and clinical characteristics, providing actionable insights to enhance engagement and improve program performance outcomes.

  • Health Equity Reporting: Gain actionable insights with Dexur’s comprehensive Health Equity reports. Track and analyze disparities in care across different patient demographics, ensuring compliance with CMS and other regulatory guidelines while promoting fair and equitable healthcare delivery.

  • Episode Costs Analytics: Empower your CMS team with Dexur’s episode cost analytics to identify and address cost drivers across the care continuum, including inpatient stays, SNF episodes, and outpatient services. These insights help optimize Medicare Spending per Beneficiary (MSPB), reduce costs, and improve outcomes under programs like VBP, ensuring financial and quality performance.

  • Goal Setting: Hospitals can set realistic and strategic goals based on target program performance and organizational priorities. This alignment ensures that teams are focused and coordinated in their efforts to achieve improvements.

  • Evidence-based Quality Management: Dexur's platform will track actions and interventions to confirm their effectiveness in meeting set goals. This approach ensures that the measures taken are data-driven and result-oriented.

  • Risk Factor Identification: Dexur’s technology automatically identifies risk factors impacting quality measures. This capability allows for more nuanced and targeted interventions.

  • Best Practices: Hospitals will have access to expert-curated research and best practices for enhancing quality outcomes. This knowledge base is crucial for informed decision-making and adopting proven strategies for quality improvement.

  • Incident and Case Management: Implementing a robust system for tracking and managing incidents and cases, enabling hospitals to efficiently identify, investigate, and resolve risk, quality, and safety issues. This system ensures compliance with regulatory requirements, facilitates continuous improvement, and enhances overall patient safety and care quality.

  • Chart Abstraction Module: Dexur's chart abstraction software enhances its data-driven unified platform, offering hospitals a comprehensive solution for quality and risk management. This integration advances healthcare management by streamlining data abstraction, improving operational efficiency, and providing deep data-driven insights for better compliance and performance in programs like CMS Star Rating and Value-Based Purchasing.

  • Peer Review Integration with OPPE/FPPE: Enhance peer review processes through Dexur’s integrated OPPE/FPPE tools. Align readmission and mortality case reviews with broader performance metrics, including CMS Star Ratings and HRRP, to ensure that physician evaluations contribute to hospital-wide quality improvement efforts and compliance with national standards.

  • Dexur’s Care Transition and Post-Acute Collaboration: Platform provides hospitals with real-time visibility into SNF, Home Health, and Hospice patient progress post-discharge. The tool enables Post-Acute Care (PAC) providers to update patient status, integrate data into hospital EHRs, and leverage automated alerts and analytics to reduce readmissions and mortality while ensuring CMS compliance. Hospitals benefit from cost savings, improved coordination, and stronger PAC relationships, while PAC providers gain efficiency, more referrals, and better patient outcomes.
