Physician impact analyses show financial impact of a physician changing their device utilization patterns.
Key Facts:
Lumere's solution currently analyzes more than 100 procedures across eight procedure areas and will continue to expand its library of procedure cohorts.
Procedure analysis data includes total device cost per case for a given procedure and physician utilization of medical devices (individually and as compared to functionally similar products).
Analyses can be segmented by facility, procedure, vendor, product type and product brand.
Physician-level analytics map overall device utilization to outcomes data, including length of stay, OR time/cut-to-close, readmissions, as well as surgical site infection.
To date, more than 60 hospitals across the U.S. have employed Lumere's physician-level analytics.
According to Gartner, "supply chain leaders must determine, and invest in, the tools and resources that will arm physicians with the right information to make evidence-based and informed decisions. Medical device selection decisions that are made using incomplete or potentially biased information can increase risks to patient safety and/or care quality."
