The Truven Health Analytics 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals study identifies hospitals that achieve the best performance on a scorecard of performance measures. This year, based on comparisons between the winners and a peer group of similar high-volume hospitals that were not winners, the study found that if all cardiovascular providers performed at the level of this year’s winners, approximately 9,500 additional patients could survive, more than $1 billion could be saved, and almost 3,000 additional bypass and angioplasty patients could be complication-free. This is based on an analysis of Medicare patients; if the same standards were applied to all inpatients, the impact would be even greater.

As the healthcare industry shifts focus from volume to value, standardization is needed to accurately benchmark labor resource utilization. This is the premise of a survey conducted by HealthLeaders Media and sponsored by Kronos. What constitutes direct patient care? Hands-on patient assessment, administering medications, and performing procedures clearly top the list. But can other activities be considered direct care too—even those not conducted in a patient’s presence? Download the free report to get statistics and analysis from the survey questions below and much more - Which of the following actions are considered direct patient care in your organization? - Which of the following actions are considered indirect patient care in your organization? - Which of the following actions are considered neither direct nor indirect care but are categorized separately as non-patient care in your organization?

In October 2013, S&P Dow Jones Indices (S&P DJI) launched the S&P Healthcare Claims Indices (the indices). This new index series is designed to provide an independent, timely measure of the changes in healthcare expenditures and utilization for individuals enrolled in commercial health insurance plans in the United States. S&P DJI developed these new indices in conjunction with healthcare professionals at Health Index Advisors (HIA), a joint venture between the premier actuarial and consulting firms Aon Inc. and Milliman Inc. S&P DJI combined its knowledge and experience in developing leading indices with HIA’s experience in the healthcare market to develop the first index series of its kind, based on actual healthcare claims data. These indices seek to increase transparency in the healthcare market and enable the analysis and tracking of changes in healthcare expenditures.

The shift to value-based care creates a sharp increase in healthcare organizations and networks’ need for data collection, aggregation and analysis.

Teleworking has grown 115% in the past decade, according to the Society for Human Resources. However, in 2017, a number of large employers made headlines by abandoning their telework initiatives, citing the desire to improve communication, collaboration and teamwork. This move was surprising to many for two reasons: • Nearly three-quarters of millennials express a desire to have more opportunities to work remotely1. • Employers can save $11,000 per half-time telecommuter2. Do employees who work remotely feel less recognized, exhibit lower engagement levels or experience less attention from their manager? To find out, we conducted a regression analysis on our 2018 survey of 5,000 employees nationwide. The results presented on the following pages may surprise you.
