About the National Patient and Procedure Volume Tracker
We will release an updated version of the National Patient and Procedure Volume Tracker on the second Monday of each month. In the report, you can expect to find:
More Data
- Now tracking shifts in payor mix beyond Self Pay
- Added Children’s Hospitals to the data set
New Analytics
- Now reporting on COVID-19 hospitalizations – with one of the largest databases for COVID-19 inpatients
- Added ED and Observation to Inpatient Conversion rates which gauge how hospitals are utilizing those departments
- Service line data now split between Inpatient and Outpatient data
Methodology Adjustments
- Moving to using a six month rolling average to compare recent shifts in volume changes
- Using the UB Revenue Code in the encounter’s charge line item detail to identify encounter as an Inpatient (IP), Emergency (ED), Observation (Obs) or Outpatient (OP) encounter
- More uniform tracking of encounters across hospitals and better tracking of how many emergency room and observation patients convert to inpatients — something we were not able to track previously
