Answer 1

Explain why case-mix analysis should be performed by health care facilities. List other types of analysis performed by health care facilities?

• The importance of case-mix analysis lies in calculating the average cost per patient for a given hospital relative to the adjusted average cost for all the other hospitals with the help of dividing the average cost per patients by some of the hospitals who have already calculated their CMI.
• It also helps in increasing the accuracy and specificity of certain health care facilities which will be helpful for the organization as a whole.
• The case-mix analysis also increases the efficiency of the annual updates that are being made to the DRG(Diagnosis Related Group) relative to the weights.

Hence, these are the reasons why case-mix analysis is being performed by the health care facilities.

The list of other analysis performed by health care facilities are as follows:

1. Predictive Analytics
   1. Risk Stratification
   2. Simulations
