Without taking this uncertainty into account, we cannot conclude that a hospital with a measure rate that is higher or lower than the group rate is truly performing at a worse or better rate than the group. Statisticians use confidence intervals to account for this uncertainty.

  • Emergency Behavioral Health Services
    ALERT #24 ___________________ October 5, 2007 EMERGENCY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES PROGRAMS AND HOSPITAL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS FOR MBHP MEMBERS AND UNINSURED CONSUMERS The following information should be communicated immediately to other appropriate staff in your organization. The Massachusetts Behavioral Health Partnership (MBHP) is the company that manages behavioral health (mental health and substance abuse) services for MassHealth’s Primary Care Clinician (PCC) Plan Members*. Additionally, MBHP is contracted with the Department of Mental Health to manage most of the Emergency Services Programs (ESPs) across the Commonwealth. In that role, MBHP is issuing this Alert to hospital Emergency Departments (EDs), MBHP network providers, and other interested stakeholders in order to provide clarification and guidance relative to the management of behavioral health emergencies in the ED setting. More specifically, this Alert delineates the roles and responsibilities of the Emergency Services Programs (ESPs) and describes an individual’s progression through this system, with a goal of expediting his or her movement through the hospital ED and into acute behavioral health services, as medically necessary. ESPs function as a “safety net” for all citizens of the Commonwealth regardless of age, payer, or ability to pay. It is important to note that the policies and procedures in this Alert applies to those populations for whom the ESPs are contracted with MBHP to serve, which includes MBHP members, MassHealth (non-MCO enrolled) Members, uninsured consumers, and DMH consumers. However, it is also important to note that MassHealth also requires the four Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) contracted with MassHealth to utilize the ESP system for emergency behavioral health services for MassHealth MCO enrolled Members.

  • Massachusetts Hospital Profiles Technical Appendix Data Through Fiscal Year 2014
    CENTER FOR HEALTH INFORMATION AND ANALYSIS MASSACHUSETTS HOSPITAL PROFILES TECHNICAL APPENDIX DATA THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 2014 NOVEMBER 2015 CHIA center for health information and analysis Technical Appendix Overview Acute and non-acute hospitals included in Massachusetts Hospital Profiles- Data through Fiscal Year 2014 were profiled on service, payer mix, quality, utilization, revenue, and financial performance. Multi- acute hospital systems were profiled based on financial performance and utilization metrics. Details for each of these metrics are included in this technical appendix. The Center for Health Information and Analysis (CHIA) relied on the following primary data sources to present financial information: the DHCFP-403 Annual Hospital Cost Report (403 Cost Report), the Hospital Discharge Database (HDD), the Hospital Standardized Financial Statement Database, and Audited Financial Statements. Unless otherwise noted, metrics included in this report are based on financial data reported by acute and non-acute hospitals from Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 to FY14. Discharge data from FY14 included in the acute hospital analysis was reported by acute hospitals in the Hospital Discharge Database, unless otherwise noted. Descriptive acute and non-acute hospital information is from FY14. Hospital 403 Cost Report: The 403 Cost Report is submitted each year by acute and non-acute hospitals and it contains data on costs, revenues, and utilization statistics. Acute hospitals are required to complete the 403 Cost Report based on a fiscal year end of September 30 regardless of their actual fiscal year end. Non-acute hospitals complete the 403 Cost Report based on their actual year end. Hospital Discharge Database (HDD): HDD data is submitted quarterly by acute hospitals and it contains patient-level data identifying charges, days, and diagnostic information for all acute inpatient discharges.
