The Sg2 INSIGHT Clinical Performance Management System delivers analytics and expert-led resources to improve performance today with a focus on changes introduced by health care reform legislation. By tracking key metrics and benchmarking performance against peer hospitals, INSIGHT identifies specific areas of improvement to help mitigate financial risk and enhance clinical integration across the continuum of care.

INSIGHT is based on the Sg2 Systems of CARE^™ methodology and addresses issues such as physician performance, potentially avoidable admissions and patient care handoffs that span inpatient and outpatient settings. Core to INSIGHT is the Sg2 Value Index, a scoring system that evaluates an organization’s clinical performance across all care sites at the enterprise, service line and disease levels.

The Sg2 Value Index is a scoring system designed to help hospitals set performance improvement goals that will bring about measurable change. Scores are derived using key metrics that span the care continuum, including potentially avoidable admissions, length of stay (LOS), cost per case and 30-day readmissions. Monthly updates and 24-month trending analysis track the effectiveness of performance initiatives and provide comparisons against leading practices and peer hospitals in the Sg2 database.

• Forecasting Financial Success
  By raising its Sg2 Value Index, an organization can realize a significant increase in contribution margin. For each Value Index metric, hospitals are ranked across five performance levels, ranging from Distressed to Top. This provides a clear picture of which areas to prioritize for the greatest financial impact.
  
  
• Enhancing Clinical Quality
  INSIGHT provides Value Index scores for key service lines and diseases. This allows hospital leaders to identify performance gaps inside and outside the acute care facility and work with physicians and care teams to more effectively manage the patients with the most significant clinical and financial implications for the organization.
  
  

• Drill-Down Analysis
  INSIGHT provides detailed analytical drill-down reports at the service line, disease and physician levels. This allows you to examine the underlying issues contributing to performance gaps and devise strategies to effect change and make measurable improvements.
  
  
• Performance Reports
  Comprehensive monthly updates and 24-month trending analysis track the effectiveness of performance initiatives and provide comparisons against leading practices and peer hospitals in the Sg2 database. Monthly INSIGHT reports analyze a wide range of supporting metrics, such as avoidable ED visits and 30-day readmissions, to determine the root causes of performance issues.
