The IDS Physician Activity Tracker (PAT) PAT is the operational planning component of IDS Planner. PAT creates a comprehensive representation of physician activity and the systemic implications of that activity on a near real-time basis to support proactive error correction, decision making and more accurate activity and financial forecasting. Physician Activity Tracker components include:
- Daily Activity Tracker – Connects to scheduling, EMR and billing systems to collect activity, referral and financial information by case and by physician. It includes a facility for easy physician activity checks and modifications, and a system for communicating error corrections to downstream activities, such as billing and scheduling.
- Physician Reporting Services – Provides near real-time feedback to physicians to help them understand the consequences of their activity on the integrated delivery system, from operational and financial perspectives. Physicians can modify their treatment plans to maximize quality of care, while minimizing cost of care delivery. Key reports include:
>> Daily P&L by physician, sub-specialty and practice
>> Performance tracking (MTD, QTD, YTD) and forecasts (month, year)
>> Drill-down into key P&L drivers such as cost and revenue per case
