Catalyst for Payment Reform

Which is the best hospital in your region for joint replacement surgery?

Over the past year, CPR has developed a customizable Value Index tool to help employers answer the question: What are the highest-value hospitals for joint replacement surgery for my plan members? The Value Index combines cost, quality, and geographic information to score and rank hospitals. Using zip code as the primary input, the Value Index displays the performance of the nearest hospitals and lists high-performing hospitals that may be farther away.

Value Index scores incorporate data from the Leapfrog Group, Turquoise Health, the Health Care Cost Institute, RAND, and CMS. Employers can use this information to power different provider network design strategies, such as Centers of Excellence (COE) and narrow networks, and direct contracting. They can also overlay the Value Index results over their current programs and identify opportunities for improvement.

If you’d like to learn more about this tool and how it may benefit your organization, please complete the form below to schedule a demo of the tool and receive a free report.

If you have further questions, please reach out directly to Kevin Han khan@catalyze.org.

The Value Index Demo Request Form

CPR Members can receive copies of these reports as a member benefit. We can also work with you to interpret and customize the results.

To prepare for your initial demo and report, please use the form below to submit a 5-digit zip code for the geographic focus of your search. If the search is for a surgical facility for an individual patient, then the zip code might be the patient's home or work location. If the search is for a population - for example, all the employees for a company living in a region - then the zip code should be set near the geographic center of the population. In the case of very large or spread-out populations, multiple reports may be necessary to identify a range of options.
