Studying Outcomes
Over time, cost analyses are also performed. The ideal study period
for cost savings studies is six months after the intervention; therefore,
a time lag is required between the intervention and the cost savings
study for the study to be valid. The methodology used for the analysis
is that promulgated by HFCA in their 1994 report, “Guidelines
for Estimating the Impact of Medicaid DUR.”
DURBase® Version 3 is used to study long term trends and RxExplorer™,
HID’s proprietary Data Analysis and Decision Support tool,
is used as the data mining tool to study specific ad hoc concerns.
Standard monthly and quarterly reports are generated on a periodic
schedule and a virtually infinite number of queries and reports
are available whenever the client wishes. These reports cover every
aspect of RDUR activities and provide the material required to complete
the annual CMS reports.
