Measure Personnel Performance

Drive the highest possible outcome by delivering the right evaluations to the right people with one of the most robust evaluation creation and delivery modules available.

A system that casts a wide net by delivering multiple evaluations in hopes that a percentage of them reach the intended target, is a poorly designed system. The result is faculty frustration with a system that delivers evaluations of trainees they never saw. This leads to low outcomes and faculty resistance to log in to the system at all.

MedHub employs multiple methods of evaluation delivery that result in highly accurate delivery by schedule. Accurate evaluation delivery, in turn, builds confidence in the system delivering them and drives outcomes higher because users are not wasting their time deleting improperly delivered evaluations that do not apply.

Evaluation Creation

Not only are evaluations simple to create in MedHub, the flexibility with which options can be added makes any form extremely powerful. MedHub has a standard “library” of answer types ranging from Likert scales, true/false, yes/no, short answer, comments, long answer, etc. Any scale not part of that list can be easily added and even limited to that residency program using it.

Questions can be tagged as required or elective and question can be associated with an ACGME competency for future reporting. Low score thresholds can be automatically set up for single, multiple or all questions within a form that will automatically generate an alert to the residents program coordinator, program director and/or faculty mentor. Forms once created, can be “shared” with other residency programs.

Some of the evaluation creation features include:

• Simple-to-use evaluation creation “wizard”
• Supports standard evaluation forms
• Over 26 different evaluation types including: patient evaluations of faculty/resident/student, self evaluations,
• Setting for faculty or trainees to initiate on-the-fly evaluations

Generate IRIS Reports

Quickly generate an accurate IRIS diskette using MedHub’s intuitive IRIS tool.

The workflow process ensures that the data is error checked by both the GME Office and programs prior to reporting. Scheduling data is locked once the IRIS generation process has begun. All future updates must be made through Finance and detained audit trails are maintained. In addition, MedHub maintains both the residency and medical school code lists, so you can be sure that all lookup information is up-to-date.

MedHub can and does handle multiple cost reports for the same institution. And in some cases, certain Medhub clients generate the cost report for other institutions under their global umbrella. MedHub also has a function to allow non-MedHub clients that are affiliated with a MedHub client to upload their IRIS data and have MedHub check the data across multiple institutions for overlaps.

MedHub also has an optional login for fiscal intermediaries with all salient documentation in one place, separated by fiscal year and encourages FI’s to audit the rotational data directly back to the source information. This leads to reduced conflicts and complete transparency.

Features:

• Allows generation of IRIS for multiple Cost Reports

Billing

• MedHub has developed multiple billing functions into its system.

Affiliated Institutional Billing:

MedHub workflow effectively manages intricate and complex billing functions between the MedHub client and billed affiliates. Billed affiliates are defined at the global level through an institutional “site list” , then trainee billing rates can be determined to highly specific levels of details (PGY, Chief, trainees on visa, etc.).

MedHub is “smart enough” to know when an off-cycle trainee has changed their PGY level within a period in which the bill is generated and properly calculate the trainee rate before and after the level change. All bills can be completely audited back to rotational data through the MedHub “where worked” approach to rotational activity. In some cases, VA hospitals at which our residents train accept MedHub data as accurate an complete – thus reducing or eliminating their VA timekeeping system.

Internal Institutional Billing:

For some of our clients, Medhub has built highly specific internal institutional billing processes that reimburse programs via internal funding sources as determine by GME. Trainee activity can be parsed to an almost infinite level of detail based upon activity and merged with different funding sources (grant funded, etc.). Medhub handles the disbursement from the appropriate funding sources to the programs based upon the specific rotational activities of its trainees.

Track Trainee Hours

Take a proactive, rather than a reactive, stance around work hour documentation with MedHub’s comprehensive work hour module (also available in the mobile app).

Not only do our largest academic teaching hospitals achieve an extraordinarily high percentage of weekly documentation by trainees, violations tend to be reduced through proactive notifications for potential violations before they actually occur.

In order to achieve a high percentage of participation for work hour documentation, we understand it is important to have a process that is both highly effective yet unobtrusive. Because MedHub does not drive institutional Medicare reimbursement through work hour documentation, trainees are not burdened by numerous obstacles preventing them from simply documenting hours.

Our member institutions also tend to leverage most MedHub functionality beyond just work hour documentation meaning trainees are typically already using MedHub on a daily basis for other tasks. This enhances work hour documentation outcomes over systems only used for one or two tasks.

The MedHub work hour module provides alerts to residency coordinators and program directors when residents log ‘potential violations’ – while there is still time to do something about it. Automatic calculations against 2011 ACGME work hour regulations ensure residents, the residency program and the institution have real-time information that ensures a high level of compliance. Comprehensive reporting at the program and enterprise level flag potential problems before they become issues.

Detailed monitoring and workflow of internal and external moonlighting and Program Director review is also part of MedHub streamlined workflow.

Features of the MedHub work hour module include:

• Easy-to-use intuitive “time sheet” interface
• New graphical input interface with sliding scale
• Automatic reminders for late/incomplete work hours
• Automatic real-time calculations against ACGME regulations
• Ability to pre-populate standard activities (rotations, shift/calls and continuity clinics)
