The three tools produce financial returns and estimates unique to each hospital system:
• Marketing services calculator — This calculator highlights potential hospital downstream revenue based on patient call volume. The calculator uses data collected from patients and hospitals to quantify physician referrals, identify patient demographics and determine downstream revenue received for the hospital or health system.
• Emergency department follow-up referral calculator — This calculator estimates the potential financial return for referring ED patients back into the hospital network or available community resources when appropriate.
• Reimbursement exposure calculator — This calculator estimates the exposure and risk for hospitals and health systems based on avoidable readmissions for Medicare heart failure, pneumonia and heart attack patients.
