Gastroenterology EHR Data Analytics: The Top 12 Reports Every Practice or ASC Needs

Using ERW or EHR Data for GI Analytics

KPIs help practice administrators understand how their business is performing at any given time, so they can make informed decisions. Gastroenterology data analytics can also measure quality at a patient level and a procedure level, helping administrators see where there are opportunities to improve. Yet, many gastroenterology offices and ASCs lack the resources, including staff and integrated software, to analyze the data across all aspects of the business. Instead, they are left to put the pieces (i.e., spreadsheets) together. 

ERW and EHR data analytics can give gastroenterology practices and ASCs greater visibility into this information, so they can investigate cause-effect relationships, compare their data to CMS benchmarks, and more importantly, use the information to enact change in workflows and processes, and adjust strategies and goals. 

How so? Let’s take a look at some of the top reports and gastroenterology KPIs used across the industry and how the data can be utilized.

Financial gastroenterology reports

Month-End Financial Reports

These reports provide standard financial reporting for month-end review. With the ability to analyze your financial production, you can gain clarity on the financial health of the practice and can observe trends month over month to make business decisions.

Expected Receivables Report

As a healthcare provider or organization, you want to understand aging receivables based on insurance fee schedules, so you can prioritize billing workflow and predict month-end finances. 

Collection Report

Gain insight into the outstanding patient amount that is about to be sent to collections. Such a report allows you to see how much of your AR can be written off, for a more realistic view. Ideally, it would also include new collection guidelines from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to help facilitate compliance and understanding.

Underpayment Report

Collect what you are owed! Analyze the expected payment amount versus the amount paid so that any variances can be tracked and adjusted as needed, based on the contracted rate.

Collecting data about gastro health: clinical reports

In-Depth Colon Report 

Track various clinical KPIs specific to colonoscopies, such as the adenoma detection rate, and analyze trends.

In-Depth Procedure Report

Understand and track complication rate and type (such as bleeding) as well as ASA classes of sedation.

IBD Reporting Dashboard

View IBD patient data, including Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis and indeterminate colitis, so you can identify a specific group of IBD patients by ICD code, evaluate medication lists and more.

Operational gastroenterology reports

Appointment Report

Track current numbers and last year to date for comparison and insight into practice growth or decline.

Appointment Flow

View appointments over time to track scheduling productivity overall and by location and user.

Tasking Report

Track end-user productivity, including average hours to view and average hours to complete.

Recall Report

Help facilitate patient compliance with a high-level picture of patient colonoscopy recalls, versus entering each individual patient record.

Patient by Referral Source

Quickly and easily identify referral sources for your practice or endoscopy center and monitor referral trends by referring provider and for each practice/center location.
