NEW University Healthsystem Consortium Quarterly Webcast Series -- Mortality Models
If you are a member, this seems worth going to the UHC website & looking into.
Don't know if you have membership -- very likely if you are an academic medical center or hospital affiliated with an academic medical center. Member hospitals are listed on the website.

what follows is from UHC:
Introducing a new Webinar series: Mining the Metrics of Risk Models
A series of quarterly educational Webinar presentations that will examine the workings of the UHC Risk Adjustment Models to help members better understand how their administrative clinical data is assessed, risk adjusted and used for reporting in the Clinical Database/ Resource Manager. Each Webinar will focus on specific data elements or ICD-9 codes that have a significant impact on risk adjustment.
Goals & Objectives of the series are to:
- Demonstrate how documentation and coding practice directly influences the administrative data used in benchmarking, performance improvement, and reimbursement
- Encourage accurate, compliant, and consistent documentation and coding practice throughout the UHC membership
- Explain the application of Official Coding Rules & Guidelines in a environment of federal regulations and audits
- Examine how current documentation and coding practice of the membership will impact future UHC Risk Adjustment Models
- Measure improved consistency of coded and reported metrics
May 30th from 12noon-1:30pm CST, the first presentation in the series:
Obesity & Malnutrition/ Palliative Care & DNR
An Introduction to the UHC Webinar Series "Mining the Metrics of Risk Models" will be given as well as a brief re-cap of the UHC Risk Adjustment Models.
We will then turn the focus to the Documenting & Coding of:
- Obesity, Malnutrition & BMI
- End of Life Care:
