mcc/cc capture rate

Dear Collegues,

I think I have read somewhere recently where there is a benchmark for
CC/MCC capture rate? Does anyone know of this ? thanks!

  • Please take a look at this ACDIS Blog post:
    http://blogs.hcpro.com/acdis/2012/11/tip-use-ipps-data-for-your-cdi-program-benchmarking/

    Overall, a secondary dx (cc or mcc) is present on 52.1% of all cases.
    There is an MCC present 29.9%

  • You can see where you land on your PEPPER report. I also get a breakdown by DRG from our consulting company. From our last report from our consulting company has the overall capture rates for 80% benchmark being 33% for MCC and 29% for CC for medical patients and 25% for MCC and 33% for CC's for surgical.

    Hope that helps :)

    Don,
    Those numbers are different from what I was given. We're 250-300 beds and our overall MCC capture *benchmark* is 45% with overall CC benchmark rate of 60%. Surgical MCC/CC capture rates are a little different. But my benchmarks are only based on Traditional Medicare numbers, so maybe that's the difference?? Any suggestions, comments? Thanks in advance:)

  • It would be more helpful if we could compare ourselves to similar types of hospitals as benchmarks - you could purchase MedPar Data and try that approach.

    The PEPPER reports are crude and do not adjust for size of institution.

    We are a large hospital with Stroke Certification, so our incidence of TIA/DRG is 'beyond' the 8th percentile for others in the nation; but, we are being compared to every site in the USA and it is not relevant to compare our CC/ MCC rate or other such data to a 25-bed hospital in a small Midwestern city.

  • I agree that it is best to compare towards similar hospitals. Depends on what tools & data are available. (we compare ourselves to similar hospitals through the UHC collaborative data set).

    The numbers I offered were for the entire acute inpatient medicare data as pulled from the IPPS final rule -- and thus has limitations for comparison. The advantage is the data is available to everyone and has no cost to purchase.
    I'd take and translate (in my head anyway) by deciding where I'd expect my facility to be -- am I a large, academic medical center? If so, then capture should be higher.

    Thanks Don!
    We get our numbers from a consulting firm so it's always interesting to me to see what other people's numbers are/how they get them, etc. It would be nice to have a "hands-on, bring your laptop and follow along and input your own data" conference session on how to find and figure the data for one's own facility - hint, hint, wink, wink

    **And I am as serious as a DRG 280 on that suggestion :o)

  • Kathy,

    great use of your PEPPER report. It is a valuable tool to determine areas of insufficient documentation for education and focus. Our consulting company also gives us a report comparing to like size/focus facilities and how we are functioning. We also do an internal audit of our reports to compare montkly how we are focusing on the areas we cover and level of questions posed/agreed upon. We rotate assignments quarterly so it gives us an idea when we return to a specific area how well the teaching was carried forward and if succeeding CDIs reaped the benefit of teaching by decreased queries for same topic by physicians.
