AFMS –CHCS Provider File % of Total Error/Discrepancy By Error Type- Jul 2009
New and Improved ProcessProvider File Detail Data Base • Data Quality Contract Personnel developed the following approach • Smartronix sub to PSI • Central DSS Provider File pull from each MTF CHCS • Automated query identified potential errors/improvement opportunities • Results exported into an Access database • Produces a “Detail Report” for each facility • Actionable listing of MTF specific entries requiring attention • Enables MTF to use limited resources on problem resolution • Drillable to focus efforts on recent activity • Generates a MTF “Provider File Report Card” • Sample on next slide
Volume and error types will dictate cleanup strategies Peer Group Comparison
