What is a
Clinical KPI Dashboard
? Clinical Dashboards are considered operational analysis tools and are used by hospital executives to track important patient management metrics. Some of the main functionality in this type of dashboard is that it provides analysis from these six perspectives: 1) Number of admissions per Diagnostic Related Group (DRG), 2) Number of readmissions by DRG, 3) Average charge by DRG, 4) Monthly trend in admissions and readmissions, 5) Average length of stay (ALOS), and 6) Count by patient type. You find an example of this type of dashboard below.
Purpose of
Clinical Dashboard
s Healthcare organizations use Clinical Dashboards to monitor essential patient statists and metrics. When used as part of good business practices in executive departments, an organization can improve its efficiency and patient-related improvement strategies, and it can reduce the chances that leaders miss key trends or anomalies, resulting in sub-par decision-making.

Where Does the Data for Analysis Originate From?

In analyses where budgets or forecasts are used, the planning data most often originates from in-house Excel spreadsheet models or from professional corporate performance management (CPM/EPM) solutions.
What Tools are Typically used for Reporting, Planning and Dashboards? Examples of business software used with the data and ERPs mentioned above are:
- Native ERP report writers and query tools
- Spreadsheets (for example Microsoft Excel)
