Ascender P4P Module Helps Physician Groups Improve Patient Care and Maximize P4P Bonuses

 Ascender is a complete application suite that collects, computes, reports, and helps manage the clinical measurements for California’s Pay for Performance (P4P) initiative for physician groups. Ascender seamlessly combines clinical data from different sources to calculate denominators, numerators, and exclusions for all P4P measures.

Data views are simple to read and easy to navigate. Summary data shows the overall percentage of compliant patients for each P4P measure by department, facility, provider, or any other grouping you define. This powerful tool also allows individual physicians to drill down to see compliance at the individual patient level.

Ascender, equipped with the P4P and CM Modules, can be used to create and manage patient communication by creating call lists and mailings based on your standards of care. With the Ascender CM Module, reports can be run to show performance metrics for your entire patient population, not just those in the P4P denominator.

 

Ascender supports integration with most major administrative data systems, pharmacy systems, and laboratory data systems (either real-time interfaces or batch data from CD’s).
 

Ascender goes beyond self-reporting clinical measures at the end of the year. Reports can be viewed throughout the measurement year. Data compiles can be scheduled weekly or monthly, with new data views generated using current source data. This type of regular measurement of and feedback on clinical metrics for individual physicians can lead to additional P4P bonuses. Physician groups can use this feedback to proactively affect their P4P scores during the year and to create significant improvements in patient care.
