cardiac rehab data?
MiCR’s founding partners, BMC2 and MVC, collect and analyze data on cardiac rehab utilization using billed claims and abstracted clinical data. BMC2 and MVC support their respective member hospitals by generating reporting with these data, which help providers benchmark their site’s cardiac rehab metrics against peers and over time. Users of MVC’s claims-based registry can access multi-payer dynamic reports specific to cardiac rehab, with data visualizations for enrollment within 90 days of discharge, mean days to first visit, and mean number of visits. BMC2 and MVC also score their member hospitals on cardiac rehab metrics for BCBSM Pay-for-Performance measures.
