PDGM Analytics
PDGM analytics is the use of data and reporting to manage agency performance under the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM), Medicare's home health payment system of 30-day periods and 432 case-mix groups. It connects clinical and operational decisions, such as coding accuracy, OASIS scoring, and visit scheduling, to their payment and margin consequences at the period level.
