Practice: Overview
What It Is
Practice provides you with an honest 360 view of your practice as an individual clinician, ranging from metrics on the care you provide, to metrics and other features surrounding how you are compensated, referral opportunities, and coding and denial patterns by using the real-world data tied to your NPI.
Clinical Use Case
Practice gives you visibility into your practice patterns that live outside of the EHR and other systems. Continuously updating data surfaces personalized information to learn where your care is strong, where patterns are shifting, and opportunities to improve, all against peers in your specialty who treat similar patient populations.
Key Capabilities
- Spotlights: Weekly system-generated highlights surfacing Metrics where you statistically stand out the most, no configuration required.
- Care tab: Provide a view into the care you give, clinical quality and improving care quality.
- Metrics cards: Specialty-specific performance indicators across clinical, quality, productivity, financial, and compensation categories tied to your real-world NPI data.
- Drill-Down View: Time trends, peer comparisons, patient cohort breakdowns by age, sex, race, and insurance type, and top diagnosis patterns for any selected Metric.
- Metric Favorites: Select and prioritize the Metrics most relevant to your specialty and practice style.
- Financial Optimization tab: Improve your financial compensation or position with Metrics featuring coding patterns, referral visibility, and compensation benchmarking.
- Referrals: Inbound and outbound referral relationships derived from claims data, including average time from referral to completed encounter and estimated revenue (Pro).
- Peer benchmarking against specialty matched cohorts.
- Time Trend Analysis: Monthly or annual views to track how patterns shift over time.
How To Access
Practice is accessible from the main navigation bar in Jiro, found on the left hand side of the browser or bottom on the iOS app. Select the Practice tab to open the interface and view your Spotlights, Metrics, and Referrals.
Upon entering Practice, Spotlights are available at the top of the page, with Metrics surfaced based on your selected specialty shown in the Clinical tab. Compensation Metrics and Referrals can be found under the Financial tab.
Important To Remember
- Practice data is derived from claims and reflects billed encounters only. Activities that were not billed to a payer are not captured.
- Clinicians with smaller patient panels may see more volatile Metric values or may not see certain Metrics until sufficient data accumulates.
- Referrals are tracked when you are listed on the referral as the referrer, or when you receive the referral and have someone else as a referrer on that claim.
- Pharmacy data relies on NDC code mappings, which may be incomplete for some drug categories.
- Certain patients are excluded from Metric calculations by design, for example, patients who passed away or were hospitalized during the measurement period are removed from the denominator, these can be seen in specific Metric calculation rules.
- Peer benchmarking is based on your primary specialty, it is important to select the right specialty to be benchmarked against. If you practice across multiple specialties, the benchmark may not reflect your full clinical scope.
- Your number of patients may appear off if you are attending as claims may be attributed to you even though you were not the performing clinician.
- The same applies if you are a fellow or resident, claims may not be attributed to you even though you were the performer, these claims may be attributed to the attending.
