Building Final Distribution Data
The end goal is the creation of highly accurate and complete medical data sets for research, sale, and/or
redistribution by the state agency. From simple raw data to complex solutions that include reports and
analysis tools, read on to discover our approach to your final packaged solution.
Our purpose and commitment is to provide you with a clean and accurate final data set. This is most commonly
a "quarterly" data set. System13 produces this as a last step after all data has been collected, processed,
corrected, and finally packaged for shipment. State agencies commonly pursue these data sets for research,
distribution, and/or resale purposes.
Common Final Data Set Options
- Grouper Processing - Many agencies will coordinate with System13 to run popular grouper products
over the
final data.
- Calculated Fields - System13 often includes calculated fields in completed data sets.
- Charge Categorization - It is common to present charges rolled up into categories defined by the
state
agency.
- Distribution Options - Data can be distributed via hard media or secure download.
- Analysis Reports and Tools - System13 can include reports and analysis tools, along with the final
data,
back to the state agency, or even individual facilities, depending on how the agency would like to
have final
data packaged for distribution.
