How HCCs help hospitals

Donna Smith, 3M Consulting Services, discusses how to best assist hospitals with hierarchical condition categories (HCCs): “You can go into a facility and look at one patient across an entire year through clinics, ambulatory surgeries, ED visits, inpatient visits, to capture all the information and then determine how high the risk score is for that particular patient and look to see if there's opportunity to improve.”
