LastPatient Insights

Coming later

Ask your practice’s data a question.

Insights will let you ask open questions across past visits and whole patient journeys, clinical and business alike. “How efficient is my billing?” “How many patients scheduled for surgery never have it, and why?” “Who’s been waiting more than 30 days?” “What’s my most common implant size for shoulder replacements?” Answers come from the defined variables, so nobody pulls charts.

Your practice, rolled up on demandA search bar cycles through a surgeon’s questions, such as how many knee replacements they did this year or who didn’t come back for a follow-up. The variables each question uses light up. Individual cases then appear one by one, as dots dropping into columns, squares in a grid or circles on a timeline, and roll up into an answer: monthly bars with a rising trend, a grid of visits sorted to show the share that ended in surgery, missed follow-ups pulled into a list to call, or bars by procedure against last year. Each ends with a plain verdict. All values are illustrative.EVERY CASE YOU’VE DOCUMENTED, ROLLED UP

Questions you’ll be able to ask

Open questions, across every visit and patient journey.

  • Practice

    • “How many new patients went on to surgery?”
    • “Which orders are still open, and for how long?”
    • “What’s our case mix by surgeon this quarter?”
  • Clinical

    • “What’s my most common implant size for shoulder replacements?”
    • “How often do I use an anterior approach for hip replacements?”
  • Care pathways

    • “Are my patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy improving with PT the way I’d expect?”
    • “Which of my patients meet this trial’s criteria?”

And plenty more. If it was captured at the visit, you’ll be able to ask about it.

Ask

  • Most common implant size for shoulder replacements?
  • New patients who went on to surgery?
  • Orders open more than two weeks?

What it does

Answers that come from the visit itself.

Questions in plain words

Ask across past visits and whole patient journeys, the way you’d ask a colleague. You won’t need an analyst or a report request.

Orders, scheduling and case mix

Every order followed from the visit to the result, and every case from the decision to operate to the OR date. Plus CPT volume (the codes procedures are billed under) and case mix by surgeon, procedure and location.

Counted from confirmed variables

The answers will come from variables the surgeon confirmed before the note closed, so they match what was actually done. No one pulls a chart.

Insights describes what happened across your patients. LastPatient Research estimates why, and what would have happened under a different decision.

In practice

An EMG was ordered, then never scheduled.

At one practice, order tracking flagged it before it went missing for weeks. Time to surgery went from about three months to about one.

Insights will surface catches like that across every open order.

  1. Visit, EMG ordered
  2. Order never scheduled
  3. Flagged by order tracking
  4. Surgery
