los_ra_index_summary_tbl: Make LOS and Readmit Index Summary Tibble

Description

Create the length of stay and readmit index summary tibble

Usage

los_ra_index_summary_tbl(
  .data,
  .max_los = 15,
  .alos_col,
  .elos_col,
  .readmit_rate,
  .readmit_bench
)

Value

A tibble

Arguments

.data

The data you are going to analyze.

.max_los

You can give a maximum LOS value. Lets say you typically do not see los over 15 days, you would then set .max_los to 15 and all values greater than .max_los will be grouped to .max_los

.alos_col

The Average Length of Stay column

.elos_col

The Expected Length of Stay column

.readmit_rate

The Actual Readmit Rate column

.readmit_bench

The Expected Readmit Rate column

Details

• Expects a tibble

• Expects the following columns and there should only be these 4

  • Length Of Stay Actual - Should be an integer

  • Length Of Stacy Benchmark - Should be an integer

  • Readmit Rate Actual - Should be 0/1 for each record, 1 = readmitted, 0 did not.

  • Readmit Rate Benchmark - Should be a percentage from the benchmark file.

• This will add a column called visits that will be the count of records per length of stay from 1 to .max_los

• The .max_los param can be left blank and the function will default to 15. If this is not a good default and you don't know what it should be then set it to 75 percentile from the stats::quantile() function using the defaults, like so .max_los = stats::quantile(data_tbl$alos)[[4]]

• Uses all data to compute variance, if you want it for a particular time frame you will have to filter the data that goes into the .data argument. It is suggested to use timetk::filter_by_time()

• The index is computed as the excess of the length of stay or readmit rates over their respective expectations.
