Enhancement Software

Enhancement Software

As ENHANCEMENT software, ACMI enhances the user’s ability to access and analyze every data field or virtually any combination of fields in the databases in seconds.

The software does not touch existing data systems but instead reads ASCII (text) files generated from the databases.

The ACMI software creates meaningful and easy-to-read output, incorporating Medicare codes and titles.

The software will:

  • Process multiple years of databases
  • Process multiple kinds of databases (e.g., inpatient, outpatient, etc.)
  • Accept extraneous file input for searching, matching and selection

Drilldown (the command):

  • Allows an unlimited number of drill downs to get more detailed information or combinations of information
  • Lets users print data values to the screen for any data fields for any individual records
  • Gives users a method of finding possible problem areas

Patented Software

Patented Software

ACMI’s U.S. Patent (No. 7,433,880) was granted for a “method and system for high speed encoding, processing and decoding of data”.

The ACMI software runs with blazing speed to:

  • Process one million Medicare type records in approximately one second
  • Access every data field specified by the users
  • Get fast answers to “What if” and “Why not” questions

ACMI SOFTWARE FEATURES

STATISTICS:

  • NUMBER – The count or frequency.
  • MEAN – The TOTAL divided by the NUMBER (average).
  • TOTAL – The sum.
  • S.D. (STANDARD DEVIATION) – Indicates the variability of the data. Large standard deviations indicate more variability.
  • R by C Table (r x c) – Uses a chi-square to test the independence of rows and columns.
  • ANOVA (One-Way Analysis of Variance) – Uses the F statistic to test the homogeneity of a set of means.

 

AD HOC

(you specify)

AD HOC lets you choose how to access and analyze any data in your databases on your desktop with immediate follow-up runs to analyze any areas in your output that generate questions.

RANKING

RANKING gives you the option of ranking your days or charges output by number, mean, total or standard deviation. Rank by “TOP” or “ALL”:

  • TOP” creates a line of output for the top (ranked) number of levels you specify. ACMI sorts and ranks the result for every value of the data field you choose and outputs any number of lines you request, e.g., TOP 25.

 

  • ALL” creates a line of output for every distinct code of the data field you choose.  ACMI sorts and ranks the result for every value of the data field and outputs a line for every code.

INCIDENCE

INCIDENCE of Diagnoses or Procedures searches all of the Diagnosis or Procedure fields coded in each record for a match.

 DRILL DOWN

DRILL DOWN gets more information on records in any line of your output. Only those records in the line you select are used in subsequent output. Multiple drill downs are allowed. You may drill down to individual records.
