Our Priority is Uncovering the Truth
At the heart of our practice lies HMP Metrics - our tailored data analysis and benchmarking platform. It's our secret weapon, empowering us to delve deep into the nitty-gritty of accounting irregularities, audit compliance, enterprise valuation, and more. From uncovering Medicare fraud to scrutinizing claims of lender liability and professional negligence, we leave no stone unturned.
Imagine Metrics as your dynamic, web-based detective, equipped to sift through a treasure trove of data from nearly 700,000 Medicare cost reports. It's like having access to the pulse of almost every hospital, nursing home, health, and hospice provider across the nation. But wait, there's more! Our Metrics database doesn't stop there - it also houses a staggering 25 billion patient claims, census data, socio-economic indicators, and even data from seven other publicly available databases. It's a goldmine of insights waiting to be uncovered at your fingertips.
Picture this: our robust dataset and cutting-edge software form a powerhouse duo, ready to turbocharge your analysis. With lightning speed, we can assess the performance of individual providers and sprawling health systems against state, national, or customized peer groups. We're talking over 1,700 metrics covering everything from operations and finances to clinical quality. This treasure trove of data has been the secret sauce in the majority of our healthcare cases, setting HMP leagues ahead of the competition. No other litigation support firm even comes close to matching our capabilities.
Metrics, our brainchild, is like the crown jewel of HMP. It's your backstage pass to the database, granting healthcare providers, their advisors, vendors, and payors exclusive access on a subscription basis.
