Utilization Management Reports

Lincare's proprietary management information system provides Managed Care clients with reports detailing and trending pertinent information. Available reports include:

  • Patient compliance
  • Customized payor summary reports
  • Cost savings

Hospital Readmissions

The successful transition from hospital to home is demonstrated by comparing the readmission rates of Lincare patients to the readmission rates of other patients.

Quality of Life

Functional ability, shortness of breath (dyspnea), emotion and fatigue measurements, which improve over time in Lincare's Noninvasive Ventilation Program for COPD, result in overall improvement in quality of life.

Ventilatory Improvement

Measured reductions in carbon dioxide levels are achieved for COPD patients receiving Lincare's NVS therapy.

Patient Satisfaction

Patient satisfaction is measured quarterly as part of Lincare's Total Quality Management Program. Patient satisfaction regarding all aspects of Lincare service consistently measures 97% or higher.
