American College of Physician Advisors
National Observation Data Tool
Focusing exclusively on traditional Medicare patients, this tool allows users to explore national and local trends in observation practice using publicly available CMS data. This National Observation Data Tool will be available on the ACPA member website.
The Static Report
The static report provides a comprehensive snapshot of observation data, organized in three views:

The companion interactive dashboard was created to meet that need. ACPA members can filter data by state, bed size, presence of residents, and other categories. Rather than passively reviewing tables, the goal is to allow customized analysis by choosing the data filters most relevant to your hospital or region.
