Our Wish List I would like MONAHRQ to be able to post

hospital outpatient (OP) data HCPCS Rate Codes Outpatient DRGS (EAPGs ???)

I’d like it to treat the OP types uniquely Emergency Department Outpatient Surgery Other OP

Our Wish List I’d like (where appropriate) MONAHRQ to

compare Inpatient with Outpatient data (inter and intra hospital)

I wish that a future version of MONAHRQ would incorporate Ambulatory Surgical Center data Treat each ASC type uniquely Compare to hospital OP data (where

appropriate)

Summary and Conclusion MONAHRQ has been a godsend in

Nevada. When budgetary constraints and political pressures put the need for public results into the forefront, MONAHRQ saved the day.

I strongly recommend that MONAHRQ be used by all those that need to post health billing data.
