Congratulations!

• Youve chosen to access your sites outcome
  analytics report
• This tool provides many useful features that
  allow you to examine patient characteristics at
  your hospital while also comparing outcomes
• Please note the Outcome Analytics is only
  accessible to Site Administrators

What is the Outcome Analytics Tool?

• The Outcome Analytics tool entails the creation
  and delivery of reports that describe the
  user-defined cohorts. After the user has selected
  the criteria for the cohort, they may submit the
  request. The following day, a report which
  describes the cohort along with a Kaplan-Meier is
  generated. The user-defined cohorts may be
  compared
• Between the sites own patients (cohort 1) and
  an equivalent overall Intermacs (cohort 2)
• Between the sites own patients based on
  subgroups (cohort 1 and cohort 2)
• A single cohort selection from a site

Why does it take a day to get my report?

• The outcome analytic feature is based on
  integrating two systems
• 1) A new web based feature that allows selection
  of user-defined cohorts based on key patient
  characteristics
• 2) Our analysis server that houses our latest
  research data and vetted statistical programs for
  advanced outcome analysis
• This ensures you are getting the same integrity
  checked data and methods that are used in
  Intermacs Quarterly Reports Exhibits and
  Intermacs Research Project
• Currently this linkage happens once a day but we
  hope to speed up this process in the future
