- SDAHO developed a comprehensive Internet-based solution to greatly enhance our member’s use of the SDAHO Statewide Inpatient and Outpatient Databases. Members utilize the Dimensions Program to easily analyze market share, perform patient services assessment, plan hospital services, and assess community needs.
- SDAHO Medicare Impact Modeling provides South Dakota hospitals and post-acute care members with impact analysis of Medicare payment policy changes. Each year the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) make a number of changes to how providers are reimbursed under the Medicare program through the regulatory process. The impact reports provide hospitals and post-acute providers with quick and easy to understand analyses of proposed and final regulatory changes that assist members in planning and preparing both operationally and financially.
- The Annual Salary and Benefits Survey collects salaries on non-management, management and executive job classifications. The annual survey helps South Dakota hospitals hire and maintain appropriate levels of personnel and evaluate their benefit plans.
