“Extremely knowledgeable… high-energy, thorough…”
I had the pleasure to work with Direct Difference on the case Western Medical Center-Santa Ana v. Wisconsin Physician Services; PRRB Case No. 08-1695. The first case of its kind, in Washington, D.C. their knowledge on Core Measures and CMS guidelines was truly impressive. Debra Aruffo is extremely knowledgeable about Medicare quality measures and conscientious about keeping up with any changes to CMS guidance in this area. She is a high-energy, thorough worker.
“Good work and thank you”
We scored 100% on our validation for the above noted timeframe. Good work and thank you.
“They don’t fumble around …”
What impressed me most about Direct Difference is their grasp of details, which in this world of abstractions and measurements is absolutely vital. Debra and her team have an impressive range of expertise, and much of it is right at their fingertips: they don’t fumble around with research – their knowledge is top of mind, right there in full force.
“A pleasure to work with…”
It is a pleasure to work with the Direct Difference team. They are very professional, stayed on task and understood Core Measures and the PCI module completely. I would recommend them anytime.
“The Direct Difference team is an asset…”
I have had the privilege of working with Direct Difference for over five years. Their work and dedication are well documented by the consistent increase in quality improvement scores that the hospital has received during this time. The Direct Difference team has been able to get our hospital recognition from the American Heart Association by achieving the Gold Achievement Awards for CAD and HF.
We brought Direct Difference on board after our hospital lost its APU reimbursement. Since then, they have helped our facility pass its CDAC validations and receive full APU reimbursement. They taught our abstractors how to properly abstract core measure charts according to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services guidelines. The Direct Difference team is an asset to all of the organizations that are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with them.
