What’s Inside the Palliative Care Dashboard in Excel
1 – Overview Page
The Overview page gives a high-level summary of the palliative care program. KPI cards show Total Encounters, Total Home Visits, Total Cost, Total Hospital, and Avg. Satisfaction for a quick leadership snapshot.
Total Cost by Month: Shows monthly cost movement so finance and operations teams can spot spikes, seasonal demand, or changes after care model updates.
Admission % by Risk Level: Compares admission percentage across risk levels and helps teams see whether high-risk cases are driving hospital utilization.
Total Home Visits by Care Setting: Breaks home visit volume by care setting, making it easier to compare home, inpatient, facility, and other service environments.
Total Cases by Month: Tracks case volume across months and helps care managers review workload, demand movement, and staffing needs.
2 – Care Volume
The Care Volume sheet focuses on facility, risk, team, and service-line workload. Total Encounters by Facility compares volume across facilities. Total Hospital Admissions by Risk Level highlights admission concentration by patient risk. Total Encounters by Clinician Team helps managers review team workload. Total Cost by Service Line shows where care cost is concentrated.
3 – Clinical Risk
The Clinical Risk sheet is built for risk and outcomes review. Admission % by Primary Diagnosis helps teams compare hospitalization exposure by diagnosis. Total Hospital Admissions by Age Group shows where admission volume is concentrated by age. Total Cases by Status shows case mix by active, closed, pending, or other statuses. Total Cost by Payer Type supports payer-level financial analysis.
4 – Financial
The Financial sheet connects care delivery with cost and satisfaction. Total Home Visits by Facility compares visit volume by facility. Total Cost by Care Setting shows where spending is highest. Avg. Satisfaction by Care Setting compares experience scores by setting. Avg. Satisfaction by Month tracks experience movement over time.
5 – Experience
The Experience sheet supports referral, regional, and service-line analysis. Total Cost by Referral Source helps teams compare cost by source of patient referral. Total Cost by Region highlights geographic cost concentration. Total Cases by Service Line shows which service lines carry the largest case volume.
6 – Data Sheet Tab
The Data sheet is where you add your source records in the same format as the sample table. Keep the headers and structure unchanged so the PivotTables and slicers continue to work correctly.
7 – Support Sheet
The Support sheet contains the PivotTables used to create the dashboard dynamically. After updating the Data sheet, go to the Data tab in the Excel Ribbon and click Refresh All. You can keep this sheet hidden after setup.
