Compass Complexity Index (CCI)
Assess each complexity driver using the guidance below. Once all fields are completed, the calculator will assign one overall Compass level.
Scoring guide: Lower selections indicate less complexity or work. Higher selections indicate greater size, research effort, ambiguity, or rebuilding requirements.
0 of 17 complexity drivers completed
Structural Complexity
How long is the Compass body, or the section that needs to be updated? Use the band that best matches the current or expected page count.
Approximately how many providers are associated with the health system or physician group?
Approximately how many hospitals are part of the health system?
How many U.S. states does this system operate in?
How layered is the system? Consider sub-networks, academic ties, partnerships, and related organizational relationships.
Data Complexity
How easy is it to locate accurate, current, and structured information across the system’s official websites?
What is the current condition of the Compass, and how extensively will the information need to be researched, validated, or rebuilt?
How many active initiatives need to be researched and captured? Consider value-based care, AI, population health, clinical programs, digital transformation, and other major strategic efforts.
How much merger, acquisition, partnership, or affiliation activity affects the system’s structure, leadership, locations, or strategic direction?
How deeply is the system involved in major clinical, research, purchasing, or physician networks such as NCCN, NCI, The US Oncology Network, and other alliances?
How straightforward is it to identify the system’s infusion locations?
How straightforward is it to identify the system’s pharmacy locations?
Access & Intelligence Complexity
How easily can key information be accessed without logins, paywalls, inaccessible documents, or significant manual digging?
How clearly are leadership roles, titles, responsibilities, and reporting structures presented across the organization?
After running the Compass requirements and available background through the approved AI prompt, how does AI estimate the overall research difficulty?
How much triangulation is required across websites, databases, PDFs, reports, archived pages, and other sources to confirm the information?
How much conflicting, duplicated, outdated, promotional, or otherwise unreliable information must be sorted through?
