Clinical Cost Management
Manage your clinical expenses using our analytics and expert consultants. Our data-driven approach to clinical cost management aligns price, process and utilization.
It is no secret that the American health care system is rapidly changing and the move towards value-based care is here. Health care providers today can no longer “wait and see” if our system will make the official leap and move from fee-for service care – we have taken it. In order for health systems to be effective and profitable in their transition to value-based care, it is critical to understand your local market, develop payor strategies aligned to your patient population, engage physicians, and implement the appropriate process and cost reduction strategies. According to a December 2016 Vizient survey, 51% of C-suite leaders support continued use of value-based reimbursement models. In order to be effective in all of the above, it requires deep data and insights, thoughtful execution and strong change management.
