Our Take on Risk Scores, Population Segmentation & Member Screening
Your Epic workflows and your VBHC data could probably use some alignment. There is no way to manage the health of a population if you don’t understand the population in question. Thoughtful, accurate, and actionable population segmentation opens the door to more effective, patient-centric interventions. If you are like many large organizations, your EDW, ETL, and DataLinking efforts either aren’t keeping up with your data needs yet, or you’re simply struggling to get them into motion. At Downshift, we’re committed to helping you over the hurdle, enabling your collaborations to truly benefit from modern HIT.
Population segmentation is a powerful process. Whether you are seeking transparency to more accurately report on ACO guidelines, to better align resources with your patients’ needs, or to quantify the impact of your outcomes-based care delivery model, it’s essential to get it right. Our priority focuses on your infrastructure for success. We’ll help you engage your business and care coordination teams. While wading through the multitude of initiatives and regulatory requirements to prioritize what you need to streamline outreach and engage patients is imperative, it can be overwhelming. Only with a clear vision can you design the registry roadmap that makes sense for your organization, finding the balance in your build between maximization of what’s available to you and that which makes your organization unique.
What good is a registry without quality data? And what good is the data if you’re not leveraging your segmentation efforts to make sure you’re not haphazardly deploying it too broadly? We’ll review your data architecture and resource levels to help you understand how best to aggregate the data needed to make member segmentation truly shine. Careful strategy and prioritization, when it comes to the deployment of your Big Data solutions, is just as important as the grass-roots management of ETL staff.
Once you’ve segmented and scored what remains? With Downshift guiding your BI team and their efforts to deploy analytics tools to the frontlines, you’re left with a formula for screening your populations in a way that makes sense. Sense for the initiatives and outcomes-based drivers you assessed and prioritized for. Sense for the risk levels that are now brought to the forefront for your clinical experts. Sense for the deep data drilldown that you’ve heard so much about – dreamed about, perhaps - changing the way that healthcare happens.
We know that it isn’t enough for your algorithms to be accurate behind the curtain. We know that sustainability requires the CHR to support easy screening workflows with a return on investment from the end user, to recognize the value of following a population segmentation path with each patient. Claim your position at the front - you don’t have to be left in the risk science dust. Downshift, equip your front line with the real power of population health management, and be the change your HNHC patients deserve. We’re ready to get you there.
