Optimizing provider networks with network optimizer

As part of its comprehensive suite of solutions, MedeAnalytics offers a powerful network optimizer solution designed to assist healthcare organizations in optimizing their provider networks. By conducting in-depth analyses of provider performance, patient preferences, and outcomes data, organizations gain the necessary insights to make informed decisions regarding network composition. This empowers them to ensure the delivery of quality care while enhancing cost-effectiveness, fostering robust provider partnerships, and elevating patient satisfaction.

Comprehensive data source of health empowering holistic understanding

At the core of MedeAnalytics capabilities is its role as a comprehensive Data Source of Health. By adhering to FHIR standards, MedeAnalytics establishes a centralized repository encompassing clinical, claims, and social determinants of health (SDOH) data. This comprehensive integration of data sources facilitates a holistic understanding of patient health, allowing healthcare organizations to design targeted initiatives that address the influence of social determinants on population health outcomes. The inclusion of SDOH data strengthens the organization’s ability to identify and tackle social factors impacting health, leading to improved population health outcomes.

Promoting health equity and seamless interoperability

MedeAnalytics recognizes the paramount importance of health equity and strives to ensure that its solutions foster equitable healthcare delivery. Leveraging FHIR standards and enabling seamless data exchange and interoperability across disparate systems, MedeAnalytics facilitates the integration of diverse patient data sources. This integration plays a crucial role in helping healthcare organizations identify and address disparities in care and outcomes across different patient populations, especially those who are most vulnerable. By embracing interoperability, MedeAnalytics supports effective collaboration among care teams, streamlines care coordination, and ultimately contributes to improved health equity across the board.

Modern UI/UX for a superior executive decision-making experience

The upcoming generation of MedeAnalytics solutions will introduce an exceptional user experience tailored specifically for executive-level users. This new offering maintains the suite’s commitment to providing swift access to granular information, enabling executives to make informed decisions with just a few clicks. This focal point shift drives action to help organizations achieve desired outcomes.

Users will be empowered to curate their personalized dashboard, selecting key areas of insight aligned with their company’s objectives. These insights will be presented in a well-designed flow of information, facilitating a deeper understanding of the drivers behind expenditure and utilization. Moreover, MedeAnalytics solutions will provide recommended actions to drive impactful changes that we refer to as “managed action.” With a single click, users can create initiatives within the UI/dashboard, assigning them to specific individuals and establishing action plans. These initiatives can seamlessly cascade through relevant stakeholders, while progress can be effortlessly tracked.

Managed action: connecting insight to follow-through

Analytics without action is an academic endeavor. Every customer that MedeAnalytics supports with the analytics SaaS platform is leveraging insights to inform some action. Interoperability plays a key part in setting MedeAnalytics apart from other vendors in the space, leaning into the fact that its solution serves to inform the next best action. As a first demonstration of this value, MedeAchieve is integrated within the solutions, including within the new executive experience. Executives can kick off strategic initiatives, identify key metrics, and assign ownership with one click, all while never leaving the experience. Not only is this “insight to action” streamlined workflow valuable and novel, but also it is bi-directional, providing a blueprint for other integrated experiences. When an initiative has been created in MedeAchieve, key status information about that initiative is fed back into the executive experience, allowing users to see at a glance how it is progressing.

Q. Can you provide us with one or two success stories describing the challenges your clients faced and how MedeAnalytics helped them overcome those challenges?

Customer Success Story: One of the largest integrated health plans and providers in the US developed its analytics insights platform using the value-based care solution from MedeAnalytics to empower its employees, executives, brokers and customers with self-service analytics and reporting to drive measurable value and outcomes.

This enabled it to reduce ad-hoc report turnaround times for employers and brokers by 75%, lower ad-hoc report turnaround times for healthcare analysis and reporting to support the business by 80%, save Pharma prescription costs to the tune of $4,000 per script by substituting an HIV branded drug with a generic (bio-similar) and roll it out across all regions in months. This client saw a six-month payback (ROI) on its investment in MedeAnalytics solutions.

Q. Is there anything you would like to add before we wrap up?
