November 15, 2023

Health plans continue to face challenges as they assume responsibility for care that extends beyond the walls of their network’s facilities, specifically, in post-acute care (PAC).

Real-Time Data: Enhancing Payer Contracts in Post-Acute Care Settings

July 17, 2023

Real-time data and interventional analytics are improving payer contracts and outcomes in post-acute care. Payers face limitations when relying too heavily on claims data for managing care and selecting partners in post-acute care settings. Claims data tends to be outdated and lacks sufficient detail. That detail comes from real-time information and interventional analytics that can help payers create post-acute networks that offer unique advantages to providers and patients, most notably the ability to identify high-risk individuals upon entry to a skilled nursing facility or long-term care home. Real-time data also allows for timely interventions by nursing home staff, physicians,...read more

As CMS continues to enforce the regulatory process around infection prevention and control (IPC) efforts, there is an increased focus on the long-term care phase 3 Requirements of Participation (RoP). With ongoing efforts to address COVID-19, the spotlight remains on Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) and, specifically, on the role of the Infection Preventionist (IP) and Antibiotic Stewardship.

How Interventional Analytics Will Improve Nursing Care for MA Members

April 10, 2023

Interventional analytics has emerged as an essential technology to assist payers and nursing homes in making care decisions to improve outcomes for aging members. The Medicare Advantage population is set for tremendous growth over this decade. Estimates show that the MA program will cover more than two-thirds of the Medicare population by 2030.

Payers in the MA space must plan...read more
