APPLIED ANALYTICS

Focusing on the core mission of the physician enterprise — providing quality clinical care — has never been more challenging than it is today. The provocative and dynamic nature of the healthcare industry is driving changes for physicians and other clinicians. We fundamentally believe that using data to drive performance serves as a distinguishing characteristic of high performing organizations.

The Sta²T platform helps bring clarity to clinical, operational, financial and quality performance and helps provide the insights required to identify areas of opportunity and execute against improvement playbooks. Sta²T consolidates data from multiple sources to produce a single source for near real-time enterprise and provider-level views — including comparisons to industry and internal benchmarks. Sta²T can facilitate timely interventions and reinforce positive institutional and individual behavior change.

As a cloud-based solution, Sta²T physician analytics can be deployed quickly and accessed easily by providers, executives and staff, accelerating efforts to enhance productivity and performance and generating significant return on investment (ROI).

The Sta²T platform offers Service Line Dashboard functionality that intuitively presents information in an easy to consume and dynamic format that supports the decision-making process from idea origination through execution.

The Service Line Dashboard is especially applicable to organizations that require a single source of truth, expeditious and accurate decision-making, data visualization and confident identification for strategic opportunities including:

• Delivering a standardized platform that minimizes data processing variability by promoting a complete, accurate and timely analysis of service line performance.
• Creating access to timely and accurate data. The efficiency in which this information is delivered and consumed is a key factor in becoming a successful, risk-capable organization.
• Providing organizations with a single source of truth and offering data in a format that is digestible and informative.

Sta²T has developed custom dashboards that use 24 months of ACO data to create a detailed, high-value episodic lens into spending and variation across 48 different episodes. The data provided is actionable, leading to cost saving strategies that have high returns.

Organizations that participate in ACOs are evaluated on their ability to deliver better care for individuals, better health for populations and lower growth in expenditures. The Sta²T ACO Bundler gathers monthly Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) claims feeds, quarterly reports with expenditures, utilization and assignment metrics and annual summary results information to provide the following abilities:

• Interpret monthly claims feeds into a meaningful and actionable format.
• Track assigned beneficiaries across the care continuum.
• Model data across episodes of care.
• Identify high impact “spend” reduction opportunities across the continuum.

With the platform hosted online and delivered via an interactive dashboard, ACO participants receive a fully functional diagnostic and analytic tool, as well as a tutorial session focused on successful dashboard use and initial observations.

The Sta²T offering serves clients who are participating or currently considering participation in episodic bundled payments. By providing dynamic tools, Sta²T collaborates with organizations to evaluate the following:

• Organizational Readiness — evaluate current model participation, performance and opportunity identification, including market readiness by completing an episodic opportunity assessment.
• Decision Validation — establish target setting methodologies, CMS data mining, episode selection and go-forward decision-making.
• Performance Monitoring — continuous performance monitoring with ongoing data logistics and visualization and key metric and spend variation analysis.

Sta²T’s BCPI Episodic Manager helps enable organizations to operationalize a strategy around actionable and timely reports that impact how providers focus on improving care across the care continuum.
