This document discusses strategies for using data analytics to improve physician alignment with quality and value-based care goals. It notes the changing roles of providers and patients with new payment models focusing on quality and value over volume. Analytics can help prioritize measures, identify gaps in care, and target high-risk patients and providers. The document outlines several approaches including empowering office staff, personalized engagement, and automated outreach. It presents a case study showing a data-driven program successfully engaged providers and improved performance on several quality measures.

• Right Focus: Given various and varied measures, how to focus energy on right measures?
• Redefined Relationships: With new value based provider relationships, how to drive desired
patient and provider behavior?
• Busy Providers : Given time and resource constraint, how to meet increasing compliance
requirements?
• Information Overload : How to avoid information overload and have right information at
point of care?
Overburdened StaffResource and Time Crunch
Patients
• Generic Communication : What information applies to me? Can I have that when needed?
• What to Trust : Given various requests (mostly generic), are these visits/test really required?

Just Sharing Data Is Not Sufficient
Approach 1
Right
Data
• Easily accessible
• Actionable data at point of care
Current Intervention Approach
• Complex and too much Information
• No slicing and dicing possible
Gap reports which are easily
accessible by providers at
point of care will drive higher
gap closure

Unsung Heroes: Office Managers/Billing Managers
Various gaps can be
prevented/closed by
provider offices with
suitable support
Approach 2
• Empower office staff with easy to
read content on Quality Measures
• Provide right tools and resources
to streamline various activities
Current Intervention
Approach
• Deploying same content for office
staff as physicians

Don’t Miss Critical Piece of Member Engagement:
Providers
Provider Driven Outreach is More Effective
Than Any Other Source
Higher Response Rate | Higher Trust | Timely Action
But Providers are busy and have resource crunch .
Need a Solution/Platform which is:
Low Management
Overhead
Simple to
use

Automated Reach with
minimal staff involvement
