Changing the Outcome

Intervene early. Move cost down and quality up.

A population is not one average patient. It is a spread — some patients do well, some do badly, most sit in the middle. Our job is to move the whole spread in the right direction.

Each chart below shows where a population ends up. Use the slider to change how early we get involved in a patient’s care: the earlier it is, the more of what happens next we can still influence.

Step 1 means we are involved from the very start of a patient’s care. Step 12 means we only get involved right at the end.

Step 1 of 12

We get involved at step 1 of 12, influencing 12 steps. Modelled average cost $12,180, -11.7% against baseline. Modelled average quality score 77.4, +7.5%.

Total cost of care

Annual cost per beneficiary. Lower is better.

If we get involved at step 1 of 12 in a patient’s care, the modelled average cost moves from $13,800 to $12,180 (-11.7%), and the share of patients in the high-cost group moves from 7.3% to 0.6%.

Quality of care

Composite of scored quality measures. Higher is better.

If we get involved at step 1 of 12 in a patient’s care, the modelled average quality score moves from 72.0 to 77.4 (+7.5%), and the share of patients in the low-quality group moves from 7.3% to 0.6%.

Early: Get involved at the start and the whole population moves: fewer patients end up in the high-cost group, and more end up in the high-quality group.

Late: Get involved right at the end and the same work changes almost nothing — there is very little care left to influence.

How It Works

Three steps, on every population we manage.

This is what intervening early actually means day to day.

01

We find the patients who need help first.

Not every patient needs the same attention. We look at your whole population and identify who is most at risk, so your team starts with the people who benefit most.

02

We use care programs that are proven to work.

Annual wellness visits, care management for chronic conditions, follow-up after a hospital stay, and medication review. Established services, delivered consistently.

03

We make sure the work is recorded properly.

Care that is not documented does not count — not for quality scores, not for risk scores, and not in an audit. We make sure what your team does is captured accurately.
