Case Study: UMass Memorial Health Care utilizes analytics to do more than measure
Encouraging physicians to engage with data reduces population health costs.
Massachusetts-based UMass Memorial Health Care is engaging physicians by providing actionable data and communicating how both the system and patients benefit when quality measures are met.
With the use of Optum analytics UMass regularly shares insights physicians find valuable that relate directly to quality care. Analytics also support their successful physician engagement incentive program that tracks performance and rewards high performers annually.
Using analytics also helps to reduce UMass population health costs. UMass Memorial uses Optum for claims-based predictive analytics to forecast future high cost patients in the Medicare population.
