Sound familiar? With rising healthcare costs and payment reform, the need to accurately forecast cost and risk is more important than ever.
Mark Hays, Chief Technology Officer with UHealthSolutions, an affiliate of UMass Medical School, will present the Lunch Keynote, Predicting Health Risk and Cost: The Age of The Algorithm Is Over at the 3rdAnnual Predictive Modeling Conference for Health Plans in Orlando, Florida on January 31, 2012. Mark will describe how UHealthSolutions developed new predictive identification and analysis technology for health care payers, health plans, accountable care organizations (ACOs), community health centers, third-party administrators (TPAs), pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), medical home programs, integrated delivery systems and providers:
- Significant improvements in accuracy for individuals, groups and large populations
- Supports new clinical data, including electronic medical records, health information exchange and hospital information systems
- Allows you to tune forecasts to match your priorities and population, e.g. chronic conditions and risk of readmission
- Rapid results can be sent directly to case and disease management programs
- Improved identification of readmission risk, Medicaid disability status, etc.
This new predictive technology was announced in August of 2011, and quickly garnered interest across the healthcare industry. “The significant improvement in predictive accuracy delivered by the PIDA predictive analysis system is particularly important for care and disease management programs, to optimize care and reduce costs,” said Hays.
UHealthSolutions is a not-for-profit organization, dedicated to improving care nationwide. The new PIDA predictive solution is available to any payer, provider group, plan or vendor – not-for-profit and for profit – as part of the UHealthSolutions family of services.
