VALUE BASED CARE (VBC) DRIVES OPTIMAL CARE
AND PROVIDES FINANCIAL INCENTIVES
Northwell, one of the largest health care systems in the nation, currently uses the monthly Healthix Gaps in Care Report as an additional layer of information on top of its own data, to examine and fill patient gaps.
The Northwell VBC team used the Healthix reports from January thru September 2021 and matched gaps of 11,766 patients. Northwell was able to recognize and accept 3,785 of these gaps, for a 30% success rate.
“The significance of Healthix information is not in the mass volume of data available, but in the meaningfulness to close specific gaps for keystone
patients....”
– Kimon Stathakos, Senior Director,
Operations at Northwell Health Solutions
Complete care measures based on Healthix data allows the VBC team to submit the Healthix sourced information to payers as supplemental data. This has resulted in a one STAR increase across at least 3 payers so far which allows them to achieve key performance incentives/earnings.
