Insights for Providers
Apr 10, 2024
The challenge:
Optimizing for provider growth is top of mind for healthcare executives. A recent Moody’s report cited that “Revenue pressures continue to overshadow expense saving initiatives. While the median annual expense growth rate decelerated to 5.7% from 7.1%, the annual revenue growth rate declined faster, to 4.6% from 6.1%.” Providers faced with significant revenue degradation from declining reimbursement rates, site of care substitution towards outpatient, and payer steerage are aggressively looking to offset this risk. Moreover, with external provider consolidation largely behind us, providers are now looking inward to find growth. One of these growth strategies is physician alignment – and referral intelligence is at its core.
Healthcare referral intelligence can mean the difference between providers staying competitive or failing. Consider the total cost of a patient care journey. Any out-of-network referral could cost a healthcare organization significant revenue, making healthcare referral intelligence analytics one of the most critical investments for providers today. Ironically, it’s also one of the lowest hanging fruits, if providers have access to the right healthcare data and actionable healthcare market insights.
Today’s healthcare referral intelligence tools lack the right data to be effective:
Today’s healthcare referral intelligence tools struggle to bring together the data required to map patient journeys in a comprehensive and granular manner. They often rely on inpatient state data that miss other settings of care, or payer-specific contracts that could be missing any of the BUCA payers. This means more blind spots than data, leading to uncaptured revenue as well as physician distrust.
Next-gen referral intelligence is closer than you think:
Clarify Health’s analytics platform addresses the critical challenges payers and providers face as they work to optimize patient care, manage risk, and improve outcomes, including referrals and market solutions.
Clarify Health’s Referral and Market Share Intelligence healthcare solution drives top-line revenue and continuity of care, analyzing referral patterns not only for your physicians but across your entire market. Our data coverage unlocks enhanced visibility into volume flows, while our healthcare analytics platform allows for drill-downs to the procedure level. Physicians can finally understand the full patient journey, and at what points patients are leaking along the continuum of care. Physician and patient-level insights enable more productive, data-driven discussions that physicians trust. Moreover, your value proposition increases when working with physicians. Providing transparent, timely, and interrogatable data not only improves physician alignment but also enables you to get to action faster, addressing areas of opportunity and capturing more revenue.
Why work with Clarify Health for healthcare referral intelligence?
Data coverage: Clarify has the most comprehensive data set in the industry. While others rely on EMR ordering data, publicly available data, or market-specific payer contracts, Clarify Health has linked years of clinical and commercial claims data representing more than 160M lives. Our status as a CMS Qualified Entity gives us access to 100% of longitudinal Medicare Part A, B and, D claims data. So, we can tell you more completely and precisely where and why volume is leaving your system, and how you compare to competitors.
Actionable insights: Competitors often come with pre-defined visuals and reports. While these may be valuable in identifying some opportunities, they fail to reach the level of root-cause analysis. Clarify provides referral data insights at the most granular level; this allows you to not only identify the root cause but take action to capture value.
Sophisticated referral logic: Clarify builds the full patient journey to provide visibility into downstream healthcare utilization. Our healthcare referrals solution doesn’t stop after first order referrals – it builds in the second, third, and fourth order referrals. This allows you to identify where things first broke down along the referral chain.
Access to underlying referral data: Clarify understands that transparency into the underlying healthcare referral data and the underpinnings of the referral data insight is critical. We have built dynamic drill-down capabilities on data grids that you can export. The healthcare referral data is yours to interrogate. Working with Clarify means greater healthcare transparency, ownership of referral data to use how you want, and healthcare referral analytics and actionable referral insights that become part of your daily workflow.
