Health and Condition Management

Provide optimal health care while reducing costs

Effective disease and condition management – and the ability to identify those at risk – can improve wellness and curtail costs to health care providers, consumers, health insurance companies, employers and society at large. Both require compelling communications, effective treatments and the ability to dive deeper into health care data to identify trends and predict outcomes. Without the ability to sufficiently analyze health care data and zero in on populations at risk for future health problems, it is impossible to pinpoint opportunities.

" SAS provides a solid and efficient linkage between our quantitative expertise and our clinical expertise. It allows us to take the data and to quickly and efficiently produce models that can be implemented to allow our clinicians to be with the right person at the right time."

How SAS® Can Help 

By applying the power of SAS advanced analytics to your multitude of health care data, you will gain the insights needed to align conditions and health interventions efficiently and with improved outcomes. With SAS, you can:

  • Uncover hidden health trends, identify the most effective treatments, understand health characteristics of your population and assure the best possible care by:
    • Integrating disparate data sources.
    • Ensuring data quality.
    • Applying the world's best analytics to predict behavior.
    • Creating risk analyses.
    • Identifying population types most likely to respond to treatment programs, as well as those likely to develop diseases.
  • Achieve greater compliance by gaining a 360-degree view of your health care population and using analytical models to:
    • Understand behavioral attributes of entire population segments.
    • Identify high-cost segments so you can manage problem areas proactively.
  • Measure the overall performance of treatment plans by:
    • Developing a consolidated view of treatment plan compliance.
    • Reporting performance from either an aggregated or a more detailed view.

How SAS® Is Different 

SAS gives you a complete picture of a population type's behavior and risk factors, not fragmented facts. Only SAS delivers:

  • Superior data integration capabilities for transforming data – from any source – to pinpoint and segment population groups with the highest risk of noncompliance.
  • An analytical approach for gaining greater understanding of the health characteristics of your entire population, and identifying those (outside of chronic disease segments) who would benefit from condition management or wellness programs.
  • Powerful predictive analytics for identifying trends and establishing triggers that generate early-warning alerts for changes in risk factors, environmental conditions or behaviors that lead to negative outcomes.
  • Customer management capabilities – including automation of campaigns and communications – that use predictive insight to ensure that the right message reaches the right audience.
  • Intuitive, Web-based reporting for examining online behaviors and refining your strategy as needed to maximize the impact of online channels.
