About the webinar

Health care organizations need transparent, flexible and scalable technology to operationalize episodes of care. In this session, we’ll explore a modern framework and highlight advanced capabilities for: data ingestion, episode logic configuration, risk adjustment, provider attribution and performance benchmarking.

You will learn how to:

  • Simplify data management and episode analysis.
  • Strengthen cost efficiency.
  • Better understand risk and provider attribution.

You will learn about unified episode intelligence: integrating data from multiple sources and analyzing claims as episodes of care to get a complete view of cost, quality and outcomes. You will also learn to drive value and efficiency by identifying variation at treatment, patient and population levels. And you will learn about optimizing performance and accountability by using insights to strengthen quality programs and value-based payment results.
