Cost Insights

Promote continuous improvement to elevate care and outcomes

Hospitals and health systems are strained from all angles with the pandemic decimating bottom lines. Protocols and pathways have failed to significantly reduce care variation—resulting in high levels of waste and unnecessary spending. Persistent inability to correlate treatment cost with quality of care has driven the cost of care delivery up without a measurable improvement in outcomes. If hospitals and health systems don’t take action to disrupt these ineffective processes, they will be in danger of bankruptcy within the next few years.

Measuring provider cost and utilization

January 19, 2021

No matter the time of year, payers and providers should work to agree on a shared source of truth when it comes to data.
