DATA RICH, INSIGHT POOR
See Data through Multiple LensesApply your data to understand your populations through all available lenses and act on the data to improve health.
SOCIO-ECONOMIC• Education level: high school
FINANCIAL• Total cost of care per year
>$25,000 (Average annual cost
of care $13,700)
CLINICAL
• HbA1c >9
FINANCIAL LENS• Which patients cost the most by chronic condition?
SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC LENS• Assess barriers to care–No transportation to obtain care–Depression (PHQ score of 9)–Lack of help at home
PATIENT POPULATION LENS• 5% of population drives nearly 50% of health care spending• Who are my sickest patients? • Which patients are at greatest risk for hospitalization?

Find Opportunities for InterventionUtilizing advanced analytics, find the populations that are not only the highest-risk but also the most likely to be helped through clinical intervention. For example, take a look at your patients with diabetes.
Plan Your InterventionsCreate a plan for targeted outreach and care coordination for high-risk patients with the highest likelihood for improving.
