Physician-level Analytics: Leveraging Evidence-based Procedure Analysis + Outcomes Data
Physician-level analytics help healthcare organizations analyze the cost of medical devices for a given procedure, down to the individual physician and case level.
Benefits:
Physician utilization analyses provide data for a specific category or group of medical devices, identifying specific stakeholders to engage in spend initiatives.
Procedure cost-per-case analyses identify cost drivers and variation in device use by a physician down to the case level, and whether the evidence supports that variation.
Outcomes analyses help healthcare organizations determine if their outcomes data aligns with evidence, as well as how outcomes affect key financial metrics.
