Implementation in record time
Erin Rathbone SVP, Product and Operations

What happened between December 15, 2022 and January 13, 2023? We onboarded a new customer, Emergient! Part of Emergent Holdings, Emergient offers out-of-the-box solutions for health plans looking to launch or scale a Medicare Advantage (MA) product. This currently includes three active MA plans covering approximately 35,000 lives.

What problems are we helping them solve quickly? With this first release, inGAGE™ provides a holistic view of their populations, segmentation tools, and access to individual member 360-views to help them understand member experience, satisfaction, and enhance Star performance. We implemented a member call logging tool that replaced manual spreadsheets for a single source of truth to capture interaction data. Timika Green, Manager, Member Experience, has enthusiastically said, “you are taking us from good to great.”

inGAGE also includes call reporting dashboards and uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to deliver member satisfaction predictions with key influencing factors. Up next, we’ll be implementing Test and Learn solutions based on the Next Best Actions, so stay tuned! Our collaboration with Emergient is fast-moving and difference-making which makes us the perfect partner for them.

Right after Michael Manthey, Managing Director, Medicare Operations, shared that “the analytics are great, and we’ve already seen some quick wins for concierge outreach targeting,” he shifted gears and started outlining what he’d like to see next. Keep pushing Mike – we’ve got you covered!

We did it again! HITRUST risk-based, 2-year certification (r2)

HITRUST Risk-based, 2-year (r2) certified status demonstrates that our inGAGE™ platform has met key regulations and industry-defined requirements and is managing risk appropriately. R2 helps organizations address security and data protection challenges through a comprehensive and flexible framework of prescriptive and scalable security controls. We complete a full certification process every two years, and we successfully achieved certification for the next two years after our first certification was achieved in December 2020.

Why does this matter? We have a third-party validated, strong, comprehensive data and risk management program that is highly respected in the healthcare industry. This strengthens our reputation and proves our dedication to security.

Data is our lifeline, and everyone contributes to our data confidentiality and security. A big thank you to our entire team for their awareness, diligence, and commitment. Let's keep it up!

Understanding access to care issues
Connie Zhu Senior Data Scientist

For the third year, we partnered with University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering students on their annual capstone project. This year, we focused on access to care measures, which have historically scored relatively low on Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) surveys. The students used Medicare Advantage (MA) member survey data to predict the likelihood of members having problems getting the needed care, using machine learning and statistical models.

The results were used to determine the Next Best Actions that plans could take to help members gain better access to care. Findings show members with over four chronic conditions were twice as likely to have trouble getting care and financially insecure members were 50% more likely. Recommendations included SDOH barrier removal programs and simplifying healthcare provider processes.
