What's driving unsustainable healthcare costs? It isn't a lack of solutions in the market. Group healthcare purchasers have made significant investments in advanced primary care, behavioral health, navigation, and much more — but far too many solutions have underdelivered on clinical and financial outcomes.
Instead of focusing on which solutions to add or remove, purchasers should zoom out and assess how their benefits ecosystem is working together holistically. In this session, Dr. Akin Oyalowo, medical director at Included Health, and Mike Schirmers, SVP of analytics, will draw on their combined 30-plus years of healthcare experience to unpack four key questions benefits leaders should be asking:
1. Connected or fragmented? Are your vendors addressing isolated populations and clinical needs, or are they working together to manage your entire population
2. Reactive or proactive? Are you overindexing on high-cost claimants and missing opportunities to identify people with emerging needs and early signs of high-cost conditions?
3. Categories or mechanisms? Are you focused on top spend categories, or on the complex mechanisms that drive better outcomes across categories and populations?
4. AI or AI-for-AI's-sake? Are your AI solutions checking a box, or are they making your entire ecosystem more effective and engaging?
