Challenges

Leading healthcare organizations often turn to Guidehouse for strategic guidance and operational support as they explore new market opportunities and establish new provider relationships. However, they often lack reliable data at a national scale to inform their growth, operational and care improvement initiatives.

Recognizing the need for national provider cost and quality metrics which could be analyzed at a local level, Guidehouse partnered with CareJourney to develop provider profiles and performance reports to support specific client engagements.

Over time, Guidehouse’s healthcare client list grew as did their demands for more comprehensive provider information to guide network development and support provider performance improvement strategies. A national client base was now demanding data on provider performance across the country and wanted benchmarking visualizations to help them continually reduce network leakage and identify high-performing providers to recruit.

How CareJourney Helped

To address their needs, CareJourney packaged provider network, market cohort utilization, and performance data for ingestion directly into the Guidehouse data warehouse. This national dataset of market analytics can be analyzed at the local and national level providing insights on provider referral patterns, episode influence, costs and quality. Patient cohort data helps them better understand local market healthcare needs and get a good picture of which specific providers their patients turn to for supporting their care.

CareJourney data is routinely updated, allowing Guidehouse access to timely provider information to support new consulting engagements and build client provider performance dashboards.

Specifically, CareJourney’s national dataset allows Guidehouse to:

  • Enrich their existing data sources and analytics
  • Support customizable visualizations and dashboards
  • Flexibly link data keyed across industry standard identifiers

Impact

By incorporating CareJourney data, Guidehouse is able to deliver data-supported guidance to healthcare clients on a national scale. The additional insight derived from the CareJourney is helping them expand their client base and increase the performance oversight services they provide to existing clients.
