Join the HITEQ Center for office hours as a follow up to our webinar on Measuring Return on Investment for Your Population Health Management Program. Our webinar presenters, Mark Rivera, President of Managed Care Consulting, Inc./ MCC Analytics and Lynda Meade, Director of Consulting Services, Centerprise, Inc. and formerly of the HCCN at the Michigan Primary Care Association, will be available to answer your questions about components to put in place to measure the return on investment (ROI) of PHM programs and the HITEQ Center's PHM ROI matrix tool. The PHM ROI Matrix Tool is intended to “walk” an organization through a process of developing the ability to measure benefit in basic, intermediate, or advanced terms.

This brief explores the concept of rising risk in the health field. Given that it is well understood that the top 5% of patients account for more than 50% of utilization, it follows that identifying risk in the population early and intervening effectively has the potential to save resources and improve health outcomes. The growing emphasis on efficiency and value, a new set of data collection and analysis tools, and the recognition that uncoordinated, after-the-fact response is not optimal all support a focus on rising-risk populations. 

The best dashboards give health centers actionable information at their fingertips, and use great design practices to focus a user’s attention on the most important information on the page. The HITEQ Center presented tips on how to develop effective data dashboards including designers and users, common pitfalls in dashboard design and how to avoid them, and dashboard software for consideration. The Indiana Quality Improvement Network (a health center controlled network housed within the state’s Primary Care Association) shared their experience in developing custom data dashboards for health centers in Indiana and beyond. Kislaya Kunjan, PhD (Health IT Director at IQIN) demonstrated multiple dashboards developed by their organization, and how much of it is publicly available on their website (www.indianapca.org/dashboard) for the benefit of health centers and affiliated organizations across the US.
