Population Health Analytics: Start Simple, Scale Fast
Population health analytics starts with a clean denominator: who is in the population, for what period, and under which contracts.
From there, focus on a small set of measures that drive action: utilization, readmissions, care gaps, and cost per member per month.
Start with three workflows
- Cohort builder for attributed populations and subgroups.
- Care gap lists for outreach and closed loop tracking.
- Utilization dashboards for ED, inpatient, and avoidable admits.
Scale with automation
Once the basics are trusted, add scheduled exports, provider scorecards, and alerts for outliers.
