CCNC analytics leader details how to maximize value of healthcare data to Rhode Island’s Medicaid ACOs
In a recent webinar, Dr. Carlos Jackson, Ph.D., chief data & analytics officer at CCNC, discussed CCNC’s ImpactabilityTM approach and presented evidence of its effectiveness to Rhode Island Accountable Entities—that state’s Medicaid Accountable Care Organizations.
The webinar, hosted by the Center for Health Care Strategies as part of their Complex Care Innovation Lab, focused on the importance of seeing the complete picture of the services delivered to accountable populations, not just what is evident “within the four walls” of a particular provider’s office.
Speaking about CCNC’s experience with using data to effectively manage the population, Dr. Jackson shared the following key points:
- • In our experience in North Carolina Medicaid, only 1/3 of the total spend for members enrolled in a health system practice occurs within the four “walls” of the health system
- In these same health system practices, at least 1/3 of inpatient admissions occur outside of the health system
- Furthermore, the highest cost, most complex patients, are much more likely to receive care outside of the health system
The webinar was well received by the health care stakeholders in the audience, who noted that the information was useful and relevant to their work.
