Trilliant Health Launches New Premium Research Subscriptions

Businesswire | July 17, 2023

Trilliant Health, the healthcare industry’s leading analytics and market research firm, today announced the public launch of premium research subscriptions with exclusive research, educational materials and strategic planning resources. Trilliant Health’s premium research combines academic rigor with the industry’s most powerful datasets to set a new standard for data-driven insights, with medical and pharmacy claims for more than 300 million Americans and negotiated rates for health plans across the country. “The health economy creates more data than any other part of the economy. Yet, the industry has been satisfied with data that is ‘directionally correct,’ based primarily on surveys with small sample size,” said Trilliant Health’s Chief Research Officer, Sanjula Jain, Ph.D. “Even in academia, our ability to draw conclusions is often limited by the scale and quality of available data. At Trilliant Health, our vision is to create comprehensive, data-driven research as a guide for industry leaders to navigate the increasingly complex health economy.” The new subscriptions expand on publicly available research, including Trilliant Health’s industry-recognized publication, The Compass, which is read by C-suite and senior executives across all segments of the health economy from health systems to life sciences. Subscribers can access the Compass+ platform for Health Economy Trends: includes emerging and evolving trends with access to an expanded weekly research publication, in-depth reports with stakeholder-specific commentaries, a presentation-ready slide repository and quarterly policy insights. Strategic Insights: includes a monthly publication, primers on essential strategy concepts, overviews of stakeholder priorities and a collection of conversations with senior industry executives. Data Tracking: provides forecasts for national trends in utilization and supply with interactive dashboards. “I love The Compass. I look forward to every issue because I know I will learn something new,” said Robert Groves, M.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Banner | Aetna. “It’s not an opinion piece, or a retread of the familiar ‘expert’ narratives, but rather a concise delivery of research-based, data-driven insights. These unique insights, in turn, drive true evidence-based strategy.” Trilliant Health’s publicly available research, from The Compass and Trends Shaping the Health Economy report series to the SimilarityIndex™ | Hospitals benchmarking analysis, has been at the forefront of helping healthcare executives quantify and contextualize how the industry is changing by examining the demand (i.e., patient, consumer), supply (i.e., providers) and yield (i.e., price, cost of care) for any given topic. Trilliant Health’s research spans the organization, financing and delivery of healthcare and includes topics such as behavioral health, telehealth, the impact of retail providers, total cost of care by service line, physician practice and prescribing patterns, to name a few. “In this time of unprecedented challenges, it is more important than ever for us to anticipate the health care needs of the communities we serve, the evolving needs of our consumers and the forces impacting our industry,” said David Banks, Chief Strategy Officer for AdventHealth. “Trilliant Health’s research and reports on real-time trends have become a valuable resource as we develop and execute strategies to deliver whole person care to more patients and communities.” “In response to all of the public research we have been publishing these past few years, our research team has been supporting executive teams by answering questions about the impact of individual trends for specific markets, organizations and patient populations. Through these follow-up projects, a common theme of research questions and information needs became apparent, resulting in the creation of tailored research subscriptions from the Compass+ and Service Line Intelligence Reports to Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking,” said Jain. About Trilliant Health Trilliant Health combines healthcare industry expertise, market research and predictive analytics to form Evidence-Based Strategy for Healthcare™. Trilliant Health's proprietary analytics platform produces a comprehensive understanding of local market dynamics providing exponentially better data insights to maximize returns from growth strategies.

CommonSpirit Health Sets Up National Value-Based Care Organization

CommonSpirit Health | September 22, 2023

Population Health Services Organization strives to enhance access to equitable healthcare, elevate quality, reduce costs, and benefit millions of patients. Half of CommonSpirit's value-based providers are external, paving the way for PHSO's network expansion. PHSO leverages CommonSpirit's value-based healthcare expertise, including successful risk-bearing organizations and ten accountable care organizations covering over 2.6 million lives. CommonSpirit Health has unveiled a nationwide value-based services platform named Population Health Services Organization (PHSO). This initiative primarily aims to enhance access to equitable healthcare, elevate care quality and outcomes, and reduce the overall cost of healthcare delivery. PHSO will deliver various services, including advanced population health analytics, network administration, care coordination, data management and analytics, technological infrastructure support, reporting, and additional support to empower healthcare providers and provider networks to excel in value-based care. Wright Lassiter III, CEO of CommonSpirit Health, stated, The PHSO is a natural extension of our mission and longstanding commitment to providing high-quality, equitable care and addressing social determinants of health. [Source – Business Wire] He added that by harnessing CommonSpirit's national scale and expertise in value-based care, the company's goal is to elevate the standard of healthcare in the United States and assist providers in succeeding in value-based care within diverse community-based health system environments. CommonSpirit Health extends its services to urban and rural communities across 24 states, establishing itself as one of the United States' most prominent providers of Medicare and Medicaid services. Consequently, its PHSO will cater to an even more diverse payer portfolio. Thomas McGinn, MD, MPH, Executive Vice President, Physician Enterprise at CommonSpirit Health, highlighted the organization's unique advantage in serving diverse communities encompassing Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial insurance, making their data more representative of the American population compared to models primarily focused on commercial insurance. He added that CommonSpirit's presence in 24 states provides them with the data, tools, and access to a broad patient demographic, allowing them to tackle crucial national health challenges that require their size, scale, and expertise. For example, they can utilize data insights to understand testing, referral, and treatment patterns, enabling interventions that reduce viral infections like Hepatitis C, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations. Value-based care emphasizes the quality of healthcare over its quantity, promoting comprehensive and coordinated care to enhance health outcomes, quality, and equity. This model relies on contractual incentives for providers to achieve superior results, improve quality, enhance patient experiences, and curb healthcare expenses. Notably, the demand for such agreements is rising, exemplified by the company's goal to transition most Medicaid and all Medicare beneficiaries into value-based care relationships by 2030.

Quantum Health Partners With Progyny To Launch New Family-Building Benefits Offering

Businesswire | July 06, 2023

Quantum Health, the leading consumer healthcare navigation and care coordination company, announced today it has partnered with Progyny, Inc. (Nasdaq: PGNY) as part of its launch of a new family-building benefits offering to help employers provide a better, more comprehensive and inclusive experience for all employees who need support to build their families. Progyny, a leading benefits management company specializing in fertility and family-building benefits solutions, will be included as a new Preferred Partner within Quantum Health’s Comprehensive Care Solutions™ platform. As part of this new offering, Quantum Health will fully integrate Progyny’s solution, including access to its national and actively managed network of top fertility specialists, dedicated concierge patient support, integrated pharmacy and wraparound technology, into Quantum Health’s navigation and engagement platform. Quantum Health’s 500 employer clients, currently supporting close to 3 million members, can now elect Progyny’s comprehensive fertility and family-building benefits with an accelerated contracting and implementation process and seamless integration. “Quantum Health has long supported our clients and members with their reproductive health needs, but there is growing demand for a more comprehensive and integrated family-building experience, especially for groups of people who may face heightened barriers to accessing fertility care,” said Quantum Health President Shannon Skaggs. “After evaluating the market, we are excited to partner with Progyny, one of the market’s leading solutions in delivering an exceptional family-building experience that leads to healthy pregnancies. We already share mutual clients with Progyny and are eager to integrate their offering into our navigation engagement platform to better meet the needs of our clients and their millions of employees across the country.” The recent Mercer survey, Health & Benefit Strategies for 2024, found over 40% of employers currently take steps to provide equitable family-building benefits, including fertility treatments that do not require individuals to meet the clinical definition of infertile, and coverage for surrogacy expenses. Yet, in the recent Employee Benefit News and Quantum Health State of Healthcare national study, 43% of employers and 28% of employees reported that their company does not currently offer family-building assistance, including fertility and/or adoption assistance. Additionally, 30% to 35% of those in younger workforce generations (e.g., Gen Z, millennials and Gen X) say they want family-building assistance benefits but don’t currently have them, an important consideration for employers as they support their future workforce. “At Progyny, we share Quantum Health’s goal of delivering superior outcomes, exceptional member support and sustained cost savings. Through this partnership, Quantum Health’s leading employer clients can easily expand their benefits offering to include the comprehensive, equitable and inclusive family-building services their workforce increasingly seeks,” said Dr. Janet Choi, Chief Medical Officer of Progyny. “We are excited to integrate our solution into Quantum Health’s unique navigation and member engagement platform to further expand access to our fertility and family-building services and to help members engage with the specialists and treatment they need more quickly and comprehensively.” Quantum Health has recognized the increasing demand by employers and their employees for more holistic family-building solutions. By integrating Progyny’s unique benefits design and highly curated network of specialists with Quantum Health’s proprietary care management and Real-Time Intercept® model, members on family-building journeys will now be guided to all the support they need by their trusted Healthcare Warriors®. Through human-centered engagement, Quantum Health serves as the single point of contact for healthcare benefits questions, such as family-building support, and will direct members to the right resource at the right time, resulting in better experiences, reduced stress for the members and better outcomes. This new partnership with Progyny provides employers with a comprehensive family-building solution that complements Quantum Health’s integrated services, including the Early Steps® Maternity program, a high-risk pregnancy program that pairs expectant parents with a Personal Care Guide nurse for guidance. In the coming months, Quantum Health will continue expanding its Preferred Partners™ program for building families, along with addressing other high-demand and top cost-driving categories for employers. About Quantum Health Quantum Health is the industry-leading consumer healthcare navigation and care coordination company that delivers an unparalleled consumer experience to its members, as well as validated claims savings and high satisfaction rates for its self-insured employer clients. Quantum Health’s proprietary Real-Time Intercept® model identifies opportunities for early intervention in a member’s healthcare journey, resulting in better engagement, outcomes and cost efficiencies. The company was founded in 1999 and is based in Dublin, Ohio. Since its inception, Quantum Health has earned numerous awards and honors, including being named among the Fastest-Growing Private Companies by Inc. 5000, and a Great Place to Work by FORTUNE Magazine and Entrepreneur Magazine. Quantum Health has consistently been named one of the 50 Fastest-Growing Women-Owned/Led Companies by the Women Presidents Organization, and Columbus Business First has consecutively honored Quantum Health as a Best Place to Work.
