It is ideal to receive feedback as quickly as possible, particularly if there are urgent needs. The phone-based process allows us to deliver results immediately. Of those that we contact, only 4% refuse to participate in the survey. This high participation rate provides a very low margin of error on the facility-level reports.

In the first phase of our partnership, we helped the network analyze their BPCI opportunities, select bundles, and recruit additional SNFs into their program. Once the BPCI program got up and running, we developed a patient tracking tool that helps SNFs and their referring hospitals track patient progress and health status in real time. We then combined the claims with real time data to develop care management and finance dashboards that helped these providers earn significant savings in their BPCI program and drive new referrals to their facilities.
