It’s Simply Better to be Proactive

The #1 cause for escalating healthcare costs is the chronically ill.  Healthstat, Inc., a leading provider of on-site primary care, high health risk intervention and disease management services is driven to fight that cause.

By helping employers change the way their employees use health services and reducing their  health claims costs, Healthstat provides measurable results where they matter most.

 That’s why Healthstat partnered with analytics and predictive modeling company, Elsevier / MEDai (Medical Artificial Intelligence).  Healthstat integrates not only the medical and pharmacy claims that are incurred outside of their clinics, but also their  Health Risk Assessment data, biometrics, laboratory readings, and clinic encounters within their clinics, to predict the risk of the population and the associated impact on cost. Through this merging of all the medical data, they can predict trends, identify gaps in care, and immediately recognize those cases with the greatest impact potential from both financial and quality of life perspectives.  Healthstat has the statistics to back it up. On-site clinics specializing in disease management, primary care, and episodic health care have shown a significant impact on reducing healthcare costs.

Costs go down while health goes up. It’s how Healthstat is helping build healthier businesses.

To find out how Novant Health overcame this challenge, fill out the form below to access the entire case study.
