Risk stratification models play an important role in assigning the right resources to the highest-risk clients in care management initiatives. One of the keys to a successful risk stratification model is accessing the right data, at the right time, and stratifying risk to prevent gaps in care and clients from falling through the proverbial cracks. This includes data from payors, EHRs, HIEs, and CCDs from other entities across a healthcare ecosystem, which is aggregated in a population health solution.
In her blog, How CCBHCs Can Identify and Manage High-Risk, High-Cost Clients for Better Outcomes, Melissa Giampietri, Specialty Director of Behavioral Health at NextGen Healthcare discusses the goal of a population health solution in helping organizations understand “who are my patients/clients and what does my patient/client panel look like?” Melissa also provides details on best practices for selecting the right population health solution for your CCBHC, risk stratification, as well as what CCBHC’s need in a population health solution.
