Organizations participating in ACO REACH are tasked with better supporting care delivery and coordination for patients in underserved communities and ensuring physicians and other healthcare providers play a primary role in accountable care. CMS plans to scrutinize progress more carefully and more frequently to assess the impact on care.
Ursa Studio, our ground-breaking analytics development platform, forms the critical foundation for ACO REACH programs, addressing three common needs: to stand up a sophisticated analytics infrastructure quickly, to ensure ACO REACH analytics are appropriately localized so they will be trusted and acted on, and to apply a lens of health equity to all care delivery programs.
How you benefit
SPEED
Start on third base with off-the-shelf content for ingesting data from CMS and generating metrics to understand and manage your population
FLEXIBILITY
Replace “black box” analytics tools with a no-code technology solution that allows you to tailor the logic to inform your particular clinical and business model
EQUITY
Stratify and segment your population based on social determinants of health (SDOH) and health equity indicators on all patients, including ADI and SVI indices
Data integration
Use the Ursa Health Integration Module for ACO REACH data to automate the wrangling of CCLF data files as well as program-specific file layouts such as Weekly Reduction, Assignment List Reports, provider alignment files, and performance reports
As desired, merge enriched CMS data with other sources (e.g., other payor claims feeds or EMR/product tables) to develop a unified data model
Performance improvement
Start with the Ursa Health Population Health Foundations Module and get immediate access to performance measures covering essential concepts related to utilization and financial performance, as well as data marts with key patient features and risk factors, such as socioeconomic deprivation, chronic disease burden, primary care provider attribution, and plan membership status
Add the pre-built Ursa Health ACO REACH Module to generate program performance measures and uncover their underlying drivers to better understand opportunities for improvement, including CMS-specified ACR, UAMCC, and TFU measures
Rapidly tweak, clone, or extend transformations using the no-code interface, generating powerful, trustworthy, localized opportunities that analytics consumers actually believe
Enriched insights
Discover where important disparities occur with measures that include the University of Wisconsin’s Area Deprivation Index (ADI) and the CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index (SVI), composite scores that reflect geographic-based variation in socioeconomic deprivation
Swiftly analyze the relationship between equity and performance, in essence leveraging equity as a concept to "risk adjust" results and inform intervention design
Access patient-to-entity relationship and attribution timelines in your analyses to strategically understand how and where providers and groups are driving historical quality and utilization performance
Contextualize data assets using Ursa Health’s Reference Library to make analytics more robust and easier to consume, including concept enrichments for providers, code sets, medications, and more
