The human arsenal has all sorts of valuable elements, and yet it doesn’t possess anything more valuable than that tendency of ours to grow on a consistent basis. This is because the stated tendency has already got us to hit upon some huge milestones, with technology emerging as quite a major member of the group. The reason why we hold technology in such a high regard is largely centered upon its skill-set, which ushered us towards a reality that nobody could have ever imagined otherwise. Nevertheless, if we look a little up close, it will quickly become clear how the whole runner was also very much inspired from the way we applied those skills across a real-world environment. The latter component, in fact, did a lot to give the creation a spectrum-wide presence and start what was a full-blown tech revolution. Of course, this revolution then went on to scale up the human experience from every conceivable direction, but even after achieving a feat so notable, technology will somehow continue to bring out the right goods. The same has gotten more and more evident in recent times, and assuming a newly-launched platform works out just like envisioned, it will only flip that trend into much bigger of a deal moving forward.
Garner Health, a New York-based company that focuses on employee health benefits, has officially launched a new platform named, Garner DataPro, which is a provider recommendation platform designed to equip businesses with all the needed physical referrals at a never-seen-before accuracy rate. To give you some context, Garner DataPro provides directory data validated at 94% accuracy to ensure patients are sent to the highest-quality providers in their network. But how does the whole operation work from a more actionable standpoint? Well, the referrals put-forth by the platform are first derived from Garner’s novel methodology that begins by collecting over 75% of the medical claims data in the United States. Once the relevant information is collected, the company leverages its latest clinical research, healthcare economic findings, and a deep understanding of managed care contracting to conceive more than a whopping 500 quality and efficiency metrics. These metrics, on their part, tap into a wider purpose of ranking the physician across 82 different healthcare disciplines.
“For too long, it has been nearly impossible for healthcare navigators to ground their referrals in clear, accurate data on provider performance,” said Nick Reber, founder and CEO of Garner Health. “By leveraging the unique power of the analytics engine that fuels Garner’s successful employer benefit program, we’re now making quality provider performance data available as a service to give organizations complete confidence that they are navigating patients to the highest-quality providers.”
Another detail worth a mention here touches upon Garner’s approach of using AI and data to manage all the directory data. This makes it possible for the user to continuously verify all data, and therefore, ensure accessibility of best possible healthcare in every situation. In case the cutting-edge technological aspect isn’t enough, the user can also consult Garner’s Referral Specialists who provide support with customized queries to realize 100% coverage of referral needs.
Garner Health’s excellence is also validated by an expansive clientele, which already boasts some of the biggest healthcare providers on the block.
“We believe effective, value-driven referral management depends on two things: a high-touch approach to helping patients make care decisions and advanced cost and quality data,” said Jeff Wells, M.D., co-founder and CEO of Marathon Health. “The Garner partnership puts cutting-edge quality and cost data in our navigators’ hands for each and every referral.”
