ACOs & Value-Based Organizations

Connect high-risk populations to care between visits.

Value-based arrangements reward what happens between visits. Kare helps organizations plan how patients are selected, activated, and supported—and how participation and results will be evaluated.

Program-evaluation framework

Five questions to answer before launch.

  1. 1

    Population

    Which patients are in scope, and how are they selected?

    Selection criteria agreed with your clinical and analytics leads, based on data you can make available.

  2. 2

    Workflow

    What happens after a patient is selected?

    Activation, engagement, and coordination steps for each program in scope.

  3. 3

    Accountability

    Who owns each step?

    Responsibilities split among Kare, participating practices, and the organization's care-management team.

  4. 4

    Data availability

    What information is needed—and available?

    The data each workflow depends on, how it is shared, and any gaps to address.

  5. 5

    Measurement

    How will you know it's working?

    Participation, workflow, and outcome measures with baselines and appropriate comparators.

Measurement

Evaluate honestly, not optimistically.

Care-management programs can support value-based goals, but results depend on population, workflow, and execution. We help you define measures and interpretation up front—without promising shared savings, risk-score changes, or lower utilization.

  • Participation: enrollment and sustained engagement in selected populations.
  • Follow-up: completion of planned outreach, transitions follow-up, and care coordination.
  • Relevant outcomes: chosen with clinical leadership and interpreted with appropriate comparators.
