Population Health Analytics

To identify rising-risk patients early — and intervene before complexity and cost escalate — organizations need a clear way to segment and understand their populations. They need tools that reveal who is on the path to higher risk. That starts with smarter patient segmentation.

Our new guide — Modeling Excellence: Quality Patient Segmentation for Targeted Health Care Solutions — introduces Patient Need Groups (PNGs) — the ACG System’s innovative and clinically based approach to patient segmentation. PNGs help health care organizations move beyond defining patients by their disease (i.e., ‘a person with diabetes’) or care event (i.e., ‘a readmitted patient’) and instead understand whole-person needs, risks and opportunities for intervention.

In the guide you’ll find:

• The key differences between segmentation and risk stratification — and why both matter

• What “good” segmentation looks like: inclusive, evidence-based, adaptable and actionable

• A real-world use case: How one payer uses PNGs to proactively manage their rising-risk patients
