48 Optum360 Testimonials

“We focus on the patients’ pain points. It’s up to the patient to determine what’s important. We always start with a goal-setting visit and try to understand what has worked or not worked in the past. At our clinic, we focus on lifestyle changes. Sometimes, the patient’s goal might not be a scale change, but instead just increasing a patient’s self-awareness.”

“We got such great results because it was one of our pharmacists calling, who they had either spoken with previously, or who they recognized as calling from Premier. Because they identified with that provider and had direct access to that provider, there was an automatic level of trust.”

"The point of the Beacon Program in general, and specifically this telemonitoring pilot, is to improve outcomes. If we can reduce the number of emergency department visits and hospitalizations by 5%, this will be a success both from a patient health and a cost of care perspective."

“Every few months we are coming up with a new way to use Optum One.”

“We had developed best-in-class tools prior to our Optum affiliation, but Optum has taken us to a whole new level.”

“The question we asked ourselves about ACOs was, ‘If not us, who?’ We really felt like the capabilities we had been honing over the last 20 years put us in a good position in this arena.”

“To our great shock, we actually need fewer inpatient coders than we did when we were coding in ICD-9, despite the fact that inpatient volume has increased.”

“Even though we’re past CAC golive by a couple of years now, that ongoing support structure provides expertise that helps us continue to improve processes and also gives us a mechanism to quickly resolve issues as they come up.”

“The Population Analytics data enables targeted outreach to patients who will benefit from proactive management, based on their clinical findings, not billing codes. At the same time it enables useful feedback to busy PCPs, in the effective management of our patient populations.”

“Optum’s Population Analytics unlocked the power of the data that lives in our EHR. It enables us to compare performance across our locations and benchmark our performance against other respected practices across the country using clinical data as opposed to the norm from claims data or even enhanced claims data. This is a huge advantage in driving improvements in quality, safety and efficiency.”

“It is critical to keep track of who the patients are and where they are at with their health. We’ve started analyzing at a basic level, looking at utilization trends — both through emergency room use and hospital admissions.”

"Optum has the best clinical programs in the industry. They are light years ahead of other providers that can provide this type of service."

“This is not a vendor-client relationship. This is truly a partnership between Truman and Optum360.”

“We have been able to reduce backlog, which really drives our cash flow. The average increase in cash coming in is roughly $3 million per month.”

"The Optum solution gave us reliable data to find a state error, saving our corporation $20 million dollars annually."
