"Optum isn’t just a vendor; they really partner with us to identify opportunities to improve operations that we wouldn’t have identified otherwise. We’re far more successful because of their partnership."
“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 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.”
“With Optum One’s Population Analytics, we have a better understanding of the clinical complexity of the patients we serve and the ability to manage to a common standard for Billings Clinic. What we are learning about population health management in hypertension will guide our efforts in ratcheting up the effective management of diabetes, pediatric asthma, congestive heart failure and the other diseases which consume so much of our health care resources.”
“Optum One Population Analytics is helping us target data quality improvements in our electronic health record by standardizing the accurate capture of blood pressure readings, including home measured blood pressures and improving the completeness of coding.

“Although we had implemented fitness challenges before on a smaller scale, we needed a solution that we could deploy to more than 75,000 employees across our various locations and business segments.

"We’re currently seeing nearly $3.5 million in annual benefit1 due to administrative savings and additional reimbursement."
"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."
“By partnering with Catholic Health Home Care Services and Kaleida’s Visiting Nurses Association to structure this pilot program, we designed a telemonitoring service that has a minimal impact for the treating physicians and a maximum impact for the community.”
"The Optum solution gave us reliable data to find a state error, saving our corporation $20 million dollars annually."
