Novocardia | Taking on Risk with Data-Backed Confidence
Industry
Value-based cardiovascular care
Use Case
Performance measurement, Contract reconciliation
Challenge
Reconciling contracts for a complex and varied population. The cardiology patient population is highly variable in spend and clinical severity, so taking risk on this population necessitates a reconciliation process that accounts for risk adjustment based on a range of factors.
Solution
Creating a customized methodology for assessing Novocardia’s performance.
Accorded and Novocardia co-developed a performance measurement methodology that details the necessary calculations and steps required to reconcile a value-based contract with Novocardia. Accorded was responsible for designing the calculations to determine payer mix and case mix adjustment factors.
Impact
Taking on risk with data-backed confidence. With a rigorous performance measurement methodology that accounts for multiple risk adjustment factors, Novocardia can enter risk-based contracts with greater confidence and peace of mind.
