We collaborate with organizations committed to moving beyond incremental fixes toward meaningful, sustainable transformation:
Assessed and redesigned UM processes to be more efficient, compliant, transparent, and reportable. Established clear escalation pathways to optimize complex case reviews, support evidence-based decisions, reduce avoidable friction, and improve provider experience. Strategically reduced IRE overturns through targeted process improvements and by training UM nurses and medical directors.
Developed a more reliable transitions-of-care model connecting hospital, post-acute, and home health settings for older adults and those with complex chronic conditions. Designed ER diversion pathways and programs, and significantly reduced avoidable admissions (APKs) as well as length of stay in both acute and post-acute settings.
Conducted comprehensive data analysis to identify high-risk, high-utilization members and created tailored care pathways to improve access, reduce unnecessary use of low-value services, and enhance health outcomes. Supported providers and health plans in improving both clinical outcomes and financial performance.
Redesigned risk adjustment workflows and provider engagement strategies for a regional Medicare Advantage plan. Advised a healthcare AI startup by providing deep RA/Stars domain expertise, shaping their value proposition, and guiding the development of solutions that address real-world operational challenges in risk adjustment and quality.
