Information is the foundation of any sound business decision. This is especially true in healthcare where information comes in many forms. Thus, the ability to competently and credibly analyze both financial and clinical data is crucial.
At Well Life, we analyze discharge data submitted by our hospital partners, identify expenditures of WIN System corporate partners, categorize those expenditures into chronic diseases and provide a variety of decision support reports, which allow our hospitals to better serve their corporate partners.
This work is important to both our hospital partners and their constituents, their corporate partners because medical care costs for people with chronic diseases total more than $400 billion annually, or more than 60% of total medical care expenditures.
There are four major chronic diseases that each year claim the lives of more than 1.7 million Americans: Diabetes, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease.
WIN System analyses pinpoint causes of costly health issues, enable our hospitals to identify and introduce appropriate interventions and positions them as the "Providers of Choice."
