Make perfect sense doesn’t it? Find the cost driver in the data and place the appropriate fix. The problem is this process is an extreme oversimplification of what the data is showing, and in most cases, the suggested solution doesn’t provide the outcome of lowering costs specifically for the cost driver identified. * Remember, the hidden costs of healthcare is the problem – you can’t “see” the true cost drivers in the data.

To compound matters, employers do not have the appropriate tools to measure success. Seems like a rather basic ideal to know exactly what you’re measuring and how you’re going to drive that success.

Let’s look at just one of the typical cost drivers”, we’ll talk about the rather ominous high Emergency Department (ED) rates a bit closer, shall we?

The ED utilization category typically includes the use of urgent care centers as well. The data is sliced into the following segments:

Number of visits

Cost of each visit

Frequency of visits by an individual person

Day of the week utilization occurred
