Pressure On Healthcare Providers To Reduce Costs And Minimize Readmissions Creates Healthcare Analytics Opportunities

LONDON, GREATER LONDON, UK, November 22, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Driven in part by pressure on healthcare providers from payers to reduce costs and lower readmission rates, the global market for healthcare analytics is growing by almost 25% year on year, a new report from The Business Research Company, Healthcare Analytics Global Market Opportunities And Strategies To 2022, has shown.

Healthcare organizations are increasingly required by payers, whether governments or insurers, to lower readmission rates, which are widely considered too high. For instance, approximately one in five Medicare patients in the U.S. is readmitted within 30 days of hospitalization. In that country healthcare providers are increasingly using advanced analytics to improve after-treatment care by gaining insights into treatment trends and causes for readmission, and are re-designing interventions. A leading U.S. healthcare provider has reduced readmissions by 22% through the use of advanced healthcare analytics.
Beginning in 2013, the US CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) started penalizing providers for readmissions exceeding a stated cut-off for some clinical conditions. Total penalties for 2013 were estimated at $280 million. Hospitals that failed to show readmission rate improvements were penalized with up to 2% of Medicare reimbursements in 2014 and 3% in 2015. More chronic conditions will be included in the readmission penalty list in the future, including cardiac bypass surgery and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Policies such as these incentivize hospitals to prepare and understand their readmission metrics, calculate their readmission rates by condition and physical performance, and compare outcomes with benchmark rates with a view to reducing penalties or avoiding them.
Analytics can be used on the data of patients with chronic conditions, to identify target populations and enhance patient monitoring with appropriate post-discharge plans that reduce readmissions. Providers can also use patients’ demographic data to conduct risk assessments and identify at-risk patients and prioritize their treatment. Thus, pressure to reduce costs and minimize readmissions, together with compulsory policies introduced by payers, enhance the growth of this market.
