Why a Single Grouper Solution?
- Currently, there is no market standard for episodes resulting in unnecessary complexity
- Alignment of episode definitions across payers will facilitate value through:
- Integrated analytics and care-redesign across payers
- multi-payer or all-payer models
- alignment of cost and quality for defined episodes across payers
- Eliminates unnecessary duplications of effort such as home-grown solutions
- Reduces the cost of maintaining and updating clinical definitions over time
- Creates an environment of greater transparency for patients and purchasers
