A Strong Foundation for Personalized Health Engagement and Support Our philosophy is simple: we provide truly personalized health management support services that help drive the most impactful interventions for every population. Unlike traditional methodologies, our analytics are focused on a whole-person, long-term view of an individual s healthcare journey. Using rich datasets, such as claims, census information, purchasing data, and the Dartmouth Atlas, we are able to place or predict the placement of an individual into one of nine stages of a condition journey. We call this journey a Care Pathway. Every stage of the Care Pathway represents a specific point in a condition that can benefit from tailored engagement, coaching, and education strategies. Using this framework, we can assess every person s clinical needs, likely behaviors, receptivity to change, and preferred method of outreach. The result is an intervention strategy that emphasizes individualized engagement and focuses on maintaining health and delaying progression into a condition s higher-risk, higher-cost stages. Additionally, this level of insight helps us to develop personalized incentives that may have the greatest motivational impact and help drive behavior change.
