The challenge

Healthcare clients enlist Agathos to shape behaviors that

• Reduce length of stay
• Reduce clinical variation
• Improve patient flow
• Improve provider happiness
• Improve patient outcomes

The Agathos solution

Agathos shows physicians how their practice patterns compare to those of their peers. This piques their curiosity and sparks self-determined change that leads to positive impacts on all of the above challenges.

5 steps to changes in practice patterns

1. Agathos works with you to determine which practice patterns may have the greatest impact at your hospital. (See the insights we currently track on the back of this sheet.)
2. Agathos sends a text once/week to physicians with individual practice pattern data and how each physician compares to peers in that specific practice area. 86% of the physicians with access to Agathos regularly log in and interact with their data. (Compare that to physician engagement with your current dashboards.)
3. Physicians can drill down to review recent cases.
4. Curiosity piqued, physicians engage with one another to arrive at new ways to practice. (Many physicians share the positive impact this has on culture and team engagement.)
5. Practice patterns change without heavy administrative burden. Physicians improve on their own. At the same time, metrics trend in the right direction. Our ROI model includes the hard costs you care about as well as qualitative impacts on physician satisfaction and culture.
   

Healthcare leaders seeking to reduce clinical variation are often unsure of the best way to accelerate change. Agathos shows physicians how their practice patterns compare to those of their peers. This piques their curiosity and sparks self-determined change that lowers the cost of care and improves patient outcomes.

What makes Agathos unique is our focus on meeting the data needs of the physician as the end user. While administrative, operational, and financial leadership has received a great deal of attention, solutions for physicians have been largely ignored. The Agathos approach for physician engagement with data is led by our team of data scientists and seven physician advisors. Our key differentiation is that physicians self-select into using Agathos with sustained engagement levels as high as 85%, without the need for administrative pressure or mandates.

LifeGraph Knowledge: Care Optimization module applies Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, and AI to clinical notes and EMR fields for meaningful cohort comparisons. Using your organization's data, the platform helps you compare similar patients and procedures. You can quickly identify variations in care and opportunities for improvement, take actionable steps, and effectively hold individuals accountable for driving positive change.

Opportunities linked to evidence

Care Optimization leverages your data to identify opportunities for cost reduction, time savings, and improved care — and backs decisions with related journal articles, guidelines, and recommendations from professional organizations. 

The combination of practice-based evidence layered with evidence-based content creates a data story that will engage your physicians in decision-making and driving real change.

Here’s what the RIGHT data can do for your organization

Here are some of the opportunities one health system uncovered with Care Optimzation that contributed to $90M in savings. 

Cost-Efficient Supply Usage

After identifying supply usage variations that had no negative impact on outcomes, physicians standardized the most cost-efficient surgical technique.

$600 savings per case

Shortened Length of Stay

Surgeons unanimously adopted a post-surgical injection that reduced the length of stay.

$1500 savings per case

Process Efficiency

Analyzing surgical closure options led to adopting a more efficient technique that reduced costs.

$470 savings per case
