Emergent Care Transformation

ED use is on the rise and so is spend. Our solution identifies trends, patterns and opportunities to reduce use and spend.

Proactive prediction helps manage ED spend

Health plans may have limited success deploying point solutions focused on retrospective lookback of ED use to drive member interventions. Optum® Emergent Care Transformation is a comprehensive program designed to enable health plans to proactively manage the rising costs of ED use and spend.

 

Optum deploys an industry-leading predictive model that monitors data from a wide variety of sources. The model looks for trends and patterns to actively identify appropriate opportunities to reduce use and spend. It accurately predicts at-risk members and pairs them with intervention partners to redirect care paths that prevent avoidable ED.
