As Medicare and Medicaid evolve towards bundling and capitated arrangements, health plans and providers are demanding post-acute care solutions that deliver value. These solutions will enable Kindred to contract for value across the post-acute care service spectrum.
The new solutions will harness Inovalon’s vast datasets, advanced analytics, and clinical decision support platforms in combination with Avalere’s extensive experience in healthcare economics and PAC strategy. Hospitals and health plans will be able to use patient-level assessments of post-acute care value as a basis for site selection and contracting.
