About our software – CCGroup Marketbasket System™
The CCGroup Marketbasket System™ includes solutions for provider and network management, as well as member and population management.
For provider efficiency (cost-of-care) profiling, the CCGroup Marketbasket System™ compares individual physician efficiency to a specialty-specific peer group using a standardized set of prevalent medical condition episodes to minimize the influence of patient health status and methodology statistical errors.
- Because of the stability and reliability of our provider efficiency scores, we are able to pinpoint MedMarkers™ – the services driving inefficiency.
- Our clients use MedMarkers™ as the foundation for a variety of performance improvement programs.
The CCGroup Marketbasket System™ also examines provider effectiveness (quality-of-care) using 145 unique, claims-based process of care. Clients may also build custom effectiveness measures and modify existing effectiveness measures, to meet their medical management needs.
Additionally, the CCGroup Marketbasket System™ provides member and population management solutions including a predictive model and gaps-in-care analysis. Our Coordinated Care Action Plan (CCAP) Report provides care managers with the actionable information they need to assess and prioritize members. For example, we calculate a Care Need Index for each member, based on five values that are needed to assess and prioritize patients: Predictive Score; Recent Facility Encounters/Avoidable Events; Effectiveness Gaps-in-Care; Medical Condition Resource Intensity; and, Clinical Lab Results (where available).
Derivations of our measurement methods have gone through testing and research on 90 million members and 705,000 physicians in the commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid health systems. Over 50 articles have been published on derivations on the CCGroup Marketbasket System™ methods and software. We work with large, national health plan clients as well as numerous Blue Plans and regional non-Blue plans.
- Is a cost-effective, turnkey system – ready for immediate use with little additional programming. Over 60 operational parameters are defaulted based on our market experience, but can be customized to meet individual client needs.
- Provides optimal performance, so that episoding and physician efficiency and effectiveness measurement happen in hours, not days.
- Identifies targeted and actionable information, eliminating the need for analysts to constantly “drill down” through the data just to understand the results.
- Delivers detailed condition-specific episode data, enabling you to clearly understand physician efficiency and effectiveness.
- Has patented methodological differences from other tools to that enable us to achieve high accuracy in scores; adequately control for patient case mix; account for non-specific diagnosis codes; and more.
- Provides transparency of methods for the public to see, including health plans, health systems, physician groups, employers, and the Federal and State governments.
- Includes a Batch Reporting Tool to rapidly produce reports at the provider or provider group level, for distribution in hardcopy format or electronically.
