Our global analytics vision starts with a fully integrated data warehouse where claims data can be linked to plan design data, cost data, vendor data etc. to provide more powerful business insights into what is driving claims costs. We then focus on three main pieces as part of our offering – (1) consistent local claims reports that not only look and feel the same, but include consistent elements such as population analysis, claims ratio development, utilization by type of service and demographics, and diagnostic information mapped to standard ICD10 categories even where this information is not typically provided in the local market. (2) Our Benefits Insights tool includes a Global Claims Dashboard where you can compare key features of the experience in each country, identify the plans with the biggest concerns, and compare key health issues across countries. This helps HQ to know where to spend their time. And then (3) a range of services we call Advanced Analytics which is tailored to the needs of each plan. We analyze the performance of the plan within a framework that considers those costs that are Avoidable…… those that are Controllable…… and those that may be Transferrable….. We utilize the other integrated data to dig into these issues further.
