      Due to the ubiquity of big data, its value often gets lost. AMGA member Advocare and AMGA partners MagMutual and Acadia have spent years identifying data that can both reduce risk and increase revenue. What started as a small set of quality measures has grown into a comprehensive analytics platform that aligns quality with reimbursements. 

      MagMutual PolicyOwner Advocare is one of those practices using the data to make informed business decisions and ensure their long-term ability to service their communities. Throughout the course of the webinar, they will share how it has positively affected their practice in numerous ways.

      One slice of data relates to the commercial reimbursement rates that are now, for the first time, publicly available (but incredibly difficult to structure and analyze). These data will rewrite antitrust law and render "black box" analyses obsolete. But how can they be used today?

      Sponsored by MagMutual, a highly data-driven and innovative medical professional liability insurer, this webinar will feature the organization’s experts, as well as those from Acadia and Advocare. The group will highlight this new data set and walk through how healthcare organizations can leverage it. See how payer data fit into a broader enterprise strategy to reduce risk and increase quality while helping physicians remain independent

      Consistent adherence to prescribed medications is crucial for the management of many chronic and acute diseases. Unfortunately, rates of adherence are stubbornly low across many medication classes, particularly when treating chronic conditions where as few as 50% of patients may be reliably receiving medication on the prescribed schedule. In this webinar, the AMGA Research & Analytics team will provide an up-to-date survey of challenges associated with medication adherence, including presenting preliminary results from recent AMGA-led studies on this topic. This webinar will set the stage for an upcoming workshop to take place at AMGA's 2024 Annual Conference on April 11, 1:30-3:30 P.M. in Orlando, FL, where members and experts in the field will convene to discuss these challenges and collaborate to develop solutions for improving medication adherence.

With better patient targeting, the care team experienced a predictable and manageable workload averaging 1-2% of patients in their panel which resulted in greater care team satisfaction.

Collection of REaL (Race, Ethnicity, and Language), SOGI (Sexual Orientation, Gender Identify), and SDOH (social drivers of health) data can prove challenging.
