Problem-Based Reasons
Problem 1: Inability to capture complexity-based integrated care savings opportunity due to restricted internal discipline-specific practitioner and clinical administrator
knowledge and experience in complexity assessment and its application to integration
of physical and mental condition service delivery and support
Cartesian Solutions, Inc.™ experts can: cost effectively complete
cross-disciplinary work process assessments and develop customized complexity-based integrated
service implementation programs while avoiding common barriers to success
Problem 2: Inability to capture complexity-based integrated care savings opportunity due to limited understanding by local discipline-specific personnel
about how to initiate and sustain integrated physical and mental condition
services due to long-term practice in a segregated reimbursement environment
Cartesian Solutions, Inc.™ experts can: cost effectively
recommend and help develop integrated service delivery, care support, and
integrated
payment methodology based on an expanding literature describing integrated
practice models that lead to improved clinical and functional outcomes
and reduced health service use
Problem 3: Inability to capture complexity-based integrated care savings opportunity due to the use of disease or discipline-oriented, rather than health complexity-based,
approaches to care delivery enhancement and/or reimbursement procedures
Cartesian Solutions, Inc.™ experts can: incorporate health complexity
assessment and intervention methodology as a means to maximize and measure
value for recipients of health services and return on investment for the
organization
Developing successful integrated service systems is complicated. Whether
you represent a physician group, a care delivery system, a health plan,
an employer, a government agency, or a care management organization, it
is important that the changes you make to position yourself to compete
in a “reformed” health system maximize the value you bring
those who pay for or are supported by your services. Using the expertise
of Cartesian Solutions, Inc.™ professionals will enable you to quickly
identify and use the latest, most broad-based, and efficient approaches
to integrated services delivery, to foster holistic (physical and mental)
health and function, to institute measures that foster clinical and financial
sustainability of program design, and to capture increased market share
for health products or cost savings through reduced health service use.
