Behavioral health analytics provider ODH Inc. www.odhsolutions.com and IBM Watson Health http://ibm.com/watsonhealth have recently launched Mentrics a population health management platform. The platform, built specifically for managed care organizations is a new approach to behavioral health data designed to help managed care organizations transform the quality and cost of behavioral healthcare.
Using Watson Health Cloud, the system is able to gather and aggregate health data, including behavioral and physical medical services and prescription claims from fragmented sources. This means that one easy-to-use platform is able to deliver comprehensive and predictive insights using a coordinated and collaborative approach.
Mentrics can be deployed in a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model on IBM’s Watson Health Cloud for seamless integration with an organization’s existing infrastructure and storage capacity.
The cloud environment also enables integration of clinical, scientific, and exogenous data in structured and unstructured formats and can offer cognitive insights into risk stratification and personalized care.
Mentrics supports behavioral health population enabling the platform to provide understanding of the whole population and the cohort most likely to benefit from intervention. Once identified, care coordinators can address potential gaps in care and discuss interventions with the members, physicians, and internal stakeholders.
Mentrics is able to compare the risk-adjusted performance of providers and creates score cards to assess the performance of the entire provider network in support of value-based payment arrangements.
In addition, Mentrics is able to create an easy-to-use longitudinal visualization of each member’s treatment history and trends for all services and pharmacy. This helps care coordinators pinpoint gaps in care or lapses in medication adherence. The platform is able to further deliver predictive analytics that can identify members climbing the cost and risk curve.
According to Michael Jarjour, ODH President and CEO, “Mentrics represents what we believe will be a turning point in the industry’s ability to substantially improve care quality and outcomes, as well as network efficiency for reduced costs.”
