BOSTON, Jan. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Waystar, a leading provider of cloud-based revenue cycle technology, today announced that they have been selected by MassHealth to provide social determinant of health risk scoring for MassHealth members. Through this partnership, Waystar and MassHealth will identify potential ways to strengthen MassHealth's risk adjustment model, as well as evaluate the impact of targeting specific social determinants of health.
Waystar will leverage its Whole Patient Insight ® solution to provide access to patient-specific social determinant risk profiles and predictive analytics. This solution gathers and analyzes patient data to provide individualized risk scores along multiple social determinant of health dimensions, including access to transportation, access to healthy food, health literacy, and financial stress.
"Despite numerous studies illustrating the critical link between socioeconomic and behavior factors on patient heath, most providers still aren't incorporating them into their care decisions," said Matt Hawkins, CEO of Waystar. "Waystar solves this problem by aggregating public, commercial, and clinical data to give providers a better assessment of the true patient risk so they can provide more proactive and targeted care."
Incorporating this Whole Patient Insight® into MassHealth's risk adjustment models will help identify key trends in the sociodemographic makeup of MassHealth members and provide invaluable insight into underlying drivers of patient behaviors and outcomes.
