Realizing near-immediate results (saving a $150,000 account within just 10 days of activation) made North Memorial decision makers excited to truly begin innovating with the platform. In March of 2015, North Memorial began their test utilization pilot, which was built to address four organization-wide priorities:
- Patient quality and experience
- Internal operational efficiency and workflows
- Profitable growth
- Population health management
After implementing their test utilization strategy, North Memorial saw:
- A 127% increase in Total T4 testing over T4 testing
- A 50% reduction in high-cost unreimbursed test ordering
- A 40% increase in educated providers
