Once a week, physicians receive a text letting them know specific information about how they are handling a particular practice area. Curious to learn more, they follow the link for a deeper look. What is nice about this approach is that it is easy and can be accessed at a time convenient to the physician.
Physicians can see the sample size, date range, and are given some general information to consider related to this particular practice area.
Peer comparison is where the power is. Curious as to why their performance is different from other respected physicians, this often triggers conversations and collaboration between colleagues, without any administrative involvement. For a quick video explaining how physicians feel about this, click here to head over to Our Point of View page.
A historical look at the data allows the physician to see how their practice patterns have changed over time in relation to their peer group. Physicians' natural competitiveness also plays a role in this approach, leading to positive practice pattern changes.
For every insight – our name for these practice areas – Agathos offers a detailed explanation of how the data was calculated. This builds physician trust in the data.
To build even more trust, Agathos provides a list of recent encounters related to this practice area and allows the physician to refresh their memory on the treatment they provided. Most often, this assures the physician that the data doesn’t lie. We know physicians trust the data because 85% of the physicians with access to it click through and review it every month.
