One Care Street: Predictive Modeling and Health Coaching

The company, through Haelan Corporation (Haelan), acquired its proprietary One Care Street product. This product seeks to identify the members in a covered population that are likely to utilize healthcare services in the next six to twelve months, before they begin requiring medical resources. One Care Street’s proprietary, patent-pending predictive modeling formula compiles and analyzes the participants’ assessment data and identifies individuals that would likely require higher levels of near-term care. One Care Street also incorporates a healthcare intervention platform in the form of health coaching and also provides behavioral and decision support to participants to address non-disease-based factors contributing to their sense of illness.

Nurse Help Line

The company’s Nurse Help Line is a triage, advice, referral and health counseling service that provides individuals with access to registered nurses. Its nurses use algorithm-based assessment tools to recommend specific responses to medical issues and have access to provider and network information to direct individuals to medical resources.

Through its Nurse Help Line, individuals may also be identified for referral to its other disease management or care management programs.

Utilization Management and Care Management Programs

The company's principal services also include managing high-risk, high-need and high-cost populations. It helps its clients by preventing hospital admissions and readmissions among the complex and chronically ill members. These members account for a disproportionate share of medical spending, with a much higher number of hospitalizations and episodes of emergency care than the rest of the general population. The company’s focus is typically on a small percentage of a health plan’s membership who are often suffering from various illnesses simultaneously, are frail and elderly, and often have non-medical concerns as well that contribute to poor health outcomes.

The company’s care management services feature evidence-based and physician-guided care management planning, remote monitoring technology, a network of skilled nursing facilities and home health providers, and a national network of specialized care managers, who provide face-to-face and in-home member assessments and care management interventions. Designed for patients with multiple co-morbidities, this program involves the management of a range of medical and psychosocial conditions affecting a patient, using preventative care management before, during and after a post-acute episode.

Disease Management Programs

The company’s disease management services are provided for individuals with a diagnosis of asthma, diabetes, coronary heart disease, hypertension, and congestive heart failure. These services focus on both the medical and behavioral aspects of chronic health care management. The programs involve clinical assessments and the provision of information on self-care, medication and treatment adherence. By including 24-hour access to its nurse help line, participants have accessible resources for questions or issues that arise with their disease.

The company’s disease management programs are based on treatment guidelines for each disease. The programs provide condition-specific assessment, support and education with behavior-based interventions according to the patient’s identified risk level.

ANALYSIS FEATURES

SWOT Analysis

SWOT, which stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, is an analytical framework that identifies the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable for a company.

Enhanced SWOT Analysis

Enhanced SWOT is a 3×3 grid that arranges strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats into one scheme:

• How to use the strengths to take advantage of the opportunities?
• How to use the strengths to reduce likelihood and impact of the threats?
• How to overcome the weaknesses that obstruct taking advantage of the opportunities?
• How to overcome the weaknesses that can make the threats a reality?

Upon answering these questions a company can develop a project plan to improve its business performance.

PESTEL Analysis

PESTEL (also termed as PESTLE) is an ideal tool to strategically analyze what influence different outside factors – political, economic, sociocultural, technological, environmental and legal – exert on a business to later chart its long term targets.

Being part of the external analysis when carrying out a strategic assessment or performing a market study, PESTEL gives an overview of diverse macro-environmental factors that any company should thoughtfully consider. By perceiving these outside environments, businesses can maximally benefit from the opportunities while minimizing the threats to the organization.

Key Factors Examined by PESTEL Analysis:

• Political – What opportunities and pressures are brought by political bodies and what is the degree of public regulations’ impact on the business?
• Economic – What economic policies, trends and structures are expected to affect the organization, what is this influence’s degree?
• Sociological – What cultural and societal aspects will work upon the demand for the business’s products and operations?
• Technological – What impact do the technological aspects, innovations, incentives and barriers have on the organization?
• Environmental – What environmental and ecological facets, both locally and farther afield, are likely to predetermine the business?
• Legal – What laws and legislation will exert influence on the style the business is carried out?

IFE, EFE, IE Matrices

The Internal Factor Evaluation matrix (IFE matrix) is a strategic management tool helping audit or evaluate major weaknesses and strengths in a business’s functional areas. In addition, IFE matrix serves as a basis for identifying and assessing relationships amongst those areas. The IFE matrix is utilised in strategy formulation.

The External Factor Evaluation matrix (EFE matrix) is a tool of strategic management that is typically utilised to assess current market conditions. It is an ideal instrument for visualising and prioritising the threats and opportunities a firm is facing.

The essential difference between the above mentioned matrices lies in the type of factors incorporated in the model; whilst the latter is engaged in internal factors, the former deals exceptionally with external factors – those exposed to social, political, economic, legal, etc. external forces.

Being a continuation of the EFE matrix and IFE matrix models, the Internal External matrix (IE matrix) rests upon an investigation of external and internal business factors integrated into one suggestive model.

Porter Five Forces Analysis

The Porter’s five forces analysis studies the industry of operation and helps the company find new sources of competitive advantage. The analysis surveys an industry through five major questions:

1. What composes a threat of substitute products and services?
2. Is there a threat of new competitors entering the market?
3. What is the intensity of competitive rivalry?
4. How big is the bargaining power of buyers?
5. How significant is the bargaining power of suppliers?

VRIO Analysis

VRIO stands for Value, Rarity, Imitability, Organization. This analysis helps to evaluate all company’s resources and capabilities and bring them together into one aggregate table that includes:

• Tangible resources
  • Financial
  • Physical
  • Technological
  • Organizational
• Intangible resources
  • Human
  • Innovation and Creativity
  • Reputation
• Organizational capabilities

The result of the analysis gives a clear picture of company’s competitive and economic implications, answering the questions if the resources mentioned above are:

• Valuable?
• Rare?
• Costly to imitate?
• Organized properly?
