By way of incentivization of effective care, Acumen's clients can better valuate provider performance with regard to cost, quality, and other domains. The company is currently developing episode-based cost measures and quality measures for clinicians, hospitals, and post-acute care providers.
Program Evaluation
Program evaluation is not only necessary in the policy implementation but also in its evaluation.
