HealthCore - Finding evidence and truth at the core of healthcare.

Econometric Modeling

OUR APPROACH

Our team of researchers have a deep understanding of the critical policy issues, data expertise, and methodological proficiency to help you navigate complex topics in areas such as insurance benefit designs and provider reimbursement practices, to get to well-informed patient-centered answers.

When you are seeking to answer questions with economic impact using large or linked data sets, it can be difficult to know where to start or what to do when you get to an answer. Econometric modeling requires more than sound analytic practices. It requires conceptual understanding of the problem being solved, access to the most current data available, and insights beyond the numbers. Our team of experts helps you better understand what works and what doesn’t.

Econometric Modeling CAPABILITIES

Project Management

Helping deliver full service project management under the supervision of formally trained PMs who have hands-on experience running prospective and retrospective research studies. Our project managers are the primary point of contact for our clients, and our collaborative teams are built to the size, scope, and duration of each project to deliver study needs within the study requirements.

Health Services Research

Offering a comprehensive understanding of the social and economic factors, system structures, and healthcare processes that affect patients’ utilization of healthcare and drive health outcomes. Our team has the expertise to assess the impact of these factors on the delivery, cost, and quality of care. This, combined with access to and understanding of diverse sources of linked data, provides a unique perspective to help you design and implement your study.

Large and Complex Database Analytics

Providing deep database expertise with medical claims, pharmacy claims, and laboratory results in collaboration with our data providers helps to ensure the validity and quality of the raw data. Scientific expertise integrating and harmonizing diverse data types and sources gives us an unparalleled understanding of the nuances of the data assets we manage.

Patient and Provider Outreach

Establishing a comprehensive sampling frame based on provider characteristics, patient eligibility status, prescription fills, and diagnoses or procedure codes from medical claims and laboratory test results. Our team of experts has deep familiarity with an extensive administrative claims repository to facilitate complex research designs. We are uniquely able to connect clinical and claims data and reach back to physicians and patients within these samples in ways others cannot.

Machine Learning

Providing supervised machine learning to deliver stronger studies with more reliable results is one way we can improve the quality of healthcare. Our team of research experts build predictive models in multidimensional electronic data to identify health outcomes and reduce bias from misclassification errors. We validate claims using medical records, disease registries, patient and provider surveys, focus groups, and clinical oncology data.

Survey Based Research

Delivering actionable evidence to better guide current disease management and to assist in the development of new therapeutic or biomedical technologies. Through structured, semi-structured, or cognitive interviews and focus groups, we provide access to a level of patient and clinician-reported information not found in other large-scale sources of health data including medical and pharmacy claims, paper-based and electronic medical records, and disease registries.

Medical Record Review and Abstraction

Establishing a more complete picture of the de-identified patients in your analysis with our ability to conduct in-depth medical record review and abstraction. We start with your objectives for the review and apply a standard, step-by-step methodology documenting the details that can provide important information for your study or the development of healthcare recommendations and guidelines.

PRO and Survey Instrument Development

Helping to deliver the consumer perspective through patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in evaluating treatment efficacy is a key strength. PROs are recognized as irreplaceable in many research areas because they provide data that cannot be captured in other ways. Our team has established expertise developing and delivering PRO study designs, survey development and testing, and data analysis.

Sometimes Less Is More . . . at Least When It comes to Radiation Therapy for Breast Cancer

Early-stage breast cancer patients often need radiation therapy as part of their treatment. Evidence on how long the radiation treatment should last has been evolving. Our results highlight that payor policies can significantly accelerate adoption of evidence-driven care above and beyond what physicians are doing on their own.
