Workflow cloud 05 · Impact Analytics
Know which programs worked while you can still change course.
For the leaders who decide which programs to keep.
In Kairon Health, each study compares a program against a matched comparison group using difference-in-differences. The effect you report belongs to the program, not to the patients who happened to enroll.
The demo runs VBC Impact on illustrative data, and works best on a larger screen.
What changes
What changes when the board asks why
Patients who had a wellness visit cost less. Nobody can say whether they were healthier to begin with.
A matched comparison group and difference-in-differences separate the program’s effect from the patients’ starting health.
Programs are renewed because they have always run.
Each program you study gets an effect estimate with its confidence interval, so you keep what pays and stop what doesn’t.
The board sees trend lines and asks what caused them.
Every metric drills from portfolio to practice to patient, and the same numbers drive worklists and scorecards.
How it works
How an effect gets measured
Define the metric
Metrics are configuration built from shared data attributes, so a new measure needs no SQL.
Build the comparison
Pick the intervention group and match a comparison group on built-in patient and practice attributes.
Measure the effect
Difference-in-differences compares both groups before and after, separating the program from background trends.
Act on it
Results sit beside the metrics your teams already track, so the next decision uses the same numbers.

What’s inside
What you can measure
Configurable metrics
450+ metric definitions in production, covering 200 quality measures. Add one by defining its logic, entities and target, without an engineering ticket.
Forecasts and alerts
Year-end trajectory and what-if forecasting per contract and measure, plus alerts when a practice falls below target.
Causal impact studies
Difference-in-differences and regression against matched comparison groups.
Portfolio to patient
Pre-aggregated metrics drill from the whole portfolio down to a single practice and patient.
