Know which practices are moving your numbers, and why.

For ACO leaders and the teams who manage and grow the network.

An ACO earns shared savings when spending comes in under its benchmark. Kairon Health shows which practices’ cost is growing faster than the national trend, why your cost per patient moved and which practices to recruit next.

What changes

What changes when the numbers move

Before

The ACO report says spending rose. Nobody can say which practices drove it.

With Kairon

Each practice’s cost trend is compared with the national trend, after crediting its change in risk, and scaled by its attributed patients.

Before

Cost per patient went up, and nobody can say whether new patients, departures or the patients who stayed moved it.

With Kairon

Kairon splits the change into leavers, joiners and the patients who stayed, and the three add up to the change exactly.

Before

Preparing for a recruiting meeting means days of pulling public files.

With Kairon

Each target has a conversation guide with its ACO history, how the practice has changed and where your services fit, ready to download as a PDF.

How it works

Four questions, in order

  1. Is our cost trend beating the national trend?

    See which practices’ cost is growing faster than the national trend, after crediting their change in risk.

  2. Which practices are moving your numbers?

    Weigh each practice’s trend by its attributed patients, then see whose patients got more expensive and whose panel changed.

  3. Why did cost move?

    Last report’s cost per person-year, minus leavers, plus the change among patients who stayed, plus joiners, equals this report’s.

  4. Who should we add next?

    Find targets in your territory, read each practice’s conversation guide and follow every prospect in pipeline reports.

What’s inside

What your network team gets

  • Leverage Index

    Each practice’s cost trend against the national trend, after crediting its change in risk, scaled by its attributed patients. Built from your CMS quarterly expenditure and assignment reports.

  • Cost attribution

    A change in cost per person-year split into leavers, joiners and the patients who stayed, by practice, facility or provider, risk-adjusted if you choose. Click a practice for the patients behind it.

  • Attribution health

    See who stayed, who is new or returning, and why each patient left, whether they died, moved to another of your providers, went to a competitor or stopped coming in. Plus the patients your clinicians see who are attributed to another practice.

  • Network growth

    Targets in your territory, largest Medicare panels first, each with a conversation guide covering where your services fit. Salesforce matching is switched on when you ask, and pipeline reports score each prospect from its conversations.

Built for

Who makes the network call

  • ACO Leadership

    Decide where to focus and who to recruit with the same evidence your team sees.

  • Finance and Analytics

    Explain a cost change by who joined, who left and who stayed, down to the patient.

  • Network Development

    Start every outreach with the practice’s conversation guide, not a cold list.
