Introducing IAG Saude as ICHOM’s Knowledge Partners

Tuesday, 27 August 2024 / Published in News

Revolutionizing Healthcare: Shifting the Focus from Volume to Value!
At IAG Saúde, we are passionately committed to enhancing healthcare services for the
Brazilian population. We’ve embarked on a transformative journey to deliver what
truly matters: high-value care that prioritizes patient outcomes while optimizing costs.
Our latest initiative involves the implementation of the OLDER PERSON set, integrated
with innovative reimbursement models across several health insurance companies in
Brazil. By leveraging ICHOM metrics, we aim to elevate service quality, ensure that
healthcare professionals are rewarded based on the value they provide, and promote
better resource management.

How Does It Work?
Our approach with the OLDER PERSON SET is innovative within the healthcare services.
We blend outcome measurement with patient costs, utilizing Valor Saúde Brasil by
DRG Brasil – Ambulatory coding system. This advanced system predicts next year’s care
costs by adjusting for each patient’s clinical complexity through state-of-the-art
machine learning algorithms developed by our expert team at IAG Saúde. These
predictions are based on each patient’s clinical conditions and their healthcare
consumption behavior from the previous year.

To achieve the best possible outcomes at the lowest per capita cost, we integrate
PROMs (Patient-Reported Outcome Measures) with multidisciplinary care processes
tailored to each patient. Our computerized clinical decision support center generates
personalized care plans, offering recommendations to patients, families, and the
healthcare team. These are provided in the form of checklists accessible on mobile
devices and desktops, guiding patients throughout their journey within the healthcare
system.

In Brazil, we’ve made significant strides by integrating ICHOM data collection with
comprehensive care process management and cost control. The result? We deliver
outcomes that truly matter to the people we serve.
Join us in revolutionizing healthcare—where value, not volume, is the new standard of
care.

If you’d like to learn more about our services, please visit our website at
www.drgbrasil.com. We are fully prepared to serve Portuguese-speaking countries,
and our systems are adaptable to other languages. We would be more than happy to
discuss how we can meet the needs of anyone requiring our expertise.
