What Changed at Lightbeam Health Solutions

Primary Partners Alliance, a physician owned network in Central Florida that runs on Lightbeam's platform, reported a one year analysis of its MSSP and ACO REACH population. Patients it engaged through a completed annual wellness visit cost nearly $70 less per member per month ($947 versus $1,014), were readmitted 9 percent of the time versus 16 percent, and had HCC recapture of 70 percent versus 57 percent, compared with patients who did not complete a visit.

Our read

Real numbers from a named network are rarer than they should be in population health. The comparison is between patients who did and did not complete a wellness visit, so it measures the engagement program as a whole and cannot separate the software from patient selection.

Lightbeam connected its population health platform to ChartSpan's personal health data infrastructure, bringing device based and deviceless remote patient monitoring into one workflow. Monitoring data now feeds the same population health workflows care teams use for risk and outreach.

Our read

Value based care teams can act on monitoring signals inside the platform they already work in, rather than reconciling a separate monitoring feed.
