The challenge

Healthcare clients enlist Agathos to shape behaviors that

• Reduce length of stay
• Reduce clinical variation
• Improve patient flow
• Improve provider happiness
• Improve patient outcomes

The Agathos solution

Agathos shows physicians how their practice patterns compare to those of their peers. This piques their curiosity and sparks self-determined change that leads to positive impacts on all of the above challenges.

5 steps to changes in practice patterns

1. Agathos works with you to determine which practice patterns may have the greatest impact at your hospital. (See the insights we currently track on the back of this sheet.)
2. Agathos sends a text once/week to physicians with individual practice pattern data and how each physician compares to peers in that specific practice area. 86% of the physicians with access to Agathos regularly log in and interact with their data. (Compare that to physician engagement with your current dashboards.)
3. Physicians can drill down to review recent cases.
4. Curiosity piqued, physicians engage with one another to arrive at new ways to practice. (Many physicians share the positive impact this has on culture and team engagement.)
5. Practice patterns change without heavy administrative burden. Physicians improve on their own. At the same time, metrics trend in the right direction. Our ROI model includes the hard costs you care about as well as qualitative impacts on physician satisfaction and culture.
   

Healthcare leaders seeking to reduce clinical variation are often unsure of the best way to accelerate change. Agathos shows physicians how their practice patterns compare to those of their peers. This piques their curiosity and sparks self-determined change that lowers the cost of care and improves patient outcomes.

What makes Agathos unique is our focus on meeting the data needs of the physician as the end user. While administrative, operational, and financial leadership has received a great deal of attention, solutions for physicians have been largely ignored. The Agathos approach for physician engagement with data is led by our team of data scientists and seven physician advisors. Our key differentiation is that physicians self-select into using Agathos with sustained engagement levels as high as 85%, without the need for administrative pressure or mandates.
