BOSTON, April 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — “Keeping patients healthy at home” is the mantra of Dr. Sheila Magoon, Executive Director of Buena Vida y Salud ACO and South Texas Physician Alliance in Harlingen, Texas. Her ACO has recently signed a multi-year contract to use a predictive analytics platform from Health Data Analytics Institute (HDAI). The platform is identifying Buena Vida y Salud (BVyS) ACO patients at greater risk of adverse events and higher resource utilization to prevent avoidable encounters and improve their quality of care. HDAI has pioneered a method for more objective performance evaluation based on benchmarking against precisely matched comparison populations (“digital twins”) which leverages an extensive suite of predictive models for refined care targeting and management.
