combination with these statistics, an expansive industry data set, and sophisticated analytical tools,
AHDI performs multiple analysis necessary to evaluate costs, quality and efficiency. Ordinary
claims data is transformed into powerful, actionable intelligence.
• Resources - As part of our package, you will have access to a Medical Director and ERISA
Attorney to assist you with plan design, HIPAA compliance, COBRA issues and Healthcare Reform.
• Planning - It is not just about what happens during an “ACO readiness assessment” or the
inaugural launch of an integrated healthcare solution; it’s truly about supporting the demands of
your local payer community and ensuring that value is delivered.

5. AHDI: Calculation of Value Based Healthcare
• Effectively control healthcare costs while improving health quality, the
following data must be analyzed:
– Population health statistics
– Provider data: quality, cost and compliance
• To ensure standardization, implement the application of the same
statistical measures across all payers
• The American Health Data Institute (AHDI) has been measuring
population health and provider data in order to provide actionable
intelligence to payers
• AHDI has been the central technology engine among a variety of payers
in any given geography

6. AHDI: Provider Practice & Cost Deviation
• Provider practice and cost deviations
– Practice patterns which result in low total costs for the types of illnesses comparable to other
physicians of the same specialty (cost efficiency index)
– Delivery of high levels of post-primary preventive care services for chronically ill patients
– Patterns of clinical and billing practices that avoid service up-coding, services that are not
appropriate for the diagnosis, invalid diagnostic coding and services performed more frequently
than typically appropriate.
• It has been statistically validated that Endorsed Providers are on
average 40% less expensive than providers who do not pass the three,
clinically based tests
• There are on average 15% Non-Endorsed Providers in areas where
there are enough episodes to statistically measure
• It has been actuarially validated that Non-Endorsed Providers on
average will add 10% excess cost to an employers health plan costs
