• We use large government, clinical, and claims databases in developing our benchmarks.

• We have developed statistical methodologies to identify providers with unduly high per member per month costs, accounting for demographics and diagnoses of panel members.

• Based on our statistical analyses, we have developed systems to reimburse providers for their recordkeeping quality, and completeness of required medical screenings of patients in their panel.

• We have evaluated methodology for an intervention to prevent falls in the elderly.

• We designed and analyzed a randomized clinical trial to evaluate a telephone intervention with regard to costs and readmission rates in older patients discharged from hospital and screened for depression.
