Four unique evaluation engines enable single-provider assessment, multiple-provider comparison, scoring & discovery search across seven healthcare sectors
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- OnlyBoth Inc. has launched three new evaluation engines, complementing its original benchmarking engine, designed to meet the healthcare industry and consumer demand for comprehensive provider comparisons. Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based engines enable distinct comparative searches for thousands of hospitals, nursing homes, dialysis facilities, long-term care hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation facilities, home health and hospice agencies nationwide at www.benchmine.com. Four engine types, covering seven healthcare sectors, give rise to 28 different ways to bring unprecedented data-driven transparency to U.S. healthcare performance. “To enable provider performance transparency, we rethought the entire benchmarking process and developed an innovative means to analyze the relevant facility data and retrieve critical performance insights for various healthcare sectors,” said Raul Valdes-Perez, PhD, OnlyBoth Inc. CEO and cofounder. “By empowering users to make evaluations based on their exact needs, we deliver unique, previously unavailable insights for better care decision-making, at no cost.” OnlyBoth Inc. uses the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) data—updated frequently—to generate language-based insights about healthcare facilities in an efficient, objective way. The user chooses an appropriate engine based on the goal of the search:
The evaluation engines provide comparative insights in plain English, a welcome solution for a traditionally complex, data-rich process. Spanning seven healthcare sectors, patients use facility performance results to make informed decisions about care, and providers use the insights to determine exactly how they measure up to peers or competitors to motivate improvement in strategy, planning, and execution. “The collective offering of OnlyBoth’s reimagined benchmarking engines demonstrates a commitment to understanding provider performance and delivering transparency to advance care quality across healthcare environments,” said Christine K. Cassel, MD, MACP, a visiting professor and presidential chair at the University of California, San Francisco, and OnlyBoth Inc. advisory board member. The proprietary evaluation tools leveraging CMS performance measures are a much-needed complement to existing solutions that highlight healthcare facility performance. Websites like Yelp and Google capture individual instances of patient experience, while U.S. News and World Report uses its own proprietary scoring system to convey a specific level of performance. By integrating OnlyBoth evaluation engines into their resource strategies, decision-makers can gain extensive, up-to-date information about performance through unique, comparative insights.
