Doctors use web tool to compare practice based on case mix, acuity

Physicians are still learning the ins and outs of using their own practice data to perform a range of functions, from validating their population case mix to monitoring their care patterns across a patient population. CareAdvantage, Inc. uses inpatient, outpatient, and pharmacy claims and encounter data to offer a vast array of reporting capabilities through a web-based portal. The company's RightPath Navigator is designed to help provider groups and health plans understand and forecast resource consumption, risks, and costs associated with their member populations.
