Rationale and Purpose of Todays Webinar

• High-cost patients are often high-need patients
• Need to identify and target high-need, high-cost
  individuals to customize interventions to meet
  their needs
• Identification and targeting ? not as easy as
  it sounds
• Camden Coalition to develop a Fund-supported
  analytic toolkit to enable communities to zero in
  on high-need, high-cost patients, which is just
  the first step
• Todays objectives
• Learn about the toolkit
• Hear how two health systems use analytics to
  target high-need, high-cost patients
