November 16, 2022 – Sg2, a Vizient company, announced the launch of Provider Connections, an analytics solution to help healthcare organizations improve patient care coordination through greater physician engagement and network optimization. Every year physician referrals made outside of network can cost healthcare organizations hundreds of millions of dollars. Sg2 Provider Connections takes direct aim at network leakage to save healthcare organizations money.
Provider Connections is a tablet-enabled, claims-based analytics application that assists healthcare organizations in identifying physician relationship opportunities and executing referral pattern initiatives. It integrates all-payer claims data for each market, includes a proprietary methodology to help organizations quantify the financial impact of leakage and assists with network integrity improvement efforts.
“Healthcare providers are asking for visibility into which procedures are being sent out of network and where they are being performed,” said Tara Gallagher, product director, Sg2. “Provider Connections provides the transparency to achieve short-term growth initiatives and prioritize physician outreach planning.”
