THE PROBLEM
Over $760 billion is wasted in US healthcare each year*
Overtreatment and low-value care are two leading contributors to the problem.
Measuring clinical waste has emerged as a leading priority for hospitals, health systems, physician groups, and medical societies. Physician input to guide sound measurement is critical to achieving meaningful and actionable results.

THE SOLUTION
Appropriateness measures
We’ve conducted thousands of interviews and focus groups with specialists across various fields of medicine to find discernible patterns of unnecessary medical care in their specialty.
Using clinical wisdom from experts to create sophisticated algorithms which identify practice patterns that are excessive or inappropriate.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Our clients receive detailed appropriateness measures to help better understand and navigate clinical waste. Measures can be used to educate healthcare leaders and are often applied to analytics that drive improvement.
How it works
GAM metrics identify areas of waste and overuse to help reduce the overall healthcare cost burden for payers, providers, and patients.
Measurement Development
Using the body of evidence from the medical literature and the clinical wisdom of practicing physicians we identify candidate areas for measurement development.
Specialty Focus Groups
Our measures are vetted by a group of expert specialists with a keen interest in the appropriateness of medical care in their specialty.
Using the Metric
Our clients apply our metric algorithms to data sets to identify areas for performance improvement. Some clients also use the metric logic and background information for local educational efforts and quality collaboratives.
Staying Current
Our expert clinical team provides the latest literature on low-value care and shares frequent updates on new trends and state-of-the-art best practices.
