with Amanda Berra

Health Care Advisory Board

Amanda Berra introduces the Medical Home Health Coach Practice Impact Calculator, an analytics tool based on a case study from Mercy Clinics in Des Moines, Iowa. Mercy discovered that an RN Health Coach FTE generated significant ROI by uncovering opportunities to provide evidence-based services and capturing pay-for-performance incentives. The Practice Impact Calculator uses institution-specific data to determine the impact of a similar staffing model at any physician practice.
