360° of Healthcare with Dr. Stan

Sage Transparency: The Hospital Transparency You Want is Here — If You Know How to Use It.

Listen Later

Stan and Gloria discuss the work that she and her organization, The Employers’ Forum of Indiana, are doing in the realm of hospital transparency, and their mission to improve the value employers and patients receive for their healthcare expenditures. 

Sage has brought together five separate data sources (RAND Corporation, NASHP, Quantros, Turquoise Health and CMS Hospital Compare) into one integrated dashboard. Now it's possible to drill into individual hospital performance in a way not previously available.

Dr. Sachdev talks about how employers and consultants have used Sage and its data source to determine whether they are getting favorable rates.
