Waiver evaluation/independent assessment

More than ever, government agencies are calling for comprehensive evaluation and independent assessment of health-related public programs. They want hard evidence that a funded demonstration project has the potential to meet its goals, as well as developed strategies on how it can be improved and implemented. AFMC can help you document and present that evidence as effectively as possible.
Our team offers:

• Experience with health care and related programs. We understand the clinical, financial and political environment in which health care programs must function.
• Suggestions for quality improvement and cost containment. We can help identify and make the most of opportunities for positive change. And should you choose to take our partnership to the next level, we offer outreach, education, utilization review and other services.
• Identification of high-cost patients with similar characteristics. We can help find “clusters” or subgroups of resource-intensive patients with similar characteristics for intervention to improve care coordination and control costs.
• Focused studies for quality or cost-containment into disease-specific conditions and medication use issues.
• A flexible design that evolves with your program. Demonstration programs typically change in light of new findings, short-term results or political or financial factors.
• Comprehensive reports showing short-term and long-term utilization and outcomes. Our evaluation team will measure how and how often services are used, as well as physical, mental and social outcomes at specified intervals. We can track improvements in activities of daily living, employment and other aspects of health and quality of life.
