Value in healthcare lies at the intersection of Payers, Providers, and Patients.Nascate is focused on this interconnectedness by understanding the Relationships and Behaviors that drive healthcare outcomes.We are a team of healthcare professionals that have experience designing payment systems and developing analytic frameworks that support value-based arrangements.Despite these efforts, we recognized that the industry was still struggling in the transition to sustainable value-based care.The missing element, in our view, was a quantitative way to measure the relationships and behaviors that impact decisions and outcomes in healthcare.We found that missing element by focusing on the intersection of patients, providers, and payers- this is what translates into healthcare experience.Life (geography, access, provider relationships, choice, personal and family health history) informs a person's choices, behaviors, and healthcare outcomes.Life needs to be accounted for in value-based care efforts.Our larger desire was to understand how to quantify and map patient and provider activity and patterns of behavior in such a way that conclusions can be drawn and predictions can be made about the relationships and choices impacting healthcare... "the why".
