Podcast: How Can Health Plans Rethink Risk Stratification for New Members?

January’s rush of new members leaves health plans reacting to risk they can't see. Karla Mills, Vice President of Product Innovation at Surescripts, joins host Brian Zimmerman on Becker's Healthcare Podcast to discuss what they can do now to get ahead of it.

Tune in to learn how health plans can prepare for January’s new-member surge—what Mills calls “blizzard season”—which leaves plans without a timely and complete picture of member risk.

Mills details:

• How medication signals work as an early indicator of chronic conditions and comorbidities
• What it takes to risk-stratify and prioritize members on day one, rather than months later as claims catch up, across care management, pharmacy and population health
• A practical three-point checklist health plans can use now to get ahead of blizzard season without standing up anything new.
