Contexture partnered with the Center for Improving Value in Health Care (CIVHC) to analyze claims data of health information exchange (HIE) participants to observe trends in cost of care over time across comparison groups to draw insights into the return on investment (ROI) that is attributable to HIE services. Based on the framework developed with CIVHC and a review of medical literature, Contexture then developed ROI calculators to be used with HIE participants to identify estimated administrative savings from efficiencies and estimated reductions in healthcare costs, demonstrating the overall ROI associated with HIE services. This panel will present a successful partnership between an all-payer claims database (APCD) and an HIE, in addition to demonstrating an innovative ROI framework that was developed and implemented, which illustrates a real-world application of ROI calculators for HIE participants ranging from health plans and ACOs to clinics and practices.
