SolutionsData Analytics

Never-Before-Seen Psychological, Social, and Behavioral Insights at the Population Level




This isn’t just data;
it’s actionable information.

Providers, insurers, and employers need access to much more than biometric and laboratory metrics to achieve whole-person care and develop effective plans and interventions at the population level. Silver Fern offers unparalleled access to behavior and psychosocial assessments and population health analytics for chronic disease management and prevention.

Silver Fern’s Tableau analytics server offers complete data transparency for users. Clients have a dedicated, customizable dashboard that displays population analytics for our 22 proprietary assessment modules. Information about common behaviors, treatment preferences, and barriers to health can be analyzed to better understand why a population is behaving the way it is and to design and deploy targeted interventions.


Create, modify, and micro-target programs, care plans, benefit design, health engagement strategies, and campaigns to drive outcomes and lower cost of care.

We add a level of precision to your understanding of a population, enabling you to take targeted, meaningful, informed actions that move the needle on population health.


Silver Fern Data in Action


UNLOCK INSIGHTS AND SIMPLE SOLUTIONS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY INACCESSIBLE

Using results from the Monitoring Blood Sugars Module, Silver Fern’s client discovered that 1 in 4 members with diabetes responded that they were not testing their blood sugars because, “Blood glucose strips are too expensive.” This large subset of the population was unaware that testing strips were a covered insurance benefit. A targeted information campaign helped ensure that members understood their benefits, getting them get on track with testing and preventing unnecessary costs from insufficient blood sugar monitoring.

BUILDING TARGETED INTERVENTION PLANS TO MOVE THE NEEDLE ON MEDICATION ADHERENCE

Improper adherence to medication impacts quality and length of life, health outcomes, and increases healthcare costs. ^ Using population data from Silver Fern’s Medication Taking Module, a client screened members of their commercial insurance population with type 2 diabetes to assess and address what was commonly getting in the way of proper medication adherence.
