Services

Santa Barbara Actuaries offers a wide variety of actuarial and healthcare consulting services. The list below covers just a few examples of our services. For more specific details, please contact us directly.  

Financial Outcomes Evaluation

As the healthcare industry continues to transition from “fee for service” to “fee for value”, the ability to accurately measure the result (or value) of a healthcare intervention is ever-increasing in importance. We have hands on experience in both serving as a third-party evaluator to measure outcomes as well as guiding organizations to stand up their own outcomes evaluation methodologies and protocols based on their needs.

Services


• End-to-end outcomes evaluation services ranging from study design, data analysis, statistical testing, to communication of results

• Assist clients in standing up their own outcomes evaluation capabilities

Shared Savings

As the number of shared savings / gain sharing deals increase, many organizations underestimate, or completely ignore, the aggregate amount of financial risk they are taking on. No evaluation method can perfectly account for all random fluctuations caused by factors unrelated to the intervention, thus there is always a non-trivial probability that an outcomes evaluation may produce artificially high gains or losses. We model expected risk levels and payouts associated with different shared savings models to help you make informed decisions when entering shared savings deals.

Services


• Customize shared savings contract arrangements

• Model expected revenue payouts

• Test shared savings design methods
