Consulting Services

Thomson Reuters has the knowledge, the resources, and the consultative experience to help government agencies balance the cost and quality of healthcare within the constraints of the fiscal environment. Our experience with multiple federal agencies enables us to provide unique insights for addressing specific program needs. Our benchmarks help agencies better identify opportunities for program redesign and improvement, while our proven clinical and analytic methods ensure the information is reliable.

Length of Stay Benchmarks

For over 42 years, payers have relied on Thomson Reuters industry standard LOS benchmarks to understand complex length of stay (LOS) resource use in order to make appropriate care-related decisions quickly and effectively. Used to manage 60 million American covered lives, LOS norms help to pre-certify and pre-authorize plan members. Cost savings can be identified by analyzing LOS data concurrently, and significant trends can be seen by comparing against external norms.

Advantage Suite

Integrates information from diverse sources and systems, organizes it to support decision making, and enables easy access to information in a flexible, customized application. Its powerful applications are linked to an integrated warehouse of medical and prescription claims, encounters, eligibility, lab results, authorizations, health risks assessments, and performance measures.

Statistical Informatics

Healthcare policy development and decision making in many areas benefit from sound statistical information and analysis, presented in accessible form. Yet too often, sophisticated analyses are published only in technical journals and not delivered in useable ways to the policy makers who rely on them to guide decisions.
