Group Health Analysis: A better way to manage your healthcare

A value gap is created when a company experiences an increase in health care premiums without a corresponding increase in the quality and performance of healthcare services. To improve value, companies need to evaluate and improve both cost and quality.


Identifying the specific drivers of your costs and quality of care is critical to controlling them. Since your population is unique, in order to reduce and control costs, your unique cost and quality drivers must be determined

To accomplish this goal, Dynamic Health Strategies combines the use of proprietary technology, audit discipline, analytical software, and bio-statistical evaluation techniques to identify and evaluate:

Total “spend” associated with the company’s health and wellness benefits
Return On Investment (ROI) of vendors and services
Cost “drivers” within the population
Baseline, current, and projected state of the group’s health
Quality and management of chronic diseases
Audit accuracy of ASO services
Clinical care issues
Variances in utilization, cost or clinical care by divisions, geographic areas, health plans, other elements
Participation in voluntary wellness benefit services
Appropriateness of targeted interventions or preventive services

We facilitate your management’s objectives through the following process:
