Data Walk Posters
Emergency Preparedness
Planning for both natural and man-made disasters is a priority for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The COVID-19 pandemic made it even more evident that emergency preparedness is critically important. Telligen is committed to helping providers and community partners ensure their plan works.
Applying Cost-Benefit Analyses
Across the states of Colorado, Illinois, Iowa and Oklahoma, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has referred nursing homes to Telligen for COVID-19-related interventions. We present Telligen’s evaluation methods and identify implications for the accuracy and conclusions stemming from return on investment and cost-benefit analyses.
Improving Care Coordination
Telligen has engaged with South Denver Care Continuum for a decade with one of many goals being to help them grow and foster an interdependent leadership structure that promotes sustainability without reliance on the QIN-QIO for continued operation. SDCC has persevered and remained true to their goal of reducing avoidable 30-day readmissions despite many roadblocks over the years.
Responding to the Opioid Crisis
More than 43,000 Part D beneficiaries suffered an opioid overdose from prescription opioids, illicit opioids, or both, during 2020. Telligen’s team of quality improvement experts support partners in their efforts to help those who need it most.
Health Equity and Health Literacy
Improving health literacy is a national priority. Research has shown that health literacy is a more important predictor of health than race, socioeconomic status or educational attainment. Telligen’s commitment to improving health literacy is an investment in improving health equity.
