Historically, physician profiles were produced and distributed at the payer level. Usually, information at the payer level is not useful because it is too fragmented and does not share common methodology between payers. Integrating data across multiple payers into a single enterprise produces a consistent, actionable profiling application that is far better received by physicians. IDS has over 10 years experience profiling physicians on a variety of variables including cost, utilization, and quality measures. Discover why our profiling applications are rapidly gaining recognition.
