A special thank you to Steven, Rosemary, and Dayna from Mathematica for sharing their expertise during our recent TEAM webinar. With deep experience supporting CMS and CMMI, as well as working directly with hospitals and health systems, Mathematica brought valuable insights into navigating and leveraging TEAM data files.

The session covered:

• An overview of TEAM episode data files and how to link and interpret them

• Use cases for estimating reconciliation target prices—including two methods, one of which offers improved accuracy estimations

• Strategies to optimize post-acute care data, emphasizing that savings opportunities vary by patient episode type and subgroups

  
  

The team also discussed how Mathematica supports hospitals and systems through:

• Ongoing episode monitoring and benchmarking

• Identification of high-value partners

• Target price projections and reconciliation forecasting

• Education, appeals, and validation support

🙋If you’d like to schedule a one-on-one introductory call with Mathematica to explore how they can support your organization, let us know—we’d be happy to facilitate an introduction.
