Our Services

CareScientific is an analytics and consulting company aimed at improving the effectiveness of disease management and wellness, medication adherence, and pharmaceutical care programs. CareScientific specializes in product development, measurement, and evaluation.

Product development projects can include program design, analytic tool development (e.g., client modeling), and marketing/sales material development. In program design, CareScientific uses the science of cost-effectiveness analysis to determine the real net savings opportunity by determining the full costs and benefits of each intervention based on evidence from randomized clinical trials and epidemiological data. Using cost-effectiveness filtering™, CareScientific can accurately distinguish between those activities that, while clinically appropriate, do not save money and those that provide real cost savings.

CareScientific has over a decade of experience in healthcare program evaluation, having conducted more than 100 custom analyses and receiving several research awards from scientific and professional organizations. Using comprehensive plan data and proven evaluation methodologies, CareScientific helps organizations determine the real outcomes from their healthcare programs, including:

  • Financial outcomes, including ROI
  • Clinical outcomes
  • Humanistic outcomes, such as quality-of-life
  • Member satisfaction and provider satisfaction
  • Processes of care and other leading indicators that are necessary steps to outcomes improvement
