Waymark published a study in the New England Journal of Medicine evaluating their early intervention model in Medicaid, finding reduced hospital and ER visits and improved care quality. The study involved over 64,000 patients covered by two Medicaid health plans in Washington and Virginia. Waymark’s community-based care teams and technology connect rising-risk patients with preventive care, reducing avoidable hospitalizations by 48.3%. Their multidisciplinary teams use data science to predict and provide targeted services to high-risk patients with over 90% accuracy. Waymark’s goal is to improve care for Medicaid patients and reduce unnecessary costs while increasing healthcare system capacity.
