INTELLIGENCE MEMBER LOGIN ANALYTICS MEMBER LOGIN SOLUTIONS SERVICES RESOURCES NEWS ABOUT Sg2 CONTACT Children’s Hospitals The evolving health care landscape (eg, procedures shifting outpatient/off-campus, rise in high-acuity cases, new technologies and innovation) marks new strategic priorities in pediatrics, including regional presence, collaborative care models, digital strategy, population health and upstream channel management. And as the landscape further evolves toward value-based care, providers will be integral in addressing social determinants of health to improve outcomes. Sg2 has deep expertise and capabilities in children’s hospital and pediatric strategy—driven by analytical tools, consulting engagements and dedicated pediatric subject matter experts—that we leverage to help children’s hospitals achieve smart growth. Impact of Change® Forecast for Children’s Hospitals For all hospital types, an effective strategy must consider the nuances of caring for children. Utilization of care by pediatric patients is impacted by different trends than adult care, including distinct policy, epidemiology and innovation impacts. Sg2’s Impact of Change (IoC) specialized forecasts for pediatrics providers leverage a robust, 10-year forecasting tool designed specifically for projecting pediatric care utilization across the care continuum. Each year, Sg2’s pediatrics experts evaluate pediatric-specific impacts in outpatient spaces, as well as update a series of impact factors to forecast how each of these variables will influence inpatient discharges at children’s hospitals and non–children’s hospitals independently, recognizing the unique case types and services offered at each setting. In particular, the inpatient children’s hospital forecast considers trends at a disease and procedure level, such as more complex conditions and their varied utilization patterns; access to subspecialists, technologies and critical care capabilities not available to non–children’s hospitals; and different technology adoption rates and care innovation. Claims-Based Analytics Sg2’s claims-based tools particularly benefit children’s hospitals by providing visibility into the outpatient space as well as care provided by adult and pediatric subspecialists. Our tools answer key strategic questions about pediatric access, channel strategy and network building.
