What Physicians Need to Know
Risk Stratification Models
Ursa Studio enables stratification of patients by risk, leveraging its Population Health Foundations module which includes key patient features and risk factors such as socioeconomic deprivation, chronic disease burden, primary care provider attribution, and plan membership status. It incorporates the University of Wisconsin's Area Deprivation Index (ADI) and the CDC's Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) for health disparity assessment and risk adjustment refinement. The Advanced Analytics suite offers linear and logistic regression models for risk prediction, allowing users to define 'Risk Stratification Fields' to categorize patients by comparable risk scores. Specific content modules like 'Care Pathways by Risk Stratum' are also available.
Social Determinants Integration
Ursa Studio's analytics modules are 'health equity enabled,' designed to assess and address health disparities. It integrates core measures like the Area Deprivation Index (ADI) and the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) to reflect regional socioeconomic deprivation. This allows users to analyze the link between equity and performance, refine risk adjustment, and implement targeted interventions. Individual SVI component measures are available to explore specific impacts of factors like household composition, transportation access, minority status, and language barriers.
Disease Registry Support
While not explicitly named 'Disease Registry Support,' Ursa Studio's capabilities for integrating and modeling diverse healthcare data (claims, EMR, billing) and its specialized modules for chronic conditions (e.g., Chronic Kidney Disease Module, Diabetes Management) provide robust support for managing and analyzing data typically found in disease registries. The platform offers 'timelines of patient risk and disease status' to track disease progression and management.
Care Gap Identification
Ursa Studio assists in identifying the right individuals for targeted interventions. It supports 'actionable chase lists' for precise patient outreach. The Ursa Health Quality Module provides measures to improve quality performance, including the generation of these 'chase lists' for target patients. The platform helps determine effective strategies through informed analyses.
Readmission Prediction
The CMS ACO REACH Module within Ursa Studio includes measures for 30-day all-cause readmissions. The Preventable Hospital Utilization Module helps identify potentially preventable hospitalizations and emergency department encounters. Ursa Health has successfully worked with integrated delivery systems to reduce readmissions from skilled nursing facilities. The platform also offers 'Readmissions Diagnosis' as a content module and its Advanced Analytics Models can be utilized for general risk prediction, which includes readmission prediction.
Claims Data Analysis
Ursa Studio is designed to integrate and clean source data from various systems, including claims, EMR, and billing. It provides a proven framework for ingesting membership, provider, medical claims, and pharmacy claims data from payer partners. The platform has been used to analyze extensive claims data, as demonstrated in a collaboration with Blue Cross NC. It supports the entire data workflow from raw data ingestion and integration to data modeling and analytics development.
Quality Measure Reporting
Ursa Studio facilitates improved quality performance through a comprehensive set of measures, such as UAMCC, TFU, and 30-day all-cause readmissions, particularly within its CMS ACO REACH Module. The Ursa Health Quality Module implements NCQA's Certified for HEDISu00ae Health Plan MY 2025 specifications, generating patient-level measures from claims and EMR data. It supports programs aimed at enhancing quality measure performance, offering variations for longitudinal tracking and comparisons to external results. The HCC / RAF Module aids in achieving accurate risk adjustment by monitoring risk gap closures.
Cohort Builder
Ursa Studio enables the construction of new patient cohorts through sophisticated transformations. Its no-code authoring tool, Object Workshop, allows users to build and manage these cohorts. The platform's modular design supports the sharing and reuse of logic related to patient cohorts.
Geographic Mapping
While Ursa Studio integrates data that includes geographic components, such as the Area Deprivation Index (ADI) and Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) for regional analysis, the platform itself does not explicitly offer native geographic mapping or visualization features.
Physician Tip
Physicians can leverage Ursa Studio for robust clinical insights, understanding patient attribution, and stratifying patients by risk to design more effective care models. The platform provides actionable insights and 'chase lists' for targeted patient outreach, helping to address care gaps and improve quality performance. It supports accurate risk adjustment by monitoring risk gap closures and offers crucial data to understand and mitigate health disparities. The no-code environment allows for rapid development of custom measures and can feed into point-of-care decision support systems.
Ursa Studio is a comprehensive analytics development platform that handles raw data ingestion, integration, data modeling, and business intelligence. It features pre-built connectors for claims, EMR, billing, and other systems, supporting various data types including ACO REACH, generic claims, generic EMR, Canvas EMR, and FHIR data. The platform is interoperable with leading RDBMS systems and can augment third-party visualization tools, serve as a foundation for predictive models, or trigger downstream applications in clinical systems. It also supports transactional email integrations (Sendgrid, Mandrill, SMTP) and file import/export from local or cloud storage (Azure, AWS, GCP). Existing SQL/R/Python code can be incorporated, and Ursa Studio offers flexible deployment options including Ursa Cloud, Hybrid Cloud, Customer Cloud, and On-Premise.
