A required outcome measure can become a product decision before it becomes a report.
Auditability, member burden, and clinical meaning rarely improve at the same pace.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I can’t take a number to our clients if we can’t explain how it was verified.”
Pablo Diaz · Health Plan Benefits Director
Sponsors the benefit and must defend the reported work-function outcome to internal clinical, finance, and employer stakeholders.
What is at stake
The health plan launch date is fixed, but member reports, clinician notes, and session data disagree 22% of the time on 90-day work function. You have to set the measurement rules now, knowing contracts will lock them in.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- auditability vs. member burden
- launch speed vs. evidence verification
- clinical meaning vs. contractual standardization
- automated scale vs. reviewable accuracy
- health-plan confidence vs. implementation flexibility
