Instrument auditable 90-day work-function measurement
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.
“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 pulls against what
- 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
What is at stake
A fixed launch requires an outcome measure that members can complete and the health plan can trust. The wrong commitment creates lasting reporting and care-experience costs
Why Sword Health
For virtual rehabilitation, trusted outcome reporting can influence whether care results remain credible beyond the clinical encounter.

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
