Promoting Evidence-Based Care The philosophy behind our Clinical Support Program is best described as "reducing unexplained clinical variance." Clinical variance occurs when different practitioners treat patients differently for the same condition. At ACN Group, we use our clinical expertise and advanced database systems to identify similarities among patients with common conditions. Then, we pass this information on to contracted practitioners through best practices and education initiatives. As a result, they are able to create consistent, evidence-based treatment plans – so they can improve clinical performance. Promoting best practices increases efficiency, keeps costs manageable, and improves the quality of health care. The ACN Group Difference Is Obvious These two "scattergrams" illustrate how clinical performance changed to reflect best practices for one network between 1997 and 2001. (Each scattergram plots network practitioners by units per date of service and dates of service per patient.) Our goal is to migrate network performance from here...  To here, consistent and best practice care  Back to Top |
