From coast to coast, MRM Group™ has partnered with hospitals, healthcare systems, networks, and private practices, empowering clients to deliver the best possible care and create the best possible patient experiences. Through both consulting engagements and comprehensive education programs, we’ve taught them best practices in documentation, record-keeping, and communications with both patients and other providers. As a result, MRM Group clients have achieved results—quantified results—that they never before thought possible.
When it comes to risk education, many healthcare organizations—and even their risk education partners—struggle to measure results. MRM Group is laser-focused on just that—delivering meticulously-measured, quantified results. From core knowledge to receptivity to behavior change to bottom-line financial impact, MRM Group measures program performance every step of the way.
Through a variety of measurement techniques, MRM Group collects a broad range of data with a focus on six key performance indicators (KPIs):
Throughout the course of the program, MRM Group measures participants’ knowledge of annual themes and carefully measures its progress—an important first step toward sustained practice change.
High satisfaction levels are important indicators of relevance, future compliance trends, and the likelihood of actual behavior change. MRM Group clients typically see participant satisfaction metrics in the range of 95% to 100%.
At the clinical level, sustained behavior change is where the rubber meets the road. This KPI measures the improvements being made in how care is being delivered to patients and how that care is documented and communicated. MRM Group clients typically see behavior change in the 90% to 100% range.
Taking program performance to the next level, sustained improvements in care delivery, documentation, and communication invariably translates to fewer claims. MRM Group works with clients to measure and track claim frequency from the years before engagement and every year thereafter.
In addition, clients typically experience substantial decreases in the severity of the claims that do occur.
MRM Group clients typically experience 55% to 85% reductions in claim frequency and 50% to 85% reductions in claim severity.
As claim frequency and severity begin to plummet, malpractice premiums quickly follow suit, and often, premium credits and reserves are returned to the organization and/or providers. MRM Group proudly takes performance measurement all the way to the ROI level.
Many MRM Group clients have experienced triple-digit ROIs.
“While I had some initial skepticism about MRM Group’s risk education program, I’m happy to say that they have proven me wrong. These days, I am advocating that we expand their program throughout our organization, using their methodology to improve not only malpractice risk, but also our medical group's clinical performance."
