Quantum Health's research shows that 40% of all referrals are self-referrals, and more than 60% of these may be to the wrong specialist, resulting in an average of 5.5 visits over 11 months, and $3,500 in unnecessary 
diagnostic tests.

Coordinated Health/Care™ is an important response to today's runaway healthcare costs and growing patient frustration.  Medical care often involves an extensive array of physicians and facilities that can be confusing to patients, their families, and even physicians.  In the confusion and uncertainly, patients self-refer to the wrong specialist, diagnostic procedures get duplicated, and critical information fails to get into the right hands. 

In Coordinated Health/Care, a staff of Care Coordinators provides patients, their families and their physicians with information, guidance and assistance in navigating the complex process of healthcare.  By helping direct patients to the most effective and efficient healthcare resource, and getting lab results and other information to the right place at the right time, the Care Coordinators provide a more satisfying healthcare experience while eliminating unnecessary cost.

The result:  employers using Coordinated Health/Care over the past 5 years have held their annual cost increase to 4.3%, less than one-half the national average.  They have simultaneously provided increased benefits and customer service to their employees.
