Platinum Designation for Facility-based Programs
Platinum is a facility measurement and recognition designation that acknowledges and rewards facilities for delivering both effective and efficient clinical care for all levels of facility-based care.
With its quadruple aim, Platinum allows for more specific comparisons of facility-based behavioral health programs. We will identify Platinum programs within the four condition categories: General Mental Health, SUD Alcohol, SUD Other, and Eating Disorders. And in addition, we monitor performance separately in three levels of care: Inpatient, Residential, and Partial Hospitalization.
| Top Performing programs will be designated as Platinum |
Facility program admissions will be evaluated in condition categories |
Facility program performance will be evaluated separately by level of care |
Platinum Designation will:
- Deliver clinically relevant and actionable metrics
- Distinguish between specfic dianostic categories, levels of care and lines of business
- Facilitate determinations that are accurate with "apples-to-apples" performance assessments
The purpose of Platinum Designation is to recognize and reward facilities accurately for delivering effective and efficient care
Platinum endeavors to evaluate facilities based upon trends in health care, as well as the feedback we garner from our network providers and facilities. Listening to what you have to say presents Optum with a fantastic opportunity to incorporate your thoughts and innovations into an evaluation program that is better for you, our members and the behavioral health community at large. Using unbiased data that is quantified and compared to both regional and similar program benchmarks, Platinum Designations excel at Identifying variations in practice patterns, which drive increased costs and poor clinical outcomes.
