Brief Summary:
Using their existing technology, Oscar is employing a randomized controlled trial among their physicians to improve their engagement and relationships with patients. The goal will be to test and refine patient pings as a provider engagement tool, with an eye toward using it within the broader approach to high-risk patients as well. The Penn team is helping to design the intervention, which includes helping with determining what the three arms will be and randomizing physicians and practice sites. They will implement a three-arm trial with the first arm being usual care (no pings), the second arm being the intervention of information, and the third arm being the intervention of information and financial incentives. In the two intervention groups, providers will be sent patient pings after a patient experiences a trigger event. This trigger event could be an emergency room visit, admission to a hospital, or a hospital discharge event. The patient ping will be sent to the patients doctors including primary care physicians and specialists. If the patient does not have a doctor, a ping will not be sent. In the third arm, physicians will be incentivized to see patients immediately via phone call or in office visit. Physicians will receive an incentive for calling the member within 48 hours of trigger event and will receive a larger financial incentive for seeing the patient for an office visit within 7 days of trigger event. This bonus payment will be paid to physicians uncoupled from usual reimbursement as a separate bonus check to increase salience. No pings will be sent to the physicians for the patients randomized to arm 1: usual care.
