Our Approach

HPR’s analytic resources bring clarity, continuity and cohesion to population health data management and analysis by quantifying the life and social circumstances of individuals and defined populations. Population assessments at HPR begin with individual patients, health plan members, employees and consumers. Individual metrics are aggregated to create households, Context Groups, Context Segments, Engagement Segments, sub-populations of interest and ultimately, defined populations.

These capabilities allow HPR Clients to implement more informed assessments and effective interventions. Patient and consumer engagement initiatives are able to address every member of the care continuum—from healthcare providers and insurers to patients, patient families and patient support networks.
