MIPS Round

Starting Date:

Feb 2016

MIPS Project Challenge:
The second MIPS project sought to explore the effectiveness of Vheda Health’s mobile health software among Medicaid populations in increasing medical outcomes, while decreasing hospitalizations, total cost of care, and health disparities among the most vulnerable American citizens.

Project Scope:
For these MIPS projects, researchers planned to: develop models of Vheda’s data to drive the future design of automated care planning protocols, with some product integration within the project period; explore evidence as to the effects of VH technology and processes on adults diabetes self-care and the financial impact of the VH solution; assess findings on what patient characteristics moderate the effectiveness of VH technology, and recommendations on how to use those findings to increase the product’s effectiveness.

The MIPS partnership delivers the right mix of research validation and commercialization. We are humbled to partner with our alma mater, the University of Maryland, College Park. Go Terps!
