Premerus Benefits:
Improving diagnostic quality while reducing costs
Health care spending in America now exceeds $2.1 Trillion annually. If improving clinical accuracy through diagnostic excellence can reduce that figure by just 5 percent, that amounts to a $100 Billion annual savings to our country’s healthcare costs.
The Goals of Premerus:
Improved Outcomes - Premerus is based upon the idea that specialization of diagnosticians can lead to a more accurate diagnosis the first time - that our specialty expertise can improve the effectiveness and accuracy of the patient diagnosis. Ordering physicians can provide appropriate treatments more quickly, which can lead to higher quality outcomes.
Reduced Costs - Premerus is also based on the principle that reaching an accurate diagnosis quickly reduces the high medical costs associated with misdiagnosis. It strives to mitigate downstream, more heroic and costly interventions when a condition is not caught early on. Premerus also seeks to avoid expenditures generated by repeated, unnecessary or additional testing resulting from an equivocal initial diagnosis.
Participant Satisfaction – Premerus seeks to lessen the anxiety that Patients and family members may experience as a result of false positives and equivocal results. Patients will have the implications of their condition given to them more quickly. They may also enjoy reduced physical and emotional stress related to unnecessary testing, biopsies and surgeries.
