Healthcare leaders seeking to reduce clinical variation are often unsure of the best way to accelerate change. Agathos shows physicians how their practice patterns compare to those of their peers. This piques their curiosity and sparks self-determined change that lowers the cost of care and improves patient outcomes. Agathos was founded on the vision of making valuable care obvious and normal. A first-of-its-kind transparency platform, created by physicians for physicians, Agathos offers superior feedback on practice variation and scales the “last mile” of physician engagement through action-level peer comparisons, timely case examples, and a gamified mobile experience that builds physician trust and behavior change with time and use. We partner with health systems—maximizing the benefits of prior technology investments—to empower physicians toward ever-higher quality, cost stewardship, and organizational alignment. What makes Agathos unique is our focus on meeting the data needs of the physician as the end user. While administrative, operational, and financial leadership has received a great deal of attention, solutions for physicians have been largely ignored. The Agathos approach for physician engagement with data is led by our team of data scientists and seven physician advisors. Our key differentiation is that physicians self-select into using Agathos with sustained engagement levels as high as 80%, without the need for administrative pressure or mandates.
