If you work in the corporate world, you understand how bureaucracy hinders decision-making and cripples innovation. Fear of mistakes, the need for control, and aversion to risk all result in lost opportunities for cost-savings, productivity gains, and growth.
For this reason, the Cost of Delay (CoD) has become a critical business metric. According to a McKinsey Global Survey, only 20 percent of respondents said their organization excels at decision making. Most said it was ineffective.[i]
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) cases make up a small portion of total births, but when they hit, they hit hard. They can trigger catastrophic stop-loss claims, rack up life-changing bills, and upset the work-life routine. In the U.S., more than 75% of expectant mothers plan to go back to work after giving birth,[1] but once the baby comes home, 43% of them end up leaving their careers.[2]
As an organization offering self-insured options to employers, you likely manage some mix of provider networks, quality of care, utilization management, case management, health care analytics, plan administration and more. But what if one of your clients faced a premature or medically complex birth? Do they have access to specialized NICU Care Management?
