## The Science

**How does Nascate’s technology work?**

We combine client and publicly available data with our proprietary AI and segmentation techniques to rapidly deliver the specific solutions you need to advance your value-based care.

### Data and Metrics Assembled and Patterns Identified

Nascate’s technology processes the data to track patient and provider behaviors **over time**, so we get a clearer picture of what’s happening and why, painting a full picture of each person through key metrics.

#### Key Metrics

**Relationship Strength**

The strength of patient-to-provider **_and_** provider-to-provider relationships are a critical piece of the puzzle. A person’s connection with their provider has a huge impact on their healthcare journey—and when a network has a tight relationship, it yields both a better experience and better care for members.

**Care Density**

The number of shared patients between providers.

**Social-Complexity Index (SCI)**

The SCI score is unique in that it combines social, clinical, and treatment burden factors to predict which people are high-risk and most in need of additional support for preventative care—whether it’s helping with transportation, paying a home visit, working to strengthen their provider relationship, and more.

### Nascate Personas™

Nascate’s nine personas are built through patient demographics, diagnoses, and locations of services. They allow for large-scale understanding of clinical populations and, combined with other Nascate metrics, will inform specific patient needs and tailored intervention strategies.

#### Nine Persona Types

Active Treatment, Frail, Aging Complex, Aging Complex Behavioral, Complex, Complex Behavioral, Simple Chronic, Healthy User, Non-User.

### Healthcare Days™

We chart not only the **number** and **frequency of visits** a person has with providers over a long period of time, but also **which providers** and their **cadence of visits**, regardless of setting. This enables us to be able to understand and predict future utilization patterns so as to be able to make specific recommendations and better manage their future care.

### Referral Patterns

By charting the **frequency of provider referral patterns** over a long period of time, **to which providers they are referring their patients**, and more, we can understand relationships and develop strategies to improve access, curate networks, and improve performance and outcomes.
