and therefore your star ratings, across the
board!
The Post-Acute Industry is changing faster than ever before.

Which team members should use RiskPoint?
Marketing/Sales Team
The home healthcare market is increasingly more competitive,
and it can be very hard to differentiate your services and grow
your agency through increased referrals. With the Kinnser
RiskPoint Marketing Report, your sales team is armed with easy
to use, highly targeted data insights that can show how well
your agency does with a specific referrer, physician, insurance,
or diagnosis group.
Clinical/Case Manager
Your “Case” or “Clinical” Managers, who monitor the patients
of multiple field clinicians, can effectively utilize the RiskPoint
dashboard to keep an eye on all of the patients s/he is
responsible for. RiskPoint analyzes all of the information
entered in the field and makes it easy to visualize which
patients are in most need of immediate action or changes in
their plan of care.
The RiskPoint algorithm is powered by the biggest data set in Home Health.

Clinical Dashboard
RiskPoint provides a platform for your clinical management team to effectively and efficiently manage your
population and improve your clinical outcomes. There are three steps to this process:
#1 Awareness -“RiskPoint gives our case managers better visibility into what is going on in the field.”
Your team can begin every single day easily knowing which patients are most at-risk. This awareness allows
your team to focus their efforts on those patients who are at high or increasing risk.
#2 Insight -“RiskPoint allows us to pinpoint the most important issues at hand.”
Once you’ve identified those risky patients, you can look into their chart to understand more basic information
about the patient, like why they are at risk and how that risk and other metrics have changed over time.
#3 Action -“RiskPoint has increased the communication between our field staff and our office staff.”
Now that your clinical management team has all of this information at their hands, they can decide if
additional action is needed, then send a kmail message or add a note on the Episode Comment Box.
This informed action allows your team to make a real difference in the outcomes of your patients.
How can RiskPoint enable clinical improvement?
The key to clinical improvement is
Regular Engagement.
The more your team uses RiskPoint,
the better your results will be.
Segment your patients by daily risk level.
-Analyze agency #’s by risk level-Filter by Case Manager/Branch-See patients at increased risk
-Identify new SOC/ROC patients

Example RiskPoint kmail templatesIncreased Risk Alert
PLEASE send me your response and any action taken.
Please review your patient’s condition and/or chart (recent VS, MV, visit freq, etc). The hospitalization risk report shows they’re at an increased risk today. Please document any nursing care needed and provided as a result of your review (such as phone call to patient, prn visit, contact to doctor, prn med recommended, etc). This notification is just to help identify if a patient is truly at risk and hopefully take any needed action to prevent them from going to the hospital.
One of our main goals is to keep patients out of the hospital. Your help is appreciated greatly. Thank you.

Marketing Report
In the value-driven care model of the future, hospitals and other healthcare providers will increasingly be held
financially accountable for their clinical outcomes. So, it is essential you prove you can be a great partner for
them in ensuring their patients don’t end up unnecessarily coming back to their facility. Kinnser RiskPoint can
help you prove this to your current and prospective referrers in three ways:
#1 Make data your differentiation
As a RiskPoint customer, your organization can differentiate itself to referrers and payers based on your
competitive advantages in using predictive technology to take care of patients better than anyone else.
#2 Build and grow relationships
With the RiskPoint Marketing Report, you can see and promote how you’ve done with the patients of existing
referral sources, whether those sources are hospitals (external referrers) or physicians.
#3 Target your marketing efforts
Your sales team can filter your clinical results by diagnosis groups to see which areas emphasize the strengths
of your agency. They can then use this data to specifically target and market to doctors and hospitals.
RiskPoint gives you the power to use data to define your agency as clinically progressive and effective.
