4Healing
is an information services company founded in 2002 providing unbiased
outcomes-based performance reporting on healthcare practitioners.
4Healing
is the only firm that has developed and proven a corporate benefit plan with
processes that utilize real, transparent quality metrics and science
standards to significantly lower employer health costs and improve employee
health and productivity.
Like
Dun & Bradstreet® in the financial
sector and Consumer Reports® in the
consumer products sector, the Company uses proven proprietary processes to
capture and report unbiased outcomes data on individual healthcare
practitioners’ success working with specific conditions. To date,
4Healing
is the only company in this space. 4Healing
is not aligned with any organization, special interest,
or modality of treatment. The Company structures and provides services with
this information to bring significant value to its clients. Currently, the
Company uses the information to improve results for corporate health benefit
plans and create or enhance Health and Productivity (HPM) programs for
self-insured companies. 4Healing
is specifically designed to achieve successful health
outcomes for its clients’ employees and significantly reduce employer
healthcare costs. 4Healing
is the only source available for a patient or
practitioner to find an optimal practitioner for the patient’s specific
problem based on the practitioner’s demonstrated success treating that
problem from unbiased outcomes-based reporting. Results in Denver have
proven to substantially reduce healthcare costs, reduce absenteeism, and
improve outcomes for 4Healing
members. The Company’s business combines proprietary tools, processes and
comprehensive service to optimize the employee’s access to appropriate
healthcare: the latest science, deep relevant information on practitioners,
feedback from each member and practitioner, and HIPAA compliant reporting.
The predominant methods people use to select a practitioner are a) the
doctor is part of my insurance plan and b) the doctor has a "good
reputation" or was recommended by my primary care doctor; and c) are they
close to my house of office;.
The data clearly showed that doctor "reputations" match
outcomes only 16% of the time. Or, looking at it the other way, 84% of the
time there is at least one other practitioner in your area who has
demonstrated superior outcomes that may not be known by anyone except
4Healing.
Moreover, the practitioner with the best outcomes may not even be eligible
for the health insurance you have.
One of the most significant problems in healthcare today
is that doctors do not know their own outcomes, much less the the outcomes
of specialists to whom they refer you.

There is no other source available
anywhere that tracks practitioner success by practitioner, by condition.
Tracking what works in
healthcare has just not happened.

"In all fairness, I don’t think most
doctors and hospitals even have a clue as to what their results are. It’s
not been a normal part of American medicine to provide that type of
performance measurement or profiling of providers." – Dr. Sam Ho, Chief
Medical Officer, PacifiCare (NY Times television 2006) see
Critical Need
The 4Healing
Benefit Plan offers employees
the opportunity to find the right healthcare practitioner and therapies
based on the practitioner’s success treating the employee’s specific
problem. Payers save because they avoid the 50%-80 of healthcare costs
normally paid by employers that are unnecessary and/or inappropriate.

Employees covered by the 4Healing
Benefit Plan simply call
4Healingsm
when they have a health or wellness concern. They speak with one of our
highly-trained counselors (most of whom are nurses), who help them select a
practitioner who has demonstrated success for their specific problem,
based on our unique Outcomes-Based reporting. The counselor not only helps
provide the employees with the critical information only available through
4Healing,
but will set up the appointment, collect feedback, etc. The counselor helps
the employee access the practitioner who has had success with the employees
problem with the most effective, least invasive scientifically validated
therapy.
4Healing
has one commitment: Successful Health Outcomes for the Patient.
We
focus on the science of healthcare instead of the business of healthcare.
We are not aligned with any group, specialty, modality or special
interest. 4Healing
assembles the largest network of practitioners in each area from multiple
specialties and modalities. All have agreed to subject their practices to
the rigorous scrutiny of Evidence-Based / Outcomes-Based Medicine.
More What about your doctor?
Without 4Healing,
the employee must rely upon word-of-mouth or a doctor's referral (Practitioners
do not know their own outcomes, much less the outcomes the other doctors
they refer you to). Many employees must select some practitioner
from an insurance list which cannot tell them if that practitioner ever
treated this condition, and hope for the best. The employee then starts
the costly treatment cycle of the business of medicine rather
than the science of medicine. The employer pays a much higher
cost with less desirable results.

Outsourcing the Healthcare “Henhouse” to the “Foxes”

See How 4Healingsm
can help right now.
Read More Companies outsource
perhaps their largest, most uncontrollable expense (employee healthcare) to
insurance carriers acting as Third Party Administrators (TPA). These
companies impose outdated restrictions that ignore the science of
medicine. These practices and restrictions actually impede
patient health progress and significantly drive up costs.

Consumers: Find the
Optimal Practitioner for Your Specific Problem

has brought real, meaningful outcomes reporting to medicine. After all,
when you want help, you want to find the people who have proven that they
have had success with your problem.
Suppose your problem is back pain. You
could undergo a technically brilliant back surgery, but still (usually)
still have the back pain. 4Healing
is the only source that lets you find a practitioner from many different
specialties and modalities who you know has been successful with your
problem based on outcomes data from patients with the same problem.
