Reduce friction between payers and providers
Improve healthcare by measuring and reporting on successful payer/provider collaborations.
K2 Collaborative
Payer Provider Initiative
Improve healthcare by measuring and reporting on successful payer/provider collaborations.
Our goal is to reduce friction and waste by facilitating trust, collaboration, and alignment between payers, providers, and HIT vendors.
What Is the K2 Collaborative (formerly Payer/Provider Initiative)?
An estimated $250 billion is wasted annually in avoidable healthcare administrative costs. At the heart of KLAS’ K2 Collaborative is a desire for payer and provider success that reduces this waste and leads to an improved patient experience.
Though many payer and provider organizations are resigned to a lengthy process of managing authorizations, denials, and claims adjudication, both dream of a world where value-based care puts payers and providers on the same page. The collaborative can help turn this dream into a reality.
How do we plan to accomplish this?
The collaborative is threefold:
Payer & Provider
Measurement
Provider organizations are invited to anonymously measure each of the top commercial payers their organization uses.
Points of light
Reports & Awards
The annual Points of Light report and awards highlight successful efforts and partnerships between payers, provider organizations, and vendors.
Annual K2 Collaborative
Summit
KLAS will hold an annual payer/provider summit to gather an exclusive group of healthcare leaders to find proven solutions that reduce friction.
Payer & Provider MEASUREMENT
Creating Visibility and Transparency
Provider organizations are invited to anonymously complete measurements for each of the top commercial payers their organization uses. KLAS will collect, aggregate, and analyze the data and then report the results back to the industry. The goal of these measurements is to:
- Capture payer and provider ratings that will be turned into benchmarks and insights
- Present metrics, ratings, benchmarks, and insights online, down to the regional level (where available)
Metrics Collected
