Solventum™ Population-focused Preventables (PFPs) Classification System
Avoidable utilization can negatively impact the patient experience and care outcomes while also being costly for health systems and payers alike. Fragmented data across care settings, claim types and timelines makes it difficult to track patient journeys, consistently define preventable events and determine where intervention could have changed outcomes.
The Solventum™ Population-focused Preventables (PFPs) Classification System identifies potentially preventable healthcare events across care settings to pinpoint drivers of avoidable utilization so organizations can take action to address them.
Product details

| Solventum™ Potentially Preventable Emergency Department Visits (PPVs) Classification System | ED visits for conditions that could otherwise be treated in a non-emergency setting | Inadequate access to care or resources |
