Solventum™ Population-focused Preventables (PFPs) Classification System
Avoidable utilization is costly for health systems and payers alike and, more importantly, can negatively impact care outcomes. 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
Bundles three methodologies into one population-focused framework

| 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 |
| Solventum™ Potentially Preventable Services (PPSs) Classification System | Low-value or duplicative outpatient or professional services that may be overutilized or do not provide useful information for diagnosis or treatment | Avoidable low-value outpatient services |
