It's this notion that we're all on the same team, and I feel like I can turn to anyone, and I know that we're all pulling in the same direction. And we may not agree about some things, and that's okay. We move at a faster pace just because we have belief in each other. So working with a group of people who are passionate, who are really diligent and hard-working—it's just fun.” —Pedro Jofre Lora, VP of Data Science at Garner Health If working on hard problems with passionate people sounds fun to you, check out our open roles… • Data Science Manager • Controller • Senior Platform Engineer • Client Services Specialist • Regional Sales Director See all open roles here: https://lnkd.in/eRKkWEX7

Understanding the rapidly changing landscape of GLP-1 medications is key for employers who are looking to control rising Rx costs. When it comes to GLP-1s, our data shows that the bottom 25% of doctors have a waste rate 6x higher than the top 25%. Waste rate refers to the percentage of prescriptions given to patients without prior disease history, or discontinued within six months. These low value prescriptions have a big impact on GLP-1 outcomes and ultimately cost. Tomorrow we'll be discussing GLP-1s, their significant impact on employer health plans, and strategies to address these challenges in our webcast. Join our CEO, Nick Reber, and Chief Research and Data Science Officer, Phil Salinger, for the discussion. Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/gZauTU4t

Join us in one week for a live discussion with Garner CEO Nick Reber and Chief Data Officer Phil Salinger as they share findings from a new analysis on how GLP-1s are impacting the healthcare economy.

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic are dominating the market and hitting employers with costs that can exceed $10,000 per person annually. Our analysis of over 80 billion medical records representing more than 320 million unique patients uncovers a growing trend: "wasteful" prescriptions from the bottom-ranking quartile of doctors. Key findings show: – Nearly 2% of the U.S. population uses GLP-1 drugs, and this figure could reach 10% by 2030. – High costs are often due to low-value prescriptions given to patients without chronic diseases or those who discontinue use within six months. – Effective management involves guiding employees to high-performing providers who prescribe GLP-1 drugs judiciously. To tackle this, our data scientists have integrated new metrics on effective GLP-1 prescribing practices into Garner’s data methodology. Utilizing the largest claims database available, Garner drives members to top-performing doctors with the lowest GLP-1 waste rate in their network, enhancing health outcomes while creating cost-reduction measures for employer medical trend.
