In an era of increasing outcomes transparency, providers must define and demonstrate improved clinical and economic outcomes. PotentiaMetrics enhances medical evidence with proprietary AI platforms supported by real-world clinical and economic outcomes data.
PotentiaMetrics outcomes and insights products deliver information not available from other sources that enhance the current evidence base, by frequently revealing new information, and contradicting previous findings. As a result, our customers have actionable insights that improve patient outcomes, accelerate contribution margins, and decrease healthcare spending.
Payers, providers, employers and medical-technology companies use our platforms to compare effectiveness, adjust for risk, and track outcomes-based performance metrics.

Welcome to the Episode 3 of Civil Discourse hosted by Todd Furniss.
On Episode 3, Todd Furniss interviews John C. Goodman, renowned economist and President & CEO of The Goodman Institute for Public Policy Research.
In his 2012 book Priceless: Curing the Healthcare Crisis, Goodman asserts that empowering both patients and caregivers to control healthcare decisions produces greater patient satisfaction at substantially lower costs. The book emphasizes the importance that patients, payers, and providers each operate according to economic incentives that encourage them consider both the costs and benefits of care, innovate to improve outcomes and lower costs, and provide subsidies that do not arbitrarily benefit one group (like workers at companies that provide insurance) at the expense of other groups (like workers at companies that do not).
