FAIR Health's Price-Informed Tools Gain Traction in Safety-Net Clinics
Event summary
- FAIR Health's price-informed shared decision-making tools are being used at three NYC clinical sites under the FH SHARE NYC initiative.
- Clinicians report the tools help engage vulnerable older adults and their caregivers in healthcare discussions.
- The Alzheimer's disease and end-of-life decision-making tools are particularly valuable for families.
- Printed versions of the tools are preferred by many patients due to lack of digital access prerequisites.
- FAIR Health plans national expansion of these tools under a grant from The John A. Hartford Foundation.
The big picture
FAIR Health's tools address a critical gap in healthcare decision-making for vulnerable older adults, particularly those with low health literacy or limited digital access. The success of these tools in safety-net clinics could influence how similar organizations approach cost transparency and shared decision-making. With over four billion claim records annually, FAIR Health is leveraging its data assets to improve healthcare affordability and quality.
