KNG Health has worked with clients representing different types of healthcare facilities on episode definitions, risk adjustment methods, and claims analysis to facilitate implementation of bundled payment models and to assess their potential impact.

The study involved analysis using Medicare claims data and the development of a series of potential policy recommendations.
