Incentive-Driven Healthcare - The Trifecta™ Methodology
November, 2011
This is 2nd in a series of Research Reviews focused on "Science of Health Incentives™"
Trifecta™ is a program design methodology that aligns incentives with actions that generate immediate cost savings while impacting intermediate and long-term cost and outcome-related benefits. This approach, developed through the analysis of several years of client interactions and volumes of actual engagement data, provides the foundation for investment in incentive programs that will drive engagement without the uncertainty of longer-term risk reduction as the sole promise of return on investment.

The Art and Science of Health Incentives

Then those employers got their health plan bills.
