Conflict of Interest
Utilization Management programs aim to provide patients with diagnostic tests that are appropriate to the patient, high-quality, and cost-effective.

Utilization Management End Outcomes • Dollars spent/saved
-‐ Pre-‐post design-‐ Costs avoided1,2
• Errors/Errors avoided – Duplicate testing – Inappropriate testing3
• Patient outcomes-‐ Diagnostic yield 4
-‐ Actionable results

Challenges to Tracking Cases and Metrics:Market Dynamics
Net New Tests to the Market 2014-2015
On average, 8-10 new tests enter the market every day.

Finding and Collecting UM Data
• Where is the data? – EMR – LIMS (pending logs) – Billing – Reference Lab Reports– Other?
• What data to collect?

Strategies To Continually Track Cases and Data
• Consider feasibility of questions and impact of potential outcomes
• Mechanisms to track – balancing workflow and documentation – Spreadsheets – Access databases – Integrating data collection into the platform for ordering and tracking results (GeneConnectTM)
• Establish reporting periods and intended audience

Controlling Costs with Increasing Volume
3 month 9 month6 month
Test Volume
Per Test Cost
- 50% increase in volume
- 30% decrease in per test cost
- No change in overall costs

Looking Ahead
• Who will do all of this work?
• Won’t utilization management work itself out of a job?
• What happens when everyone just gets their whole genome sequenced?
Utilization management may be a mechanism to scale the expertise of those trained in genetics.
Testing is changing so rapidly, utilization management must change and adapt with it.
See above.
