the Kailos group, Inc. - Products and Tools



			Products/Tools (Click on links for further information or samples) The Kailos group offers a variety of specialized tools to help healthcare organizations identify and focus on key issues affecting bottom-line performance. We offer these tools separately to healthcare organizations and consultants who serve them, and are available as needed to provide or arrange for consulting support in their use. The Disease Incidence Model™ predicts and benchmarks the incidence of disease in a population. Based on any age/sex distribution, its reports show: Which diseases are likely to be most prevalent and most costly for this group; What's unusual in expected disease incidence and costs for this group; and, Whether costs for each disease are being driven by high-cost individual cases or high incidence. This information is invaluable to IPAs, medical groups, health plans, employers, and other managing or planning for the health needs of a population. The Disease Incidence Model™ is a trademark of our strategic partner, Strategic Health Resources®.
