Mercer Beacon Value

Helping you attain high value care for your workforce.

Customized insights for you

Mercer Beacon Value has a goal to provide a view into a client’s population and their current opportunities to implement high value care strategies. At Mercer, we see the next big opportunity to truly maximize value within the healthcare program is high value care strategies to improve healthcare quality and keep costs affordable. When quality is improved, outcomes are better, and cost can be managed. Many of these strategies offer an improved member experience, which in turn may further improve member engagement and result in improved health status long-term. 

Employer challenges

  • Access to quality data

    With more tools available to evaluate quality data, employers need access to review the quality of care their employees are seeking and develop a purposeful strategy to steer toward high quality providers.
  • Managing costs

    The need to manage cost continues as employers look for strategies in which they can ensure they are spending their health plan dollars thoughtfully.
  • Improve member experience

    The member experience in healthcare is disjointed and expensive. Employees with a choice of high-quality providers and services that meet their unique needs are more productive and satisfied with their employment.
  • Informed strategy

    In addition to benefits modernization, employers are considering the unique needs of their workforce when developing a benefit strategy — with a focus on the future. 

How Mercer Beacon Value can help

Beacon Value distinguishes itself by providing tailored and actionable insights for our clients. It will deliver recommended high value care focus areas and an illustrative vendor landscape to narrow in on your next steps towards providing quality care to your employees while managing costs.

Identify where and how high value care opportunities fit into your overall plan through:

  • Employee demographics by market — summarizes average salary, age, sex, and number enrolled in medical benefit.
  • Provider quality and cost by market — visualize how quality, efficiency, and value compare with national averages.
  • Social determinants of health by zip code — social vulnerability index measures socioeconomic status, household characteristics, racial and ethic minority status, and housing type and transportation compared to the rest of the country.
  • Healthcare Market Dynamics — analyzes the influx of providers, who the market influencers are (Health Systems & Commercial Market Share), and market drivers.
