Resource Allocation Matrix

A company’s activity related to managing medical costs can be plotted on two axis – Urgency and Importance. To reverse the negative trends associated with the healthcare crisis, companies must analyze how much time, energy and resources are spent in each quadrant.


Quadrant I
Acute Illness
Injuries
Emergencies
Complications
Quadrant II
Prevention & Wellness
Health Risk Assessments and Screenings
Early Intervention
Standardized Management of Chronic Illness
Quadrant III
Insurance policies
Provider Discount Negotiations
Claims Processing
Disease Management Programs
Quadrant IV
Creating Reports that aren’t used
Creating policies that aren’t followed
Busy work
Time wasters
Are resources dominated by high cost activities?
How much time is spent on system imposed activities that yield few results in improving employee health and productivity?
Are resources allocated to activities and programs that prevent high cost events that are a drain on productivity?
Are solutions so elusive managers escape into time wasting?

What We Do
Healthcare Direct believes that companies must devote more resources to Quadrant II (at the expense of Quadrants III and IV) in order to effectively improve employee health and productivity.

Quadrant II activities are the cornerstone of Healthcare Direct’s health care delivery
