Key Points: 
  • The test helps healthcare providers better determine the presence of amyloid plaques in the brain, a hallmark sign of Alzheimer’s disease.
  • The new research, “ Use of a Blood Biomarker Test Improves Economic Utility in the Evaluation of Older Patients Presenting with Cognitive Impairment ,” used a budget impact model in a hypothetical 1 million-member health plan to assess the economic utility of the PrecivityAD blood test.
  • Overall, the PrecivityAD blood test was associated with a cost savings of $643 per Alzheimer’s disease case (9% cost savings) identified.
  • We believe the use of the PrecivityAD blood test in the clinical care pathway may prevent unnecessary testing, provide cost savings and reduce the burden on both patients and health plans.”

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn., March 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In recent years, the healthcare industry has embraced the concepts of the triple and quadruple Aim, focusing on improving patient outcomes, enhancing patient experience, reducing costs, and promoting physician satisfaction.

Moreover, we propose the integration of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) to enhance employee engagement via equity ownership. By involving employees as active participants in the pursuit of better outcomes and offering them a stake in the organization, the Quintus Aim with an ESOP aspires to revolutionize healthcare delivery, fostering a culture of engagement, innovation, and excellence.
