In case you missed it: Our latest blog post, "A Lesson in Outcomes and Savings Measurement: A Case Study," is posted here: https://bit.ly/3UVuNAf What's it about? In the world of performance measurement, not all metrics are created equal. Validation Institute has identified recurring issues with vendor claims, and while we never call out companies publicly, their common mistakes offer valuable lessons. Here are three key takeaways: 1. Peer Review: Scrutinize the source Not all peer-reviewed studies are reliable. For example, open-access journals often lack rigorous standards, resulting in low credibility and impact factor scores. Always check the source before accepting claims. 2. Outcomes Measurement: Participation & Survivor Bias are real A vendor’s claim might highlight impressive outcomes, but dig deeper. Cherry-picked participants, high dropout rates, and regression to the mean often inflate results. For instance, only 24% of a program’s participants may remain after a year—hardly representative of the whole. 3. Savings Calculations: Beware the Hype Claims of cost savings often overlook critical biases. A program showing a $2,040 "savings per member" might simply reflect natural declines from those with high baseline costs—not real program impact. Key Lesson Question bold claims and dig into the methodology. Transparency matters. Vendors validated by the Validation Institute commit to rigorous, unbiased evaluation.
