Stemming from rigorous, academic-level research, Covera’s efforts are designed to quantify quality of care, measure its delivery across conditions and patient populations, and understand its impact on treatment, outcomes, and costs.

Delivering clinically validated tools proven to improve outcomes and reduce costs

Drawing from causal inference epidemiology and population health statistics to neural networks and computer vision, Covera Health is developing the science-based tools necessary to support physicians in their efforts to improve care quality and payers in their efforts to manage it efficiently.

Drivers of quality radiology

Quality Variation

Drivers of variation in radiology quality include technical parameters, interpretative discrepancies, and protocol differences.

Types of Errors

Technical Parameters

The technical quality of images varies widely from one device to another.

In the lower quality image, individual nerve roots and solid organ tissue are difficult to see

Interpretive Discrepancies

Errors in interpretation can send patients down the wrong treatment path.

Failure to describe the muscle atrophy accompanying this rotator cuff tear represents a missed chance to flag that the patient may be a poor candidate for surgery and unlikely to recover well.

Protocol Differences

Imaging center protocols may prioritize speed over coverage.

When MRI sections are widely spaced, interpretation is more difficult, and radiologists can miss important information.

Types of Errors
low resolution
high resolution
Atrophied
Normal
Widely spaced (~15 minutes)
Narrowly spaced (~40 minutes)

Demonstrated Results

A nationwide 12-month, large-scale prospective study demonstrated that patients that experienced improved radiological quality experienced significantly improved outcomes at a lower cost.
