Arbol governance brings together each patient’s health record, labs, vaccinations and insurer data, places them in their cohorts, anticipates their risk and alerts the physician when something changes. For whoever answers for the health of a population.
A real figure: 3,500+ patients prioritized at a single client.
This week’s priorities
Arbol reads the health record, the labs and the insurer’s data, and places every patient in their cohorts: cardiovascular risk, diabetes, kidney disease, pregnancy, and any your team defines.
Every cohort has its own criteria and its own indicators.
Cardiovascular risk · criteria
Indicators · example
And every patient changes cohort when their history changes. With a reactive HIV result, the nurse and the physician are alerted that same day, and the patient starts on their new care pathway.
On its own, none of them looks urgent. Together they say Jorge should be first on the list this week.
Type 2 diabetes since 2016. HbA1c of 8.9%.
Creatinine of 1.6 mg/dL. In March it was 1.2.
67 years old. Lives alone.
“The wound on my foot still hasn’t healed.”
Priority 1Kidney and diabetic foot risk
Under a population contract, you receive the same amount every month. Without governance, it goes to emergency visits and hospital stays that could have been prevented.
With governance, you invest a little more in timely checkups and tests, and complications come down. The math works.
Illustrative example. Your figures come from your contract’s technical note.
What you receive each month for your population
Spent 112%: a 12% deficitSpent 94%: a 6% margin
Your institution’s assistant (Mónica, in this example; you choose the name) calls and messages every patient in the cohort about what they’re missing, and what they answer goes back to their record. Your team asks Arbi, the internal agent, for the list: “Who in the cardiovascular cohort hasn’t had a lipid panel this year?”

Activity by activity, Arbol compares what’s been done with what was agreed, reaches the patients still missing and keeps the record that backs every service.

Every service is logged in the health record with its time and outcome: material for quality reviews and audits.
A real figure: 3,250+ services caught before the close, at a single client.
Governance looks ahead: it brings together what the lab says, what the physician wrote and what the patient told us.
Arbol compares every result with the one before and alerts the physician when kidney function gets worse.
What the physician ordered and never happened shows up in time, with the call to book it.
Diabetes, living alone and a missed checkup: together they raise the priority before a complication arrives, such as an amputation.
When the lab results and the physician’s notes match the criteria for an orphan disease, Arbol flags it for the specialist to review.
This is Ámbar’s Clinical Council: it recommends to nursing and medicine what to review, which cohort each patient belongs in, what to rule out and which risk factor is still missing from the record, such as smoking. It doesn’t diagnose or change treatment: diagnosis and care decisions always belong to the physician.
In both models, the provider receives the same amount whether its population gets sick or not. That’s why what makes the contract pay off is prevention and timely follow-up.
A fixed amount per person, every month.
The insurer pays the provider a fixed amount for each assigned person, every month, to cover a set of services. If the population gets sick less, the contract pays off; if it gets sick more, the provider absorbs the difference.
A global amount, agreed in advance.
A global amount is agreed in advance to care for a population, or a group of patients with one condition, over a set period. It is calculated with a technical note (how many services are expected and what each one costs) and carries targets and outcome indicators.
Health systems across the region are financed in much the same way: someone answers for the health of a population on a defined budget.
With population contracts, PGP, capitation or packages.
That need to know who in their population is at risk.
That want to see costs coming before they arrive.
Cardiovascular, kidney, maternal and perinatal, and high-cost.
The rules come from your contract, from clinical practice guidelines and from your institution’s protocols, and your clinical team approves them. Arbol applies them every day, across your whole population, and keeps a record of who it alerted, who it called and what each patient answered.
A 30-minute demo: your population, your contracts and the cohort worth starting with. Governance is quoted once we know your operation.
