Goldfinch Health Earns ‘Stamp of Approval’ from Validation Institute
Goldfinch Health has announced that it has once again successfully completed the rigorous verification process established by the Validation Institute. First validated in 2022, the company’s surgery and recovery navigation platform continues to demonstrate substantial return on investment for employers, labor unions, and others. According to the report issued, for employers the program delivers 9.08x ROI.
“This validation reinforces our evidence-based approach to transforming surgery and recovery,” said Brand Newland, PharmD, MBA, CEO of Goldfinch Health. “The latest validation shows we’re not just maintaining our performance – we’re improving it. Saving nearly 35 days in return-to-work time, on average—up 10% from 2022—demonstrates that our program continues to evolve and deliver even greater value for employers, labor unions, and most importantly, patients and their families.”
According to the Validation Institute’s Validated Program Report, patients supported by Goldfinch Health saved 34.9 days in return to work, on average, as compared to a gold standard industry benchmark. To employers, this means less expense for replacement employees, less expense for overtime hours, and less financial loss due to reduced productivity.
Validation Institute experts also examined the program’s impact on labor union Health and Welfare Funds. They found that helping labor union members to better navigate surgery and recovery produced dramatic results. Safer, faster recovery and return to work preserved $2.54 in Health and Welfare Funds for every $1 invested in the Goldfinch program.
“We hear very consistently from current and prospective clients, not to mention partners in the broker and consultant community, just how important ROI is to benefits decisions,” said John Greenwood, COO of Goldfinch Health. “Deliver it, measure it, validate it, and, oh by the way, make sure it actually matters. We’re confident our ongoing work with the Validation Institute will ensure we continue to hit these important marks for our clients today and into the future.”
Goldfinch Health surrounds patients with support, education, and advocacy as they prepare for and recover from major planned surgery—including orthopedic, women’s health, cancer, and other procedures. Expert nurse navigators, curated resources, and patient-friendly technology drive program results, including faster recovery, avoided healthcare costs, better pain management, and less unnecessary exposure to opioids.
