Ambulatory care delivered as part of a larger hospital system is changing fast. The government is providing incentives to all eligible providers, including those practicing as part of a hospital system, to use electronic prescribing and electronic health record systems and will soon penalize those that don’t. With the Health Care Reform Act changes slated for 2014, many more people will have access to insurance and looking for primary care providers; hospital ambulatory care practices will have many newly insured patients. Safety net providers, now caring for those without insurance, have a clear imperative - improve performance and demonstrate quality of care, or lose insured patients to organizations that do. New primary care models aimed at making health care more team-based are emerging; reimbursement tied to clinical outcomes demand a greater level of partnering with patients to ensure services are received and improved outcomes achieved.
i2iTracks is a proven tool to help you increase staff efficiency, capture additional incentive revenue and improve clinical outcomes. i2iTracks taps into your existing IT systems including Electronic Health Records, Practice Management and Lab systems to produce new insights and impact from your existing data. Easy to use reporting enables care managers to identify defined populations and sub populations of patients that are out of compliance with your guidelines of care. Then, with a single click, staff can take action such as patient outreach, recalls, referrals and more on the entire population or sub population of patients. Then, i2iTracks continues to monitor the status of those patient actions through your EHR and PM systems to ensure that follow up actions are completed. Any incomplete actions are routed directly and automatically to the appropriate team member(s) for further follow up. By closing the loop from identification to completion, i2iTracks ensures compliance with you guidelines of care thereby improving clinical measures and ultimately patient health.
i2iTracks also enables the hospital to increase ambulatory care revenue from payer sponsored Pay-for-Performance programs, Patient Centered Medical Home, and HITEC Act Meaningful Use. And with i2iTracks, the department will be ready to meet targets associated with clinical measures in Stage 2 of Meaningful Use, and meet the demands for participation in Accountable Care Organizations.
