Going Beyond the EHR: Supporting Care Coordination
January 31, 2012 | 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. ET
Electronic health record (EHR) systems support physicians and other healthcare professionals in the delivery of care through effective care coordination services. Today there is growing recognition of the role of EHR systems to support individual and population-based care management in medical practices. Independent of practice size, EHR systems support physicians and care teams in multiple care management areas, including patient self-management, individual and population management, delivery system design, and clinical decision support system.
With incentives like the Medicare Shared Savings Program and the Advance Payment model recently introduced, it is an important time for physician practices to position themselves to be in the best position to qualify for incentives. The Medicare Shared Savings Program will provide financial incentives for physicians to coordinate care for patients as part of the ACO model.
Providers' shared savings will be based on quality measures such as patient outcomes and care coordination. Together, the Medicare Shared Savings Program and the Advance Payment model promote opportunities for those with the documentation to support efficient and effective care coordination of their patients to take advantage of the incentives from programs like the patient-centered medical home, account care organizations and commercial payers’ incentive programs.
The webinar will provide information on:
- Why EHR adoption is a necessary component of physician practices.
- Enhancements to the EHR that allow for proactive care coordination of patient populations around quality and outcomes.
- How health information exchanges and analytics capabilities are made possible through technology that can be part of the EHR.
- Tools to help determine gaps in care related to health and wellness, chronic conditions and medication conflicts.
- Provider-focused collaborative care management resources are necessary to support the information technology needs of evolving requirements of physician practices.
