Electronic coordination tools facilitate continuity.
Integrated referrals and eConsults enable care coordination between hospitals, specialists, community clinics and primary care practices, while automated alerts and notifications ensure medical home physicians receive necessary medical data and proactively contact patients to schedule follow-up appointments.
Web-based for easy implementation rapid adoption.
As a web-based application, Connect harnesses the power of the internet to facilitate data communication in an easily accessible portal. Health Level-7 Admit Discharge Transfer (HL7 ADT) real-time data exchange enables secure 24/7 access to data with no new investment in hardware. Additionally, Connect can be implemented transparently and with minimal costs.
“Based on the outcomes of a successful pilot, we began rolling out the Connect platform to the high-volume hospitals in our network in August of 2015. Engaging twenty-one institutions in just over a year is a true testament to the value of this kind of data in improving outcomes for our hospital providers. We’re excited to be able to provide a meaningful solution that overcomes common connectivity barriers between systems.”
– John Baackes, L.A. Care CEO
Connect Outcomes:
Proven effective in connecting care across fragmented healthcare systems, Connect improves coordination and continuity of care for real-world results.
Medical Home Network (MHN) is a Chicago-based, not-for-profit collaborative with 21 hospitals, 200+ primary care clinics and facilities, and over 1,400 PCPs and specialists working together to fundamentally changed how care is delivered.
Utilizing Connect to facilitate virtual integration of this vast network, an MHN demonstration project has significantly improved the quality-of-care for 170,000 Medicaid beneficiaries, with remarkable cost savings:
- 18% reduction in ER utilization in year one
- 25% reduction in 30-day hospital readmissions
- 130% increase in timely post-discharge follow-ups:
“Having access to real time information and up-to-the-minute details pertaining to the patient’s health care utilization is invaluable.”
– Arthur Jones, MD, Chief Medical Officer, MHN
