Population Health

Population Health

Population health is the health outcome of a group of individuals, including the distribution of such outcomes within the group. Electronic Health Records such as Prime Suite by Greenway can help . Greenway Community is a dashboard that provides information from Prime Suite, the payers, or the HIE, and aggregates that data to show any gap in treatments no matter where the patient was seen last.

Hi, my name is Dr. Smith. Population health is about to change everything. Historically, we in healthcare have been very focused on the moment – and providing the best care to the patient who is in front of us at the moment. When a patient comes in, we want to provide that patient the best care possible, and we’ve done a really great job of that for many years.

 

Population health has pushed us to say it’s not just about the patient in front of you, but also about that patient who hasn’t been in the office in a while but you know is still your patient; you’re responsible for their care as well. So for that patient who hasn’t seen you in more than a year who needs to have his hemoglobin A1C checked – he’s considered uncontrolled. I ‘m not sure if he went to see a different physician or not; I’m accountable for that.

That young woman “Donna” who needs to have a pap and pelvic done who’s 36 years old and hasn’t been here in 2 years; I’m accountable for her. Donna is part of my panel. So I’m not just responsible for providing great care to whoever walks in the door, but also for the care that’s not getting done in my population. That’s become a game changer, because suddenly it’s not just about Adam or Donna when they come in to my office, but also about engaging those who haven’t been seen lately and getting them in, so that we can make sure they’re getting the care they need in order to prevent many of these chronic conditions down the road. With Microwize powered by Greenway Community, we can get the help we need.

75% of the healthcare spent in the US is on patients with chronic conditions: Heart Disease, Diabetes, Lung Disease, etc… A majority of these patients will end up in hospitals. However, if these patients can be treated proactively in the ambulatory setting, it will:

  1. Drive more revenue into my practice
  2. Allow us to provide better, more proactive care
  3. Lower the overall cost of healthcare for everyone

It’s a win-win; this is good for me as a physician and great for my patients. It doesn’t matter where the patient gets his or her treatment because Greenway Community is able to give me viability across my database, the payers’, or the Health Information Exchange (HIE). I don’t need to be owned by a hospital or be part of a large group to be in the know.

Free CommonWell services For PrimeSuite clients:

The CommonWell Health Alliance is a national clinical data network that represents a major share of the electronic health record (EHR) vendor market, which is committed to making clinical information available to providers, regardless of the point of care, at a reasonable cost. Vendors such as Greenway Heatlh, Cerner, athenahealth, Evident and McKesson participate in the data network.

As a Greenway Health customer, you have access to CommonWell services for free. This enables you to exchange summaries of care with any other practice or hospital that also uses CommonWell services. This helps you put your patients’ records in the right hands, and unlike most health information exchanges, this network is national. So, for example, if your patient in New York has enrolled in CommonWell services and goes to a participating hospital in California, you’ll be able to get his or her record from that visit at no cost.

Want to opt in today? Just go to the Customer Community and click on the e-commerce tab. Add CommonWell to your cart and check out. You’ll notice it’s a $0 charge. Your interface will then be seamlessly implemented within a month.
