Enhancing Care Coordination and Patient Outcomes Through Advanced Data Integration
Atlantic Health is leveraging advanced technology to optimize patient outcomes, particularly as it transitions into value-based risk arrangements. With 35 in-network skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), approximately 76,000 patients attributed to Medicare Shared Savings Programs, and nearly 520,000 patients under its three accountable care organizations, effective post-discharge care is essential for success.
To support this, Atlantic Health implemented CarePort Insight, a real-time post-acute performance data system. Key outcomes include:
– Increased Placements: Enhanced placements to in-network providers.
– Improved SNF Length of Stay: Optimized patient stays in SNFs.
Building on this success, Atlantic Health adopted WellSky CarePort Connect, which empowers providers with real-time data and visibility across the care continuum. Key functionalities include:
– Seamless Document Sharing: Facilitates electronic document sharing and communication between acute and post-acute settings.
– EHR Integration: Bridges gaps between different electronic health record (EHR) systems, providing insights beyond Atlantic Health’s own EHR.
This comprehensive view enhances care coordination by:
– Centralized Access: Streamlines access to discharge paperwork.
– Intelligent Interventions: Enables timely patient interventions and supports Transitional Care Management follow-ups post-discharge.
Furthermore, CarePort Connect strengthens post-acute relationships by:
– Trend Analysis: Analyzes trends across care settings.
– Root Cause Analysis: Identifies areas for improvement, such as reducing readmissions.
– Real-Time Alerts: Facilitates patient management through real-time data and care transition alerts.
Through these strategic integrations, Atlantic Health is positioned to enhance collaboration, improve operational efficiencies, and ultimately achieve better patient outcomes.
“The addition of CarePort Connect allows Atlantic Health System to gain deeper insight into key patient interactions and improve performance in our value-based contracts,” said Dr. Mark Calderon, medical director of integrated care at Atlantic Health System.
