Next MEDecision Webinar Tackles Innovation to Optimize Care Coordination
“Beyond the EHR” Airs January 31 on EHROutlook.com
January 26, 2012 10:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time
WAYNE, PA - JANUARY 26, 2012 - Experts from MEDecision, the
leading provider of collaborative health management solutions, will
discuss how innovative care coordination solutions designed
for accountable care organizations work in conjunction with
electronic health record (EHR) to improve healthcare and lower
costs, in a webinar premiering in January 31,
2012.
The EHROutlook.com webinar, "Beyond the EHR:
Optimizing Care Coordination" will feature MEDecision Vice
President of ACO solutions, Matt Adamson and MEDecision Principal
Clinical Consultant Connie Phillips-Jones, RN, MSN, CCM, CPHQ as
they identify the tools and resources for care delivery
organizations that want a more effective way to coordinate care and
manage diverse populations.
With the recent introduction of the Medicare Shared Savings
Program and Advance Payment model, healthcare providers' financial
incentives will be based on quality measures such as patient
outcomes and care coordination. While there is growing recognition
of the role of EHR systems to support care coordination in medical
practices, healthcare professionals must also consider additional
technology to drive efficient and effective proactive care
coordination so they may take advantage of the incentives from
programs like patient-centered medical home and accountable care
organizations.
The webinar will provide perspectives and information on:
- Why EHR adoption is a necessary component of physician
practices
- How enhancements to the EHR allow for proactive care
coordination of patient populations around quality and
outcomes
- How technology is enabling health information exchange and
analytics capabilities
- Which tools can help determine gaps in care related to health
and wellness, chronic conditions and medication conflicts
- Which collaborative care management resources are necessary to
support the information technology needs of physician
practices
