EHR data can be used to enhance #clientcare, optimize workflows, and achieve better #healthoutcomes. That data can also be used for quality improvement initiatives, like identifying gaps in care or streamlining processes. Let's explore how you can harness your #EHR data to improve the quality of care your organization delivers. https://bit.ly/3wbDayr

Key Strategic Insights = A Successful OP CDI Program The challenge of value-based care starts with a collaborative approach, when launching an Outpatient Clinical Documentation Integrity (OP CDI) program. Here are some key strategic insights to success: 1. Engage with Population Health Understand Pain Points: Begin by understanding the specific challenges faced. This fosters collaboration. Tailored Questions: Use customized questions to facilitate productive discussions and ensure alignment with needs. 2. Effective Software Implementation Manage Patient (Pt.) Volumes: Implement software solutions to efficiently handle pt. volumes. OP CDI Calculator: Utilize a calculator to determine Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) needs. Data Analytics and Reporting: Emphasize the importance of continuous improvement via data analytics. 3. Workflow Creation Establish Robust Workflows: Create strong workflows before integrating reviewers. 4. Collaboration & Communication Promote Strong Collaboration: Encourage robust communication between key stakeholders. Leverage Software: Use technology to reduce physician burnout & streamline communication. 5. Patient-Centered Approach Address social determinants of health (SDOH) & ensure accurate documentation of conditions and care plans. Patient Outcomes: Keep patient care at the center of all doc. & workflow processes. 6. Regulatory Compliance Adhere to Guidelines: Follow regulatory requirements such as CMS guidelines on Hierarchical Condition Categories (HCC) coding to avoid penalties and enhance credibility. 7. Measurable Outcomes Set Clear Goals: Aim for measurable outcomes like improved HCC recapture rates, enhanced RAF scores, better HEDIS measures, and addressing SDOH needs. 8. Stakeholder Engagement Involve All Stakeholders: Ensure that executives, clinicians, and other relevant parties are involved in planning and implementation process. Success Stories Recently, I helped several CDI directors validate their cases for OP CDI programs within Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). By engaging with population health leadership, we identified key issues such as RAF gaps and HEDIS measures, and tailored processes to address them. For instance, a CDI director I guided successfully identified HCC and HEDIS recapture as their biggest pain points. With strategic solutions in place, they are now ready to implement the project for the 2025 budget yr., aiming to improve their HCC recapture rate by 20%, leveraging data analytics for outcomes and improvement needs. Benefits of Implementing These Strategies Align Risk Stratification: Properly align risk stratification with chronic conditions and healthcare needs. Quality Measures: Improve quality measures and address SDOH. Collaborative Team: Ensure success with a collaborative team supported by technology. Overall, these strategic actions will enhance patient care and operational efficiency. #Healthcare #Leadership #CDI #PatientCare #ValueBasedCare #HealthcareInnovation

uPerform is helping health systems like M Health Fairview Fairview Health Services drive EHR satisfaction and improve user efficiency by delivering role-based learning opportunities when and where it is needed most – in the workflow. After the adoption of uPerform, Fairview continues to benefit from other embedded learning opportunities. For example, after embedding Clinical Practice Model (CPM) training content into Epic, completion grew from just 20%to 60%-80% across the system. Learn more how M Health Fairview is taking full advantage of uPerform’s Epic workflow integrations in the recent KLAS Arch Collaborative case study, here: https://lnkd.in/eWBqUK42 #uPerform #MHealthFairview #CaseStudy #KLASResearch #AMIA #healthcare #healthtech #digitalhealth #elearning

70% of a healthcare organization’s data is trapped in legacy applications. As these applications do not support current data standards, such as FHIR, how can providers ensure easy access to this data for the needs of modern healthcare organizations? That’s the topic for this discussion between BridgeHead’s Jamie Clifton, Head of Innovation and Research, and Tim Kaschinske, Product Manager for HealthStore®. In this conversation, Jamie and Tim cover: ➡ The challenges of accessing data siloed in legacy applications  ➡ How to aggregate, manage, and harness data from disparate legacy systems found across the healthcare enterprise ➡ What are the limitations of accessing, displaying, and leveraging legacy data from static documents (such as PDFs)? How can FHIR help? ➡ How interoperability standards, such as FHIR, can help to create a 360-degree view of a patient ➡ Distinguishing the need to simply store data (for retention and compliance) and making data available as part of the longitudinal patient record ➡ What’s the relationship with between FHIR and HL7 in the new world? As always, we’re very keen to get your perspective. So, please share your thoughts on what we’ve discussed in this video in the comments ⬇⬇ #FHIR #legacydata #interoperability #healthcare

GRM’s EHR Consolidation solution is simple to implement and is a cost-effective way of delivering #physicians a comprehensive view of patient data from every #EHR within your network. Presented as an easy-to-read care summary, this data allows healthcare providers to see #patientdata from across your network – including medications prescribed, trend data related to important health measures and other information that could prove critical in delivering the most effective care. Regardless of methodology by which patient data is delivered, the EHR Consolidation solution consumes data from every EHR within your network and presents that data in an intuitive and easy-to-view overview. https://lnkd.in/eAMPkm26

Now that our HIT industry has spent nearly 40 years figuring out how to effectively pass data between sites, settings, and institutions of care (and while that journey isn't completely over, we're well on our way), we can finally turn and look farther down the road and consider what's next. In my view, advancing process consistency, agility, and change is that horizon. The BPM community is focused on that challenge, and having recently transitioned into HL7 as HL7 BPM, is squarely trying to take this on. With today's press release, HL7 is truly open-for-business in this space. Thanks to the OMG for nurturing this work along and for HL7 for having made our next home for this effort. So much to do! https://lnkd.in/dAF96g3n
