However, gathering and applying the right intervention is a labor-intensive process. In addition, practices that are trying to transform themselves also have to cope with cultural barriers to change, inadequate infrastructure and a lack of or limited reimbursement for non-visit and non-physician care.
A growing number of practices are taking a proactive approach to care management, in part because they expect coordinated care to be a linchpin of the impending changes in the care delivery system. To efficiently coordinate care and manage the health of their patient population, providers need to identify deficiencies and take the appropriate action.
Technology Improves Care Coordination
Care teams need the ability to proactively identify care opportunities and take action as indicated by health information and risk factors.
Technology tools are being used to improve communications across care settings, especially during transitions of care. These range from traditional point-to-point interfaces to physician and patient web portals to secure electronic messaging. Even computer faxing has its place as the industry moves from paper to electronic documentation of care. The automated stratification of patients into different risk categories is also important to groups seeking to do population health management.
The effective coordination of a patient’s health care services is a key component of high-quality, efficient care. It provides value to patients, professionals and the health care system by improving the quality, appropriateness, timeliness and efficiency of decision-making and care activities, thereby affecting the experience, quality and cost of health care.
