Description

Product Description:

Care Continuity's Specialty Referral Optimization solution utilizes machine learning to improve referral prioritization and workflow by incorporating the health system's quality/financial objectives and our proprietary patient engagement predictions into the prioritization algorithms. This allows health systems to optimize their network by priortizing specialist referrals according to their organizational goals and objectives.

With our ML-enabled solution, patients are prioritized based on:

  • Financial Improvement - driven by increased procedure capture and service line throughput. The right patients are prioritized to manage capacity and ensure that appointment slots are used for the highest value patients. 
  • Quality Improvement - driven by prioritizing appointment slots for patients at highest risk of a future acute event, helping reduce inappropriate ED utilization, IP readmissions, and performance in value-based care arrangements. 
  • Patient Engagement - driven by increasing patient referral completion rates. The right patients are prioritized based on their likelihood to accept navigational assistance and complete (attend) their appointments.

In addition to referral prioritzation, we leverage machine-learning to build the most effective, patient-centered workflow for navigators to follow when engaging with patients. Our software is supported by a team of trained patient navigators that do the navigating on your behalf or complement your inhouse team of navigators if needed.

Finally, we provide curated data dashboards provide key insights into the strength of your provider network giving actionable insights into appointment logjams, leakage/outmigration points, and opportunities for improvement.

About Care Continuity:

Founded in 2014, Care Continuity provides expert patient navigation solutions that are designed to bridge gaps in healthcare, providing seamless transitions between care settings, reducing network leakage, and promoting optimal health outcomes and patient satisfaction. Through a combination of advanced software, AI and a dedicated team of care concierges, we help guide patients through their care journey while maintaining the integrity of the health system network. This translates to greater patient satisfaction, better health outcomes, and increased margins for our clients.

Product Description:

Establish Networks
Our data ingestion platform can consume internal and external claims, quality data, and other relevant insights such as patient access or provider loyalty data that allow you to then rank specialists and facilities using a custom weighting method by service line. Our clients leverage this intelligence to build custom referral networks. Examples include a network for value-based care, an owned provider network, an affiliated network, or building networks for community-based resources.

Auto IdealMATCH
Leverage Network Intelligence data at the time of referral. Coordinators are prompted to select the most appropriate specialist for the patient based on insurance, quality outcomes, costs, location, and patient preferences. IdealMATCH is integrated into Epic so it doesn’t disrupt the existing workflow.

Auto Prior Authorizations & Scheduling
ReferralPoint is able to automate a large portion of the referral notification and prior authorization process then enables automated scheduling capabilities based on the workflow of the practice (by patient, by staff, in real-time).

Auto Closing the Loop
ReferralPoint supports closing the patient care loop between the primary care provider and specialist while tracking each step from referral order to a closed loop regardless of the referred-to providers EHR. Once a referral option is selected, ReferralPoint automates communication (SARA) with the patient to guide them along the journey then updates the status of each referral - including automated reminders, follow up, and even feedback surveys which can be used to update the scores of each provider. Because our solution is built on a data ingestion engine, we can close the referral loop a number of ways including engaging the patient, faxing the specialist, analyzing claims or receiving ADT feeds.

Use Cases

Description:

A health system is looking for ways to drive more patients to their cardiology service line. Historically, cardiology has been one of their more profitable service lines. With a provider network featuring multiple facilities and other service lines, the system has struggled to track the downstream progress of a patient after their primary care referral. 

Leveraging Care Continuity's PCP-to-Specialist Referral Management solution, a data feed of referrals is sent to Care Continuity where the software's AI uses dozens of data points -- including diagnoses, discharge notes, patient information, social determinants of health, and more -- as well as a set of customizable prioritization rules to create a navigation queue for a team of expert navigators to personally contact and navigate.

This allows for a multi-dimensional approach to patient navigation that can predict which patients are most in need of, as well as open to, navigational assistance. 

The trained team of navigators contact the patients based on their priority ranking and can coordinate the specialist appointment between both patient and office. On average, a patient navigator can schedule a higher percentage of appointments at a faster rate when compared to other self-navigation methods. In addition, appointments scheduled via a patient navigator are statistically less likely to result in a no-show. 

After the program is implemented, health system stakeholders receive a data dashboard that shows the downstream impact of the navigation, including the total number of appointments scheduled, the number of completed appointments, the number of appointments that required procedures, and median time to appointment. 

With this data broken down by both service line and facility, a health system can focus on a profitable service line such as Cardiology, looking for areas to improve their network and make a positive financial impact.

Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

Leading EHR functionality takes a very basic approach to patient navigation. When utilized, the EHR prioritization queue is binary, labeling every patient as urgent or non-urgent. Instead, Care Continuity not only expands the total number of evaluated data points needed to properly prioritize a patient, but Care Continuity also expands the priority listing to 10 levels, allowing for a more nuanced and tailored navigational experience. 

In addition, the EHR functionality requires the health system to staff a team of navigators. Unfortunately, this largely non-clinical function is staffed by clinical staff, severely hampering their ability to work at the top of their license. 

Care Continuity pairs their purpose-built software with a team of trained, non-clinical concierges who are experts in patient experience and proper navigation.

Differentiators vs Competitors:

With more than a decade of experience working with the nation's leading health systems, Care Continuity has had the honor of navigating millions of patients through the healthcare continuum. 

Leveraging purpose-built software with proprietary algorithms designed to efficiently navigation patients, Care Continuity can provide a customizable, high-ROI solution for health systems of any size.

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

We ingest your patients, claims, and 3rd party data

Differentiators vs Competitors:
