Use Cases

Description:

A health system is struggling to reduce inpatient readmissions which is negatively impacting their Star ratings. The system believes the readmissions are avoidable if discharged patients attended necessary follow-up and speciality appointments in a timely matter. However, with the data they have, it is difficult to segment their readmission issues by service line, discharge diagnosis, and facility/clinic. 

By leveraging Care Continuity's Inpatient Post-Discharge Patient Navigation services, the health system was not only able to reduce readmissions through better navigation tactics, but they also unlocked valuable insights into network performance.

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:
  • Online Scheduling – new patients can book appointments from your website without setting up an EHR patient portal account
  • Referral Management – website portal for receiving referrals, customized workflow, automated alerts when referrals need attention
  • Patient Communications – automated text/email messages sent to patients triggered at specific steps in the consult or referral journey
  • Provider Communications – automated consult and referral status updates sent to sending providers to close the loop between PCPs and specialists
  • Fax Management – manage all inbound faxes and push faxed referrals into the referral workflow, ability to split faxes into multiple documents
  • Marketing CRM – physician liaisons can document outreach and compare outreach activity with referral volume from their partners
  • Market Research – over 7 million providers pre-loaded which allows you to identify new potential referral partners in your target markets
  • Referral Analytics – comprehensive suite of analytics to report on all your referral metrics (trends, volume, leakage, service levels, outreach, etc.)

Differentiators vs Competitors:

Differentiator 1: All-In-One Platform

  • Some vendors offer patient access, referral management, e-consults or CRMs. Our cloud-based platform offers them all plus the following features.
  • Real-time analytics across the platform
  • Automated workflow and decision support tools
  • Automated feedback loop with referring providers
  • Automated patient communications via text or email
  • Integrated fax management system (port over existing fax numbers)
  • Integrated Customer/Partner Relationship Management (CRM/PRM)
  • Marketing research tools based on a directory of over 7 million providers

Differentiator 2: Rapid Integration Capabilities

  • Our integration engine allows our Integrations Team to quickly deploy system interfaces using APIs, FHIR, HL7, Direct, etc. which is important when implementing the platform for health systems, ACOs and CINs with many EHRs, data warehouses and other third-party systems across their networks.  
  • In addition, we comply with the third-party system’s specifications rather than asking the vendor to follow our requirements which streamlines the integration process and reduces cost for the client. 

Differentiator 3: All Healthcare Referrals Supported

  • The system is highly configurable and can support all healthcare referral types such as medical, specialty care, therapy, imaging, dental, behavioral health, hospice, home care, etc.  
  • The customization in the system allows clients to define their own workflows, referral forms, patient communication templates, and other settings that can be standardized across the organization.
