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.

Description:

Elevate your approach to patient engagement

Achieve operational efficiencies, delight patients, and ease care management throughout the patient journey with an expanding portfolio of existing applications—or custom‑build your own. Work towards a comprehensive engagement strategy by continually adding automation where it makes sense. Our single solution can easily expand to additional patient journey use cases and channels.

NLU‑powered Intelligent Virtual Agent (IVA)

Deliver modern convenience when Nuance IVA accepts patient input in natural language, understands intent, and successfully resolves requests. Patients interact within natural conversations on phone lines, online chat, or messaging applications. System integration delivers access to information that drives effective self‑service capabilities, improving the patient experience.

Voice IVA routing

Surpass the capabilities of basic Interactive Voice Response (IVR), with Nuance IVA Routing on voice channels. Callers verbalize their needs—faster and easier than choosing from a laundry list of recited options—and are routed to mapped destinations like phone lines, self‑service options, or live agents. Patients get what they need while organizations decrease the number of calls handled by live agents.

Appointment Management

Automate the delivery of voice, email, and SMS appointment reminders based on real‑time data and extend the convenience of interactive confirming, cancelling, and rescheduling on the channel of contact. Alleviate care team manual work and speed service when patients modify or schedule appointments within an automated, conversational dialogue on voice and digital channels.

Patient Support

Empower patients to self‑serve telehealth visit preparation and patient portal account access or navigation issues. NLU‑powered conversational AI offers 24x7x365 bilingual assistance, with the option to transfer to a live agent.

Intelligent outreach

Strengthen the patient‑physician relationship and encourage good health with personalized outreach. From care gap reminders to broadcast messages to preventative screening notifications, thoughtful communication promotes wellness, protects revenue, and boosts satisfaction.

Patient FAQs

Extend the convenience of 24x7x365 access to answers to questions about patient care, appointments, billing, insurance, amenities, and services. Patients contact their provider on their channel of choice, interact conversationally, and receive requested information.

Rx management

Allow patients to self‑serve prescription refill requests that trigger automatic in‑workflow approval requests for physicians and refill status notifications for patients.

Biometric authentication

Protect patient data with biometric authentication through Nuance Gatekeeper and replace outdated, vulnerable authentication methods.

Do it yourself, but not alone

Harness the power of best‑in‑class Conversational AI services and APIs with Nuance Mix tooling platform and design a natural, conversational patient engagement experience. Use IVR and NLU, Text to Speech (TTS), and Speech to Text (STT) to power interactive dialogs. Once an application exists, quick adjustments allow deployment in multiple languages across multiple channels. Patients engage in natural conversations—no matter how they get in touch.

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.
