“ Value -based care is the focus of everything we design , even from a technological standpoint ”

“ Typically , in any hospital , it ’ s the insurance companies as the payers who calculate all this data and report back to you on what the patients need . The typical workflow is waiting six to nine months after the point of care to tell you what didn ’ t happen , and then you have to manually try to either get these patients back in , or prove that you did . We ’ ve turned this data into realtime clinical indicators ” he explains .
CareBridge can provide this information directly to the payer or the clinician , and as a result in just six months Memorial has improved point-of-care gap closure from 8.5 to 30 %. “ We ’ ve had phenomenal feedback from the physicians , with some saying they can see two more patients a day because they walk into the room knowing what needs to be done .”
The intention is to use CareBridge to manage a range of chronic diseases and standards of care such as mammograms for women and bone density scans for people with osteoporosis .
