An ACO’s drop in admissions, Medicare spending shows clear value of Healthix Clinical Alerts
|
The promising results of a study following 19,000 Medicare beneficiaries in Long Island and the New York Metro area, treated through Primary PartnerCare ACO Independent Practice Association, show the benefits of using Healthix data.
In 2018, the ACO, which participates in the Medicare Shared Savings Program, compared primary care practices’ hospital admissions and readmissions in correlation with the percentage of Medicare patients in each practice that had consented to Healthix, which allows Healthix to send Clinical Alerts to Primary PartnerCare. The results demonstrated that Healthix real-time Alerts played a definitive role in enabling Primary PartnerCare to drive down Medicare spending costs and improve patient outcomes.

Thought leaders share innovative ideas, “Shark Tank” style, with Healthix
|
On March 14, Healthix hosted its own version of “Shark Tank” where clinical leadership and a panel of health IT business leaders and experts presented and judged “pitches” for the most innovative use of health information exchange services. Three teams, represented by Healthix Participants, including Northwell Health, Institute for Family Health, Maimonides Medical Center and NYU Langone and Healthix Project Managers, presented thoughtful proposals to a panel – much like the reality TV show “Shark Tank” – to convince the judges why their project should receive consideration for the development of new service offerings by Healthix. The exchange of ideas and innovative uses of HIE services is now part of an ongoing Healthix Thought Leader Focus Group series.
