Salesforce on Monday unveiled new functionality within its Health Cloud to address caps in care and help clinicians assess patients. Health Cloud Care Gaps help hospitals monitor gaps in a patient’s care and communicate with patients outside the hospital setting via technologies including telehealth, said Joshua Newman, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Salesforce. Closing gaps in care can improve health and clinical outcomes. “As long as care gaps are managed in systems that don’t let users reach out to people, there’s going to be a major chasm,” Newman said. “Having it in a single system means the gaps can be filled.” Clinicians can use the new Health Cloud Assessments features to conduct a daily survey with patients to gauge, say, their level of pain or range of motion after a joint replacement surgery, for example. The assessments can also include lifestyle, emotional response, health risks, patient activation, and other considerations. “Our analytics are connected to all of this,. The assessment, clinical data can be drilled into to find patients that might need an intervention or a phone call, a follow-up,” Newman said. “With the combination of analytics, assessments and care plans were getting to a closed-loop system.

LOGIQ E10 offers 48 times the data throughput and 10 times the processing power of previous systems, officials say.

The new offering provides technical tools for designing and building value-based reimbursement contracts among hospitals and payers.

Microsoft Genomics and other innovations build upon the software giant’s Healthcare NExT platform.

The EHR maker will also be featuring innovations in longitudinal health records, cloud services, machine learning and more to help customers manage value-based contracting.

A recent SEC filing by the voice and language tool vendor outlined a December cyberattack, which impacted the records of 45,000 individuals.

Launching at HIMSS18 next week, the new software aims to create seamless data sharing between ambulatory and acute care settings.

InterQual will show the new generally-available version at HIMSS18.

The hospital says the TriNetX network gives its patients the chance to participate in clinical trials they otherwise might not know exist.

Google Cloud has two booths, with one location in the HIMSS Innovation Lab, and its speakers will address a range of topics, including interoperability and security.
