Patient Engagement

At the kidney care provider, congestive heart failure patients receive more than a dozen supportive calls and messages, on average, in the first 30 days, post-hospitalization. That outreach has helped drive down 90-day readmission rates to under 25%.

With updated CMS billing codes and reimbursement eligibility, remote patient monitoring is fast becoming a standard of care for management of chronic conditions. A remote care CEO offers a closer look at one provider's positive outcomes.

Patients in the largely rural pediatric population now have a better office experience and more personalized treatment with artificial intelligence, says VCH's physician informatics director.

Collaborating on identity verification tech is making it possible for patients to go to TEFCA and get their records, says HealthEx CEO Dr. Priyanka Agarwal. She also weighed in on what's needed to rapidly scale Individual Access Services.

Using virtual care, clinicians can conduct follow-up appointments - transitional care when there's the risk of readmission - that benefit patients, says Dr. Matthew Thompson, an ER physician and the CEO of Telescope Health.

Patients of Epic providers onboarded to TEFCA can now access and share a single, real-time health record with HealthEx’s new service, and securely share it with any trusted third party, the companies say.

The sprawling health system has a wide variety of virtual care wins, with accomplishments including some 2 million virtual visits annually – including a successful primary care program and more than 20,000 hospital-at-home patients.

Imagine Pediatrics President Kari O'Rourke says its technology acts as the "air traffic controller" of care coordination for children with special healthcare needs.

Data from over 20,000 seniors was examined using machine learning to identify acute risk factors.

Sharing data is just the beginning of what artificial intelligence can do for healthcare, said Seema Verma, GM of Oracle Health and Life Sciences, at the company's annual summit.
