Initiate® healthcare solutions enable higher quality information sharing for healthcare organizations
Information collected across healthcare systems has grown exponentially due to the increased use of clinical software, more complex regulatory reporting requirements and increased consolidation of health systems. Initiate healthcare solutions enable higher quality information sharing by connecting systems and participants across heterogeneous environments and resolving patient and provider identities at all points of service. These solutions enable more informed decision making, increased efficiencies and reduced costs.
Initiate health information sharing solutions can assist you with these challenges:
- Provider Management: The inability to properly identify providers and their relationships with patients or the patient’s outcomes mars the ability to measure the value of care given by that provider. Provider credentialing is critical to the safety of patients. Private healthcare enterprises rely on referrals to increase market share and remain competitive.
- Clinical Information Sharing: Systems today rely on different patient identifiers and terminology creating silos of fragmented data. Healthcare enterprises need to present the right information at the point of decision making to improve decisions, reduce costs and improve the patient experience.
- Patient Access: As healthcare enterprises expand their reach, it becomes necessary to break boundaries, whether departmental, regional or national, to improve the patient experience and ensure that the latest information is available at the point of service.
- Chronic Disease Management: Global healthcare spending continues to grow at an unsustainable rate. To reduce costs or slow the rate of increased healthcare spending, organizations must understand the health of populations and identify trends in data.
Leveraging proven and productive healthcare expertise to associate information from heterogeneous applications within and across organizational boundaries, the Initiate Interoperable Health solution facilitates the exchange of information across the healthcare ecosystem.
