Learn the trends, results, and lessons experienced from a 600+ physician IPA organization that uses clinical and business intelligence quality reporting tools populated by HIE data to enhance care coordination and quality management and improve care delivery in a community of disparate EHRs across the continuum of patient care. This presentation will describe the governance and leadership structure of NTSP, as well as the benefits and results of NTSP’s journey to implement a clinical and business intelligence tool that assists its physicians in their accountable care coordination and quality management activities. This presentation will also show clinical results and trends experienced by NTSP physicians after the deployment of the HIE-integrated quality measures and reporting application.
Upon completion of the presentation, the participant will be able to describe NTSP’s advanced care model that includes strong physician governance and leadership, an integrated delivery system with HIE and quality reporting, and patient centeredness initiatives; describe the benefits realized by patients and physicians over a 36 month period from the use of an interoperable HIE platform; indentify clinical examples and results of physicians using the clinical decision support application supported by integrated HIE data at the point of care to track care quality measures, providing patients with more efficient and accountable care; discuss the benefits and trends realized by deploying quality reports (e.g., PQRS, Meaningful Use, HEDIS, Five-Star) produced by the HIE retrospectively, at the point of care, and prospectively; and explain the pivotal role of data analytics supported by HIE data in allowing physicians and patients to adhere to care guidelines and improve quality of care.
