The Health Care Crisis: Why Change Is Needed?
Unstructured Data
Organizations struggle to leverage the massive amounts of data generated by health care systems
Poor Care Co-ordination
$33.7 billion spent annually on preventable hospital admissions. About 27% of ED visits are preventable
Medication Adherence
Medication non-adherence costs $300 billion annually and leads to 100,000 preventable deaths
Tools
Lack of easy-to-use tools for predictive analytics
High Cost and Impact of Readmissions
Increases the cost of healthcare
Poor health outcomes for patients
Key measure for quality of care (inpatient and post-discharge)
Emotional toll and negative impact to lifestyle for patient
Challenges in Inpatient Transitions of Care
Limited Staff Resources
Time spent identifying members who are getting admitted, discharged or transferred
Non prioritization of high risk population
Data and Information
Non-real time data leading to delays in enrolling critical patients
Collating and merging member data from multiple sources, introduces delays and data inaccuracy
Fragmented Care
Lack of comprehensive information on the patient compromising continuity of care.
Readmissions and ER visits from prior admission
Manual Workflows
Reliance on phone calls and manual methods for care intervention across facilities
Ineffective handoffs leads to poor transitions
