Improving healthcare outcomes is one of the major goals of doctors and healthcare organizations. To keep patients satisfied with high-care delivery athenahealth and Humana have decided to collaborate by adding value to their members through athenaClinicals Electronic Medical Records (EMR) software system. The integration will help support physician decision-making at the point of care which is necessary to improve patient outcome levels.
The intelligence from Humana will enable providers to hands-on address all patient needs through the EMR software workflow resulting in care management discussions between the clinician and the patient and providing better opportunities to doctors to offer value-based care. By working hand in hand with athenahealth, the company can improve the quality of patient care delivery and streamline administrative procedures for medical organizations.
How will this collaboration improve healthcare outcome levels?
Let’s dive in deeper to find out how better patient outcomes will be delivered. Providers need the right knowledge to propose the right treatment and care options for their patients. Humana and athenahealth will incorporate clinical and supplemental data in real-time for clinicians to provide valuable insights that will help identify probable time-sensitive breaches in inpatient care. For instance, diabetic patients can feel overcome with the number of yearly appointments for BP checks, eye exams, and other medical reviews. The data provided by Humana can prompt automatic appointment alarms which can help providers improve patient diabetic management process and improving overall patient experience and making sure diabetic patients don’t miss out on their scheduled appointments. The data-driven understandings will support the decision-making process of the provider to provide the best treatment options.
Patients can expect to stay on their healthcare roadway through real-time data closing any gaps in the care process. The goal of the partnership is to support clinical decision-making and ultimately improving healthcare outcomes. This will promote a well-informed diagnosis and augment a reliable and quick decision- making process for diagnosis. Patient outcomes are directly affected by accurate diagnosis, suggested treatment options, and treatment monitoring.
