InformedCare programs ensure patients become more knowledgeable. Consequently, physician/patient meetings are more time and cost effective based on improved understanding of the basis for the patient’s condition. InformedCare helps engaged patients play a more effective and lively role in their health.
Medical excellence is enhanced when patients take an active part in their treatment plan. To ensure excellence of service and outcome, patients must be engaged, involved participants in their care. InformedCare Self-Management Suite helps improves communication–enabling patients to take more active roles in their care.
InformedCare programs deliver evidence-based medical information in a way that is simple and easy to understand. Interactive programs cover a wide range of health topics and procedures relating to chronic conditions, including informed decision making, patient safety and medication safety.
Quality Improvement Opportunities
InformedCare programs strengthen the physician’s ability to demonstrate success to patients, healthcare providers and regulators. For example, programs can directly impact AHRQ CAHPS® scores, providing the specific kinds of information and patient-provider interactions covered by CAHPS surveys on chronic care and surgical procedures.
Higher quality ratings, documented patient experiences and improved, measurable clinical outcomes support advantageous negotiations with payers regarding discounts and reimbursements. They also increase patient confidence in organization services and confirm the patient population is receiving the highest quality health care possible by:
- Increasing Clinical Quality
- Reporting a better understanding of patient healthcare needs.
- Improving Patient Satisfaction.
- Providing ability to improve Press Ganey scores.
- Mitigating Risk. Malpractice carriers are able to offer premium discounts to providers using InformedCare programs.
- Enhancing Efficiency.
