Hospitals, Integrated Health Networks (IHNs) and Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs) need to provide timely access to the right information, in the right form, in order to deliver quality care. Some hospitals and healthcare providers have already adopted Electronic Health Records (EHRs), yet this is only the first step towards delivering quality care. At the same time, other organizations are struggling at the point of care to collect patient data from multiple hospital systems, portals and community EHRs. NexJ provides two solutions that address these challenges.
NexJ Health Exchange helps hospitals and healthcare organizations to bring together patient data from disparate silos and transform it into useable clinical information so they can achieve initial Meaningful Use objectives, ensure optimal reimbursement, and provide better quality of care by:
- Improving the coordination of care across the organization by connecting multiple disparate legacy and proprietary systems and consolidating patient information into a single comprehensive view.
- Enabling efficient referrals through automation of the manual processes involved in provider-to-provider communications to close the gaps in the continuity of care.
- Reducing rising healthcare costs by streamlining processes across providers, reducing paper-based record keeping, and eliminating the need for duplicate tests.
- Leveraging investments in existing systems with support for standards-based messaging, clinical document formats and clinical terminologies using an open platform, as well as pre-built adapters to integrate with common proprietary systems.
- Facilitating physician adoption of EHRs by providing easy access to consolidated patient information through a Provider Portal.
- Empowering patients to be participants in their health care by providing a comprehensive Electronic Heath Record that can be shared directly with the patient and their care team through a web-based portal.
For hospitals and healthcare organizations that are already connected to an HIE, NexJ Connected Wellness builds on the connectivity provided by the HIE to provide additional value-added capabilities that organizations need to achieve other Stage 1, 2 and 3 meaningful use objectives. Using NexJ Connected Wellness, organizations can achieve MU objectives and move towards providing accountable care by:
- Enable a comprehensive view of members and patients by automating member services and reducing the cost of providing effective, co-ordinated care.
- Improving outcomes and reducing readmission rates by automatically providing prescriptive programs to patients when they are discharged from the hospital.
- Increasing the effectiveness of care by enabling centralized disease screening across population groups.
- Improving patient experience and affinity by providing outreach programs in the community to proactively treat and manage patients outside the hospital.
- Speeding the time to care by facilitating referrals with providers in the network.
- Proactively managing chronic conditions and promoting wellness through health coaching plans over the web or mobile devices.
