We believe the best care and utilization management approach involves partnering with physicians and their teams to create and follow pathways that put patients first By managing 400+ staff members, we support physician practices with care coordination, transitions, navigation, quality improvement, and advanced analytics State-of-the-art information technology ensures that our teams are equipped with risk stratification tools, EMR and claims data We leverage the capabilities of the Texas Health and UT Southwestern acute care hospitals, with support from PHSC dedicated to population health management Our mandate to better coordinate and reduce cost of care Working together to close gaps in healthcare. For providers, understanding the full scope of patient care needs has been daunting for a number of reasons. There are gaps in processes and a lack of digitized health data among other things. As a result, it’s hard to gather what might have the greatest impact on the population as a whole, as well as on individual patients. But our approach is different. These are the three areas that make up the population health and clinical integration performance analytics. Analytics Architecture – built to include claims-based analytics, supplemented by real-time (or near real-time) physician practice EMR data, scheduling data, and hospital ADT information (including non-SWHR hospitals) Opportunity Analysis – identifying patients that need PHSC support services, including high-risk care management, preventive care, incorporation into disease management programs, referral guidelines, and utilization management programs Direct Patient Engagement – ability to directly engage patients through personal and automated means to track adherence to care management protocols and provide additional support services How we support your needs: We prefer a coordinated approach with an employer through benefit design. This includes requesting claims and pharmacy data for the past two years from an employer group. By using a predictive modeling tool, we can assess individuals with chronic diseases and identify the best Care Management program based on their risk level. Using data to improve physician performance. Population Health Services provides us with a unique health management system that allows information and improvements to be rapidly scaled across the network. An extensive data repository (from physician EMRs that now include nearly 3 million unique D/FW patients), data integration, and analytics all feed into a robust health information exchange system that helps physicians improve performance. Using information and resources from Population Health Services, individual physicians and physician groups are supported in improving quality and safety, as well as reducing the total cost of care. This supports opportunities to build improvements of individual providers and groups, as well as the overall performance of the Physician Network. Here’s how we’re working to make healthcare better.
