10. Five Elements of Population Management
Identify members of the cohort
Leverage multiple data sources: EHR, billing, claims, ADT
Develop algorithms to identify cohort members
Consider clinicians (including referring physician) and patient
as sources
Gather information on the cohort into a database or
registry
Organize relevant clinical and financial data
Present tabular views and visual representations of data
Develop logic to highlight cohort members in need of
follow-up
Fail to meet a process standard
Fail to meet a clinical outcome standard
Fail to meet a measures that matter standard
Develop population management software to track patient
interventions
Document attempts to contact patients
Capture results of contact and interventions
Gain insight through reporting and analytic tools
Population reports to describe the population and its
status
Operational reports to quantify the services provided
Outcome reports to assess the impact of services
11. Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing
Quality and quantity of Partners data are rapidly
improving
Much of this data resides in our transactional systems
Transactional systems are not organized for efficient
reporting
Reporting off transactional systems drags down their
performance
Critical need for coordinated, enterprise data warehousing
strategy
Build on current data warehousing islands
Enterprise coordination of multiple activities
Data governance, access and security policies
Data modeling
Data extraction from transactional systems
Database management
Analytic tool selection and user support services
Success tied to multiple strategic initiatives
Population management
Accountable Care Organization
Payment reform (e.g., global risk, bundled payments)
12. Decision Support
Pause points Decision support opportunities
Increase depth and sophistication of decision support
Focus on condition-specific care redesign teams
Express decision support at pause points
Incorporate checklists and other guidance
Increase breadth of decision support
Leverage financial and administrative data
13. Patient Portals
Online engagement of patients and their families
Access to patient medical record
Access to library of health information
Message with physician practice
Tools to support more efficient care delivery
Patient-entered data
Platform for alternative care delivery strategies
14. Referring Physician Solutions
Referring physician portal
Delivery of consult information
Access services
Coordination of care
Regional Health Information Exchange (HIE)
Platform to support health information exchange at scale
