Gaps in Care
A bundled solution addressing clinical gaps in care.
From outdated technologies to public health crises or regional social determinants — gaps in care occur for any number of reasons. No matter the reason, getting patients to comply with standard protocols of care is paramount to managing their care.
As healthcare workers treat new and growing emergencies, while simultaneously working to update legacy systems, it can be difficult to stay on top of existing patients’ health status. Especially if patients themselves aren’t proactive. Recurring appointments for health and wellness can be postponed or cancelled, and if no followup occurs to reschedule, this creates or further extends clinical gaps in care.
Shifting focus from revenue to health
At Silverline, we know that health recovery isn’t just a focus on returning to a steady state — both for patient wellness and hospital financials. It is about foundationally adjusting the way in which patients and consumers, along with all providers and organizations, interact moving forward.
How can your organization leverage its data to re-engage with patients and identify the next best actions that help close gaps in care?
The manner, mode, and channel in which we engage with, or as, patients is changing. Virtual is becoming the norm. Home or remote models of care are rapidly on the way to becoming a new standard. While these new standards of care can help bring revenue to healthcare organizations — more importantly, they surface the need for consumers and patients to improve how they communicate and address health concerns.
Identifying and addressing care gaps
While times have changed, the challenges with addressing gaps in care have primarily stayed the same. Providers continue to struggle with identifying a potential gap, confirming it exists, engaging the patient, and finally following up to make sure the gap is closed.
So how do we do better? One approach that’s been especially successful involves customers who use Cerner’s HealtheIntent application and its CRM corollary HealtheCRM™.
Combining Cerner data and insights platform, HealtheIntent®, with the Salesforce Health Cloud and Marketing Cloud technology enhances consumer and provider engagement for health care organizations by:
- identifying gaps in care from a care management standpoint to better close gaps from a disease
- sending targeted campaigns focused on re-engaging patients to improve their care and close the gaps
- driving new revenue while improving the health of the population you serve
These components provide the framework for identifying care gaps for patients, creating actionable records in Health Cloud, and automating engagement to close the care gap.
Since every healthcare organization is unique, the Gaps in Care bundle can be configured to meet specific care gap management needs and process flows.
Of course, for customers that are not HealtheIntent customers, there are similar strategies to achieve comparable results by maintaining a focus on your core data in Salesforce Health Cloud, and proper Marketing Cloud journey execution.
