MRO Lets Payers and Providers See the Same Ledger
Health care payers, such as CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, traditionally have only billing data on their patients. That’s why Mo Weitnauer, chief product officer at MRO, calls clinical data “the hottest commodity” in health care.
Piyush Khanna, Vice President Clinical Services at CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, would like to store all their data in a single repository and use it for “bidirectional conversations” between the payer and providers. This can provide doctors with data at the point where the clinical decisions are being made—for instance, to perform dialysis at-home or in the clin...

Ensuring Precision in Patient Identity: Modern Approaches to Master Data Management
The government and many healthcare leaders are pushing for more interoperability and data sharing in healthcare. While this is great and has the potential to make a really big impact for good on the lives of patients and potentially costs, one thing that is often missed in this discussion is high quality patient identification. This is a problem that’s made worse by not having a national patient identifier, but let’s set that topic aside for a moment and recognize that even with a national patient identifier, patient identification and patient matching is still going to be a massive challenge.
The depth of ...

The Evolution of the EHR Service Desk and Leveraging an Outside Provider
Dan O’Connor, Vice President, Service Desk Delivery at HCTec, says that resolving a customer service call involves a lot more than fixing the problem that the customer bought. You have to leave the customer feeling that you cared about them. Conveying that sense of care might be more important than solving the problem.
Furthermore, every call is about patient care, even if it’s helping a staff person use their computer. That’s because they are all ultimately serving a patient.
In this video, O’Connor explores service desks with Audrius Polikaitis, Chief Information Officer at UI Health, which serves...

It ’ s Time to Get Patient Addresses Straight
Amazing how a trivial detail such as a postal address can cause so many headaches and so much waste. But in health care, a lack of address standardization is a major barrier to important aspects of care, including the sharing of patient records demanded by our trend to value-based care.
Part of the problem is provider laziness, because the US postal service offers a standard addressing process called CASS, and several services draw on it to ensure the correct use of abbreviations, ZIP codes, and other elements of the address. But many providers just enter into the databases and EHRs whatever the patient put down on a form ...
