How Better Data Translates to Better Care (Room 274)

In a healthcare environment where home care and hospice are increasingly judged on care quality, it’s critical to have a full clinical history of your patients. Too often, organizations are limited to the data they collect themselves. Gaps in data mean you can’t know exactly how ill a patient may be and when to transition them from home care to hospice. You can’t know all the providers and facilities involved in the patient’s care. You can’t know which patients are at risk of high acute utilization. You can’t know when patients are being billed for services outside the Hospice Benefit. And you can’t track the quality metrics important to prospective referral partners and payers. This presentation will introduce the new CMS pilot program, Data at the Point of Care (DPC), which provides 3+ years of CMS Part A, B, and D data, and review how this data can be integrated with your EHR and used to coordinate care between providers, improve care quality, and help your organization thrive.
