With nearly 100 new clinical guidelines introduced each month, many of today’s clinicians struggle to stay up-to-date on ever evolving best practices. This may lead to missed opportunities, inadvertent outdated treatments, and medical errors. By leveraging the scale of its network, athenahealth is able to precisely identify and activate providers treating patients who may have a high likelihood of being impacted by recent clinical guidance. As part of this workflow, appropriate care activation can happen faster than it does in traditional scenarios.
“Keeping abreast of the continuous stream of relevant clinical guidelines and alerts is challenging for any provider, regardless of specialty. The idea of Network Medicine – leveraging a national network to identify patients in need of certain care and activating a care team around them – will not only make clinicians smarter, but has great potential to save lives,” said Dr. Thomas Portuese, MD, Hudson Headwaters Health Network. “This type of innovation is incredibly exciting for our doctors, patients and communities.”
To date, athenahealth has seen initial success in alerting providers and patients at risk of public health crises such as the Zika virus, identifying over 6,000 patients at risk of contracting the virus in Wynwood and Miami Beach, Florida, and Rio Grande Valley, Texas.
“When the Zika virus hit Florida, we were concerned not only about our pregnant patients, but those who could potentially become pregnant,” said Dr. Diego I. Shmuels, Director of Clinical Practice Management, Borinquen Health Care Center of Miami Dade. “Together with athenahealth, we were able to activate the CDC’s updated guidelines, identify patients at high risk in our community, and encourage them to come in for screening.”
Building on the success of this initiative, athenahealth will roll out new campaigns in 2017 focused on the following primary, chronic and acute care scenarios:
New campaigns focusing on HIV prevention and screening for lung cancer and developmental hip dysplasia are also planned for 2017.
“Medicine grows more complex each day, and it’s incredibly difficult for clinicians to stay current on medical innovation, new research, and therapeutic interventions. Technology must help connect clinical staff to better information without bogging them down,” said Jonathan Bush, CEO of athenahealth. “We’ve made it our mission to build the healthcare internet to make this industry work as it should. At athenahealth, we can uniquely look across our national network of nearly 88,000 providers, treating millions of patients across the U.S., and identify scenarios to activate care teams and patients. With Network Medicine and in collaboration with the best health and medical expert organizations across the country, we are able to drive better health and, in some instances, stamp out bad medicine.”
