A revolutionary approach to healthcare IT
For better than a generation, makers of healthcare IT have sought to improve upon the Electronic Health Record by adding features and functions to answer the ever-growing demands of medicine.
Keeping up with the exponential growth of patient data in healthcare, however, demands a new approach. It requires that healthcare IT move from offering a collection of solutions to a platform that can engage with information from sources both within a given health system and far beyond it.
healow is for clinicians, hospitals, and payers
That new thinking has informed every step in the development of healow, our EHR-agnostic healthcare IT platform that can be adapted to meet the needs of practices, hospitals, and payers.
- Provider data: PRISMA leverages the Carequality® and CommonWell® Health Alliance interoperability networks to create a searchable, timeline view of each patient’s medical history at the point of care, helping guide better medical decision-making.
- Payer data: Our cloud-based healow Insights® service automates the bidirectional exchange of actionable data between health plans and providers. Clinical and hospital staff can gain a 360-degree view of their members’ claims data, while insurance payers enjoy timely access to supplemental data.
- Patient data: With the Remote Patient Monitoring module, clinicians can gather data from patients’ activity monitors and health tracking devices. The information becomes part of the patient’s record, giving near real-time information that can help providers review and manage patients’ health.
Going beyond the EHR
The key to obtaining and sharing all this data lies with PRISMA, the industry’s first health information search engine.
When a provider, for example, is ready to inquire into a given patient’s case, they begin with a search inquiry through PRISMA, which draws records from clinics, specialists, hospitals, and health systems — any source that is connected to either the Carequality or CommonWell Health Alliance nationwide interoperability networks.
Next, PRISMA creates a searchable, timeline view of the patient’s complete health history — on demand and at the point of care.
Thus, even before the patient visit starts, a provider knows what information in that patient’s record is most likely to be relevant to the care episode. That can mean more efficient workflows, a sharper focus on the patient’s needs, more informed decision-making, and better medical outcomes.
Thousands of practices now use PRISMA every day, exchanging 100 million patient records each month.
PRISMA is only the beginning
As powerful as PRISMA is, it’s only the beginning of what healow has to offer. Each of the following tools contributes to one or more aspects of a fully unified healthcare IT ecosystem.
