G.T. Sweeney, Chief Information Officer, Healthfirst and Sami Boshut, Chief Information Officer, MediSys Health Network, Inc., join Eric to discuss how their organizations collaborated with a technology company to create a cloud-based platform that enables seamless sharing of patient data across the care continuum.
The platform connects longitudinal data from claims, quality measures and electronic health records (EHRs) to identify gaps in care, making it easier for providers to address patient needs in real-time. The two discuss how the platform supports the next phase of value-based care by ensuring providers have the right information at the right time to address the needs of patients.
Sweeney and Boshut also provide a blueprint to help other organizations implement similar provider-centric technology systems.
