The trend of value-based care remains strong in 2018. Among organizations that have made the switch to value-based care, 74 percent of them have reported positive financial results. As more and more healthcare providers continue to adopt value-based care, interoperability has become more important than ever. According to the Healthcare Information and Management System Society (HIMSS), interoperability “describes the extent to which systems and devices can exchange data, and interpret that shared data”.
The Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) survey showed that over 70 percent of healthcare financial executives say that “interoperability must improve within the next three years to ensure the success of value-based care”. Better interoperability is especially important when treating patients with chronic conditions as they typically see multiple physicians and specialists and require more data-sharing and communicating across different departments and stages of care.
Interoperability has many significant benefits. For instance, it enables the efficient delivery of care and more informed decision-making by providing clinicians instantaneous access to a patient’s health information and medical data. A complete, real time patient view also helps reduce redundancy of medical testing, further contributing to reduced medical costs. Another benefit is that interoperability promotes continuity of care and effective coordination of providers and transitions of care. These potential benefits lead to a better overall outcome and higher satisfaction for patients.
Currently, however, many organizations do not have proper tools or technologies to provide care through interoperability. That’s where Medssenger comes in. Medssenger provides the technology and platform needed for improving interoperability. Our capability to deliver structured communication with proper data and record, along with our monitoring system and tracking of activities across all organizations for both providers and patients, offers the exact tools that many health providers lack and look for. Furthermore, our action-oriented interface for purposeful, coordinated workflow management fills the gap in care coordination. In this era of increasingly connected and team-based care, Medssenger enables seamless, frictionless flow of communication, workflow, and coordination that helps healthcare providers overcome interoperability barriers and achieve better outcomes.
