Streamline Care Management Initiatives with InterSystems HealthShare Care Community

Improving outcomes with a team-based approach to patient care

Hospitals, healthcare systems, and health plans are implementing team-based, patient-centered, care management programs to improve care quality and boost clinical outcomes. With a care management approach, extended multidisciplinary care teams—physicians, home health workers, community caregivers, family members, and others—work closely together to help patients manage their health needs outside the hospital. Care management programs are often used to support patients recovering from complex or chronic conditions like cancer or a stroke after they are discharged from the hospital and transition to in-home care.

Care management initiatives can help healthcare delivery organizations reduce hospitalizations and emergency room visits, avoid duplicate tests and non-essential medical appointments, and decrease population health risks and care costs. But sharing information and coordinating tasks across an extended care team is no easy matter. Care-team members often work for different organizations with different EHR systems and workflows. Each organization may have a unique care management platform and distinct care plans. And some organizations may still rely on paper-based methods.

Disjointed systems and practices can impair collaboration and visibility, squander valuable time and resources, and compromise care quality and patient satisfaction. Even an individual enterprise (e.g., a large healthcare system with many different hospitals and EHR systems) can face these challenges.

Coordinating care across diverse organizations and settings

InterSystems HealthShare Care Community® makes it easy for extended teams to create, customize, update, and share comprehensive digital care plans. The HL7® FHIR®-enabled solution breaks down information silos and interoperability barriers, providing a common data model and consistent experience for all users. With HealthShare Care Community, cross-organizational care-team members and patients seamlessly exchange information and coordinate activities, in real time, from any location. The solution improves visibility for caregivers and allows patients to contribute directly to their care plans, increasing provider efficiency, patient satisfaction, and quality of care. HealthShare Care Community helps healthcare delivery organizations identify high-risk groups, evaluate the effectiveness of targeted programs, and focus resources on the patients most in need of care.

UK National Health Service (NHS) Transforms Information Sharing with HealthShare Care Community

Lincolnshire NHS uses InterSystems HealthShare® to power an integrated care portal and, with HealthShare Care Community, to provide individualized care plans to local care teams and patients. The InterSystems solutions enable doctors, nurses, health practitioners, care providers, and care managers to efficiently share information and coordinate care from any setting. Care Community helps care providers save time and effort, and improve care quality and patient experience by providing full and instant access to accurate treatment plans and patient preferences. Clinicans use the care portal to review patient records and care plans in advance of visits, improving readiness and simplifying consultations and community-based visits. This approach helps the NHS improve population health and reduce care costs by moving care out of hospitals and closer to the citizens of Lincolnshire.
