Integrated IT Solutions for All Levels of Healthcare Reform
Healthcare Reform mandated by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH), and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) are changing the way healthcare is practiced – and they are changing it now.
These federal mandates are also reshaping how we think about and use health information technology.
Enabling interoperable EHRs, HIE, and health insurance exchange.
Shared Needs
Healthcare is becoming integrated
No more siloed and redundant business processes. Improving healthcare quality and efficiency requires that information must flow synergistically across all domains, through all business process and among all authorized users.
Healthcare IT solutions for the 21st century will be modular. Components will be reusable, sharable, and interoperable. All healthcare programs share common requirements: authenticate participants, locate services, authorize access, protect privacy, monitor results, and share information securely.
Cognosante helps you discover and implement services that can be shared across your healthcare enterprise and meet your goals of improved performance at lower cost in less time.
Shared Priorities
The time for shared services is now
ACA, HITECH and PPACA set an aggressive schedule to reform our healthcare system at all levels – payer, provider, and public health agencies through adoption and meaningful use of electronic health records, health insurance exchanges, and health information exchange.
A nationwide healthcare system integrated across all domains is no longer a distant dream. We are in the process of creating it right now. Cognosante helps our clients to prioritize projects, benefit from identifying sharable services, and address multiple mandates where requirements are changing rapidly while deadlines are not.
Shared Services
Funds are limited
ACA, HITECH and PPACA provide much-needed funding to create an integrated healthcare system, however these funds are insufficient to address all domains, all needs and all priorities individually. Cognosante helps you identify shared services to address competing priorities with limited resources.
Shared Exchange Services
The solution is coming
Cognosante can provide shared services representing the basic building blocks of enterprise-wide HIE and HIX. These modules support common business processes with technical solutions in a standards-based, service oriented architecture.
Cognosante’s shared exchange services:
- support enrollment of consumers and providers in plans and networks
- provide indexes that can be queried for client, patient or provider eligibility for plans, services and incentives
