HC360: Case Study
A Population Health Manager identified a 37-year-old male with a history of asthma and referred his case to a Therapeutic Resource Center pharmacist for outreach.
Challenge
Untreated, the constant inflammation destroys the surface layer of the airways. Without the layer acting as a “filter,” pollutants and allergens have direct access into the lungs.
During an attack, these muscles also tighten and further restrict the amount of air getting into the lungs. Eventually, the constant inflammation and muscle constriction can have irreversible effects.
Clinical care support coordination
Patient was late to fill inhaled corticosteroid, Symbicort.
During the conversation, the patient stated he was using less medication, due to cost concerns, as his son was recently diagnosed with autism.
Results
Patient refilled Symbicort.
The Population Health Manager referred the patient to a medical vendor that offers assistance to families for individuals with a diagnosis on the autism spectrum.
Connecting data for more holistic views
Health Connect 360 links providers with data insights through both specialist pharmacists and electronic health record communications via your Care Insights Hub, available day or night.
The Care Insights Hub allows us to determine which patients are most in need of outreach, helps clinicians tailor their approaches according to what is and isn’t working, and provides members with continuous opportunities for gaps-in-care, omission of essential testing, medication safety and preventative care.
Social Determinants of Health
On top of traditional data sets, we can uncover even more by applying our analytic capabilities—including potential social determinant of health challenges.
Looking at information such as access to food, shelter, and transportation is important because we know that 80% of an individual’s health is affected by what happens outside of the clinical setting. To effectively address clinical needs, we must identify members that may have been missed in the past, while seeking new ways to deliver on social needs.
Unrivaled care coordination
Health Connect 360 doesn’t rely solely on automated processes. Our entire care coordination team is made up of clinicians specially trained in providing care to your members and coordinating with their providers as needed.
Population health managers
Your Population Health Manager will be a clinician trained in data analysis dedicated to studying your data each day for suggested clinical engagements and to target individual patients based on their needs.
Through use of data insights, our clinicians helped close over 330,000 clinical gaps-in-care in a single year. That’s around 3,200 clinical gaps closed in a year for around 12,000 lives.6
Each day they will be looking for opportunities to address areas that need clinical attention, keeping you informed about the best available engagement options, making operations across different healthcare services easier and helping you achieve optimal outcomes.
Specialist pharmacists
Specialist pharmacists provide care to your members, coordinating with their care providers as needed and working with your medical carrier care management clinical teams to understand services available to the jointly managed membership.
More than 15 medical carriers are already integrated and active within the Care Insights Hub.
Our pharmacists identify patients in need of additional care, and refer the case to the member’s care/case management team for additional support via the Care Insights Hub.
Personalized care plans for each member leverage what is best for them, whether it’s a clinical solution we offer in house, or through another vendor you work with. Personalized care plans adjust with each member as needed, and this unique model has resulted in 96% member satisfaction with our specialist pharmacists.7
Care and case management
Care and case management teams can also leverage the Health Connect 360 clinical team to provide necessary member support.
This facilitation of member case referrals is executed through the Care Insights Hub, allowing team members to leverage member’s recorded data via remote monitoring devices and perform outreach to the member’s provider to consult on a care plan for the member.
Your case management member consultation can review recent case notes from the Health Connect 360 care teams, to continue the care plan the specialist pharmacist discussed with the member’s provider.
