Health Management: Is It the Key to Better Healthcare?

We hear that the instances of chronic illnesses such as diabetes are on the rise. Then, we hear that reimbursement is on the decline. How can you effectively care for patients and get paid without working 24 hours a day? Health management systems may be a big part of the answer. They do much of the work – managing and tracking data for you and enabling you to demonstrate compliance with pay-for-performance programs requirements.

How Does It Work?
Many electronic health record (EHR) solutions today offer at least some functionality in the area of health management. There are already standard care guidelines for many conditions that have been created by the American Medical Association and other organizations. Once these guidelines are in the system, whether they are condition specific or specific to say age or gender, you can have the system prompt you with reminders and notices related to patient care.

Sage Software Can Help
Intergy EHR offers a comprehensive health management system that is easy to use and provides many benefits to both providers and patients. Health management tools can be set up to provide support for ongoing care of chronic conditions like diabetes as well as preventive care. In addition, clinical flowsheets show a view of a patient’s vital signs, symptoms, lab results and medications trended over time, making it possible to review the patient’s status in one comprehensive view. Through the automated chart, encounter and disease management help eliminate errors and provide you with documentation of patient interactions and events. With this data, you may be able to gain reimbursement from Pay-for-Performance programs, participate in research studies, and improve the care of your patients.
