Solutions for Accountable Care Organizations

The recent healthcare legislation and regulations have authorized HHS to sponsor and create the concept of a managed care organization, focused on continuous quality improvement (CQI), which is termed the Accountable Care Organization or ACO.

The mission of the ACO is to improve the quality of care while enhancing the revenue of the ACO organization. 

The Health Sciences Universe provides a comprehensive solution to clinical and financial data acquisition, monitoring patients remotely and communicating with the patient and their family through secure, audited office and mobile communications wherever they may be, either home, work or at large.  

The ACO solutions in the product combine financial, clinical , and quality of care functions with communications and coordination of care processes to ensure that the ACO can meet its quality of care objectives by controlling costs and quality through better coordination with other providers and patients in real-time.

All clinical, financial and administrative information is available to the research applications and functions to improve the clinical and financial quality programs of the ACO.

Functions included in the ACO solution include:

  • surveillance and "watch" groups for high risk patients
  • rule-based clinical care
  • an architecture based on personal services for patients and families
  • integration with employers and non-clinical providers of services
  • 7x24 access to smart phones and home devices
  • self-generated (non-attested) medical and personal health entries
  • wellness and disease management program design
  • a fully integrated Personal Health Record in a Clinical Data Repository
  • forums for shared documents and communications among forum members: patients, providers, care managers and family members
  • care manager and patient communications in near real-time
  • new services and program design and management
  • Mobile Health the Medical Home applications
  • Coordination of care among your provider groups globally
  • Patient clinical trial and registry management and design
  • Integrate medical device and remote monitoring of patients
