Healthix Improves Care Coordination with healthShare & Real-Time Clinical Alerts

Sponsored by
InterSystems

In every healthcare system, there is a profound tension between the need to protect the privacy of personal health information and the need to share it for better care. In New York State, health information exchanges such as Healthix, in the greater New York City area, must have written consent from patients before clinicians can access their information. Providers or facilities that share data with Healthix usually obtain consent during a patient’s visit. But what happens when the patient is admitted to an emergency department where he has not signed a Healthix consent form, and is unable to? What happens if he cannot convey critical information about his heart condition, for example?

The Healthix Essential Alerts program helps providers coordinate and deliver the best care while remaining compliant with privacy regulations. Healthix (the largest public health information exchange in the U.S.) uses InterSystems HealthShare® to gather and maintain a unified health record for more than 16 million individuals, share data with more than 600 healthcare organizations, connect more than 6,000 sites, and send more than 7 million Clinical Event Alerts per year to providers. InterSystems technology enables Healthix to continue improving care coordination and patient safety, while complying with privacy regulations.

Redefining Acute Behavioral Healthcare

Sponsored by
Vituity

This year, over four million people in the U.S. with behavioral health conditions — psychiatric, substance-related, or both — will enter an emergency department (ED) that is not prepared to properly treat them. This gap in care is causing widespread suffering while undermining the economics of our EDs.

ED teams know precisely what steps to follow when dealing with physical emergencies, but all too often that’s not the case with behavioral health emergencies. Most ED personnel are not sufficiently trained to effectively care with patients with behavioral health conditions.

In this paper, you will learn how an integrated approach to emergency psychiatric care empowers EDs to properly evaluate and treat behavioral health patients from the moment they enter the ED through discharge. Among the many benefits of this care model are:
•    Improved ED clinical quality
•    Increased hospital profitability
•    Optimized workflows and increased staff engagement
•    Greater community and patient trust
