Scott Samways, Director of Data Integration for Beth Israel Deaconess Care Organization (BIDCO) will present a keynote session highlighting how the value-based physician and hospital network successfully aligned clinical and IT teams to implement a population health platform with expanded capabilities to support the launch of innovative care management programs.

 

Samways will outline the seven key characteristics, capabilities and goals for BIDCO’s care management program and discuss how the organization is leveraging technology to develop, implement, and launch major initiatives to advance their population health platform, a data-driven, automated tool that leverages predictive analytics and impact scores to identify patients most likely to benefit from inclusion in their care programs. Samways will review recent advancements of the platform, including the ability to marry real time clinical, claims and, most recently, scheduling data; the launch of a risk navigation tool to better manage complex populations; and the launch of a desktop tool integrated with EHRs to provide an all-in-one comprehensive view of patient data for point-of-care improvements.

 

These advancements offer simple reporting and analysis and ensure thorough, consistent patient assessment and care planning. Automated workflows drive improved performance in care management and delivery, enable success in risk-based arrangements, and ultimately help BIDCO achieve value based care goals that improve quality and outcomes while reducing costs.
