Follow on Google News | Soren Technology Announces EHR For Accountable Care Organization (ACO)Soren Technology has announced plans to support several locally forming ACOs with the information backbone to share patient information and to provide the transparency required by this Medicare Shared Savings Program.
By: Soren Technology “To achieve this transparency and communication, you need a customizable product that allows you to share easily within your ACO, measure outcomes, define goals,” says Soren Technology CEO Dr. Faiz Fatteh.” ACOs will be tasked with providing their patient group a certain level of care, and will be rewarded if these measures are achieved. Requirements are still changing, but physicians who wish to stay independent of hospital ownership are coming together to explore this option. Soren Technology’s architecture has been designed for rapid adaptation for new requirements. On March 31, 2011, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), proposed new rules under the Affordable Care Act to help doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers better coordinate care for Medicare patients through Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). ACOs create incentives for health care providers to work together to treat an individual patient across care settings – including doctor’s offices, hospitals, and long-term care facilities. The Medicare Shared Savings Program will reward ACOs that lower growth in health care costs while meeting performance standards on quality of care and putting patients first. So doctors can join together to care for a pool of patients and control the costs of care, and benefit from the savings - it puts the control for patient care into the doctors hands by coordinating care and sharing health information with other doctors. Transparency is the key to sharing information and cost savings, and that is where Soren Technology comes in by providing the information backbone for the ACO with their Electronic Health Record system.
