| | Microsoft Amalga helps you proactively identify inpatient and Emergency Department (ED) patients at risk for readmissions to target action to avoid preventable readmissions, reduce costs, and deliver higher quality care today and tomorrow. |
| |
Background | With Medicare deadlines for readmissions improvements looming in 2012, it’s critical to be ready for addressing readmission risks today. Solutions that help you count last month’s readmissions are no longer sufficient. You need to know which patients in your hospital today are at risk for being readmitted within 30 days of discharge, so you can take action and address these risks before they walk out your door. Microsoft Amalga helps you proactively identify inpatient and Emergency Department (ED) patients at risk for readmissions and helps you take action to avoid preventable readmissions, reduce costs, and deliver higher quality care today and tomorrow. |
| Overview | By using predictive modeling technologies, Amalga helps you reduce preventable readmissions by enabling you to: | Effectively define and monitor patient groups across your enterprise. Use data collected in Amalga to predict readmission probability based on hospital experience and historical data. Proactively manage at-risk patients throughout their stay and at discharge. Assess patterns in key indicators to identify and address root causes of readmissions.
|
| Features & Benefits | With Amalga, you can: | Actively identify and track patient groups. Integrate disparate systems and then identify patient cohorts by key attributes and characteristics. Use predictive modeling technologies to help identify patients at risk for readmission. Analyze readmission patterns and monitor 30-day inpatient and 72-hour ED readmissions. See simplified reports so you can address root causes sooner.
