| | Microsoft Amalga, Microsoft HealthVault, and Get Real InstantPHR can help you optimize patient care transitions by more effectively using and sharing data within your organization, with other care providers, and with your patients. |

Background | High hospital readmissions not only put your reputation for quality at stake, but also put your reimbursement dollars from Medicare and other payers in jeopardy. Improved care transitions can help reduce costly hospital readmissions. Proactively managing patients at risk for readmissions while they are within the walls of your hospital is a first step toward reducing the impact of readmissions. It’s also critical to continue to enable effective care and management of your patients once they leave your institution, whether it’s in community care settings or in the home. This means providing a complete and accurate discharge record to the physicians who will care for your patients once they have left the hospital and providing a clear care plan to your patients upon discharge. Microsoft Amalga, Microsoft HealthVault, and InstantPHR¹(IPHR) can help you optimize patient care transitions by more effectively using and sharing data within your organization, with other care providers, and with your patients. |
