Healthcare Quality and the Bottom Line Submitted by Sara Dyer, Inland Hospital
Like all businesses, healthcare is working diligently to become more efficient and effective – using best-practices to increase value with fewer resources. But we’re taking it to the next level, making transformational change that will save employers, employees, and the healthcare system big dollars.
Here is one interesting example of how improved coordination of care improves quality, saves costs and improves quality of life. Our primary care practices recently reported when comparing the first quarters of 2013 and 2014, they identified that they prevented more than 600 costly, unnecessary visits to the ER by helping patients manage their illness before it became an emergency. How? With the addition of nurse care coordinators to our primary care teams, patients receive more one-on-one support -whether it’s following up on medications, or helping them make their next doctor’s appointment after a hospital discharge - this increased communication makes a difference.
As part of EMHS, a statewide health organization, Inland Hospital in Waterville is taking a “Triple Aim Plus One” approach. It includes improving the patient experience (quality, safety, and satisfaction), improving the health of key populations, reducing costs, and With more insurers and payers basing increasing the satisfaction of those who payments on quality, health outcomes, provide care. and patient satisfaction, the healthcare Insurers like Anthem Blue Cross and delivery system is changing to focus on Blue Shield are also part of the new quality not quantity, value not volume. healthcare model and are establishing That’s why Inland Hospital is proud new partnerships.
