CLINICAL CARE AND COORDINATION ARE NOW BETTER THAN THEY HAVE EVER BEEN A robust Care Management Platform is the best strategy for an improved coordination, allowing the healthcare delivery system to eliminate redundancy, improve care quality, and cut excessive expenses related to fragmented care, all the while enhancing patients' perceptions about healthcare. The most prominent subject in the ACO debate is effective care coordination, which most healthcare organizations believe would revolutionize treatment outcomes and patient experience. Accountable Care Organizations' advocates think that Care Management for ACOs will enhance how medical practitioners collaborate and provide better care services, from collaboration within a single appointment to collaboration across locations and practitioners for high-risk patients.

METHODOLOGIES FOR CARE MANAGEMENT Care management Platform helps the collection of practices (including systems and applications) designed to assist individuals in managing their health and medical issues. This concept of care management incorporates aspects of case management and chronic condition management under the umbrella term care management. Importantly, Care Management Solution mostly necessitates practitioners engaging directly with patients. Self-management activities such as home health visits, patient engagement, medication management, follow-up care, health condition databases, management of chronic conditions, care plans, telecommunication for caregiver help lines, and wellness programs are examples of Care Management Solution. Interprofessional collaboration or care coordination refers to actions that integrate care across healthcare organizations, practitioners, and medical settings, such as facilitating communication between emergency departments and primary care or easing transitions between post-acute care facilities and hospitals.


Care Management for ACOS commonly involves information exchange and teamwork among clinicians, and it quite often involves numerous physicians at the same time, with the absolute objective of enhancing clinical outcomes and patient experience.

MINIMIZING EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS ACOs are now focusing on implementing a care management strategy that involves placing care managers in emergency departments. Following discharge, these care managers offered education and counseling to increase patient adherence to therapies or prescriptions, enabled follow-up with primary care clinics, and assisted patients in connecting with additional physicians or community programs. These are all new activities, according to ACOs, that emerged specifically from their participation in an ACO agreement. Primary care is the fundamental center of patient care since primary care teams established the foundation for care management. Numerous Accountable Care Organizations are now recruiting extra care management personnel, whereby each primary care clinic has one or more full-time care managers dealing with patients. The Care Management Platform serves as a centralized body for care management teams that are aligned with patients in order to achieve high performance and improved outcomes. These care teams have been recognized as the most frequent users of the Care Management Solution.
