Harmony Information Systems, Inc. (Harmony), the leader in integrated health and human services management, announced today that the Maui County Office on Aging has selected the Harmony for Care Transitions solution to manage the Community-based Care Transitions Program (CCTP) improving care transitions from the hospital to other settings and reducing readmissions for high-risk Medicare beneficiaries.
“I am thrilled to announce that the Maui County Office on Aging has joined the wave of CBOs using Harmony to operationalize their Medicare CCTP Grant,” said Joseph Sander, president and chief executive officer of Harmony. “Harmony for Care Transitions will help to improve the success of transitional care for high-risk Medicare patients an d to fulfill the overall mission to promote and protect the well-being of the older person in Maui County.”
The CCTP was launched in 2011 as part of the Affordable Care Act to improve transitions of Medicare beneficiaries from inpatient hospital setting to other care settings, reduce readmissions for high risk beneficiaries, and document measurable savings to the Medicare program. Under this program, 102 community-based organizations (CBOs) will use care transition services to effectively manage Medicare patients' transitions and improve their quality of care.
Harmony for Care Transitions is a purpose-built solution that enables CBOs to plan, track, manage and report on the services they provide and to provide a comprehensive view of consumers across all programs that serve them. Using Harmony for Care Transitions, CBOs can easily identify and track all care transitions episodes separate from other programs within one single database, eliminating siloes, using processes and workflows consistent with other programs. Harmony for Care Transitions tracks all required follow ups in a single database and provides powerful assessment tools to track how a consumer’s condition has changed during the episode and ensure that proper care is provided immediately to prevent hospital readmission, ultimately resulting in successful transition and maximized reimbursement.
