KONZA announces partnership with SacValley MedShare to deploy next generation analytics built on health information exchange data
California based Health Information Exchange selects KONZA to provide analytics dashboard to better aggregate clinical data for coordination of patient care across facilities
CHICO, Calif., March 23, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- KONZA and SacValley MedShare announced a partnership to deliver analytic services derived from health information exchange data to hospitals and providers across the Northern and the North Central Valley of California. The analytic toolkit developed by KONZA will allow SacValley MedShare to aggregate near real time clinical data.
SacValley MedShare Executive Director, Elizabeth Steffen noted, "We looked at almost every analytic tool on the market. The KONZA Analytics Toolkit was the only one that could display the robust data stored in our health information exchange in easily understandable and configurable dashboards. This type of product is key to coordinating valuable patient care and promote healing and whole-person wellness."
The Analytics Toolkit that SacValley MedShare will soon utilize is specifically designed for use by organizations that participate in Health Information Exchanges. Organizations can look at data for all facilities the patient has been in an aggregate format. Among its many functions, the toolkit will be used to stratify high risk patients, identify 30-day readmission patterns, support opioid initiatives and identify access issues. Healthcare Providers will have the ability to track quality measure performance and improve population health initiatives.
"The data gathered by HIE's has advantages to the siloed and often outdated data from claims or the limited data from a single hospital, health system or physician practice." noted Russ Calicutt, Director of Business Development for KONZA. "To be successful in value- based payment models it is critical to have near real time data across the entire spectrum of providers that have interacted with a patient. The KONZA Analytics Toolkit in conjunction with HIE data can make this happen."
