The American Hospital Association Endorses Provider Referral Management Solution from VIIAD
Chicago, Ill. (PRWEB) February 25, 2016 -- The American Hospital Association (AHA) today announced it has exclusively endorsed the Provider Referral Management Solution from VIIAD (Virtual Interactive Identification and Direction). Following a proprietary due diligence process, AHA Solutions, a division of Health Forum, the strategic business enterprise of the American Hospital Association (AHA), awards the AHA Endorsement to products and services that help member hospitals and health care organizations achieve operational excellence.
As hospitals move toward value-based care, they are integrating relationships and resources across sites to better coordinate care and give patients, employees and ACOs access to relevant services and specialties. VIIAD’s Provider Referral Management Solution enables hospitals and health systems to optimize and manage their expanding clinical workforce for improved care of their patient and community populations.
VIIAD’s cloud-based Compass engine facilitates cohesive referral management. It enables hospitals to enhance care by quickly accessing and referring patients to the appropriate care providers so patients receive treatment as soon as possible.
Providing real-time data accuracy, the platform stratifies providers according to insurance plan acceptance, specialty, availability or other tailored data, helping hospitals optimize clinical staff utilization. It also identifies clinicians based on patient needs and preferences for language(s) spoken, gender and proximity. Empowered with these provider choices — along with information on deductibles, copays and other patient-specific insurance status via a real-time “health ticket” virtual ID — patients can make informed decisions about their care. The platform also offers the capability for patients to select providers, make or reschedule appointments, and provide feedback that will be escalated to hospital staff for immediate attention.
The file-format-agnostic platform can integrate with any network or system, including electronic health record systems, patient portals, and claims and payment databases, and allows providers to upload patient records to the referral order to support insurance claims.
“We found VIIAD’s Provider Referral Management Solution stands out because it is well-proven in the health care field. Not only do 150 health care organizations including 22 hospitals use the solution, but these organizations have also demonstrated a retention rate of 95 to 98 percent over the last three years,” said Tim Steffl, chief operating & development officer, AHA Solutions. “In addition, unlike other solutions we reviewed, it can scale to handle any number of concurrent implementations.”
“At VIIAD, we understand the challenges our clients face both financially and administratively in their mission to provide accurate physician data, promote quality and attain better outcomes,” stated Donna Usiskin, VIIAD chief strategy officer. “We have been the leader for over a decade providing solutions that work efficiently and effectively resolving these challenging issues.”
“VIIAD is honored and proud to have received this very special recognition of our expertise and robust solutions by the AHA,” continued John Zubak, VIIAD CEO. “A designation as an AHA Endorsed solution is the highest compliment to an organization that focuses to always be the best in class, and proof that we have achieved that goal.”
