Premier healthcare alliance, a Perficient client and a project I spent over a year working on has just launched a massive virtual care portal for their members. PremierConnect is a member facing portal that allows healthcare professionals to collaborate, connect, share, and react to data and actionable activities within one space. It brings together clinical data, purchasing information, outcome date to create a ‘total cost of care’ view that has yet to be seen in the marketplace. Here is what the CEO of Catholic Healthcare has to say:
Health systems today need an integrated look into utilization, costs, efficiency and quality,” Michael D. Connelly, CEO of Catholic Health Partners, said in a statement. “With this information, we can further build out the predictive capabilities that will help us find opportunities and enact corrective actions before they affect patients.”
I came across this graphic from a colleague, Michael Porter which came from a PwC report on healthcare and social.
Honestly, who wouldn’t want a space where your doctor could collaborate with other like-minded colleagues on treatment to maximize the outcome? Well, soon enough, if docs want to get paid they have to figure out how to do this – its call Accountable Care. In reality, its a double standard that we wouldn’t want to have doctors collaborate when over 70% of patients use a web tool to pre/post diagnose prior or post clinic visit.
Premier is transforming how healthcare is delivered and how outcomes are defined as a success. PremierConnect is just a lens into a much larger way to modernize healthcare delivery.
