Webinar: How ProHealth Innovates in Population Health Management

For healthcare providers, it can be a challenge to effectively manage population health, and consistently measure and report its outcomes. Recently, ProHealth Care announced that it was the first healthcare system to use Epic’s data warehouse, Cogito, in a production environment. prohealth2Specifically, ProHealth implemented the data warehouse to help its physicians assess their entire population and target interventions as needed. From the Press Release.

ProHealth is using the data warehouse to converge data sources and create physician profiles, which allow physicians to easily see which of their patients are in need of important health screenings or care interventions.
“Our new physician-specific practice profiles represent a huge advance in our ability to both improve the care of individual patients and manage the health of the population we serve,” said Kathy Scott, Ph.D., ProHealth Care’s chief innovation officer.
The system provides profiles for more than 460 physicians in the ProHealth Solutions accountable care organization. ProHealth Solutions includes physicians employed by ProHealth Care as well as independent physicians.
Few ACOs and group practices are capable of producing individual, interactive reports of this type. The reports represent an important new tool for physicians as they track and manage the health of their patients.
