Facilitate Payer-Provider Collaboration Through Automated Exchange of Patient Information

Coordinating care for patients requires the seamless exchange of information and data between payers and healthcare providers—but exchanging data via manual means is costly, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and error-prone. Despite these drawbacks, traditionally, more than 100 million medical record requests healthcare providers receive each year are exchanged via manual methods, such as traditional paper or analog fax.1

Veradigm’s solution for Electronic Health Record (EHR) data extraction and analytics, eChart Integration and Analytics (formerly Integr8), can automate the extraction of clinical data and medical record information to make data exchange faster and more efficient. Standard chart retrieval processes may take several months; with eChart Integration and Analytics, chart retrieval generally takes a month or less.

eChart Integration and Analytics works with multiple leading EHR vendors in order to assist payers and providers in sharing data more efficiently. This facilitates the process of addressing quality measures and possible care gaps more completely and effectively. eChart Integration and Analytics facilitates payer-provider collaboration through the automated exchange of patient information, supporting providers in making more informed care decisions. eChart Integration and Analytics also improves the efficiency of payer-provider engagement initiatives and the confidence of gap closure efforts by adopting innovative data acquisition methodologies while incorporating additional data sets.

eChart Integration and Analytics can help your organization streamline connectivity efforts to various electronic health record (EHR) systems to provide:

  • Immediate connectivity to the Veradigm eChart Courier network of over 200,000 providers with multiple types of EHRs for chart retrieval services
  • Direct integration with EHRs for practices of interest
  • On-demand chart extraction across multiple EHRs without provider burden
  • Unification and standardization of data from multiple EHR sources
  • Transformation of clinical data into human readable and database-ready formats
  • Increased efficiency of payer-provider interactions through automatic information exchange
  • Faster, efficient electronic medical record retrieval
  • Reducing administrative burden for practices, labor costs for the payer, and turnaround time for all
  • More complete and effective support for gap closure efforts through EHR integration
  • Near real-time verification of medical records, reducing risk of Risk Adjustment Data Validation (RADV) Audits
  • Improved provider relations and minimization of provider burden through implementation of EHR integration, the least intrusive method of data collection

Share Patient Information in a Secure Encrypted Format

eChart Integration and Analytics utilizes the current standard for healthcare data exchange, HL7® FHIR® (Fast Health Interoperability Resources), enabling the seamless exchange of information with all FHIR-compliant EHRs. eChart Integration and Analytics also sends all patient information in an encrypted format to ensure data security.
