In addition, MEDITECH’s presentation, “Make Population Health a Reality: Effective Care Transitions,” will take place on March 2nd from 1:45 – 2:15 p.m. in the Population Health Knowledge Center.

Co-presenting with MEDITECH is Dr. Michael Fletcher, MD, MBA, FHM, FACP, and CMO at Hancock Regional Hospital (Greenfield, IN) — a MEDITECH customer and 2015 Most Wired recipient. Dr. Fletcher will share his experience and expertise on the essential role that care transitions play in improving outcomes for patients, payors, and providers.

MEDITECH’s single platform system for population health helps organizations manage and transition patients across all care settings, providing effective care coordination and a better patient experience. MEDITECH’s Web EHR includes the following tools and features:

• Actionable registries to manage chronic diseases and reduce avoidable emergency department visits and hospitalizations.
• Easily identify at-risk patients for specific conditions, and setting them on the path to prevention by promoting wellness and healthy lifestyles.
• Care Management tools to effectively manage patients post-discharge, ensuring medication and care plan compliance.
• Remote monitoring of patient-generated health data to identify changes in conditions which might put a patient at risk of readmission.
• Clinically sophisticated surveillance algorithms that provide early warning detection of possible hospital-acquired infections to improve outcomes.
• A single patient portal across the continuum that engages and empowers patients in their care, making patients part of their care team, and ultimately enhancing the patient experience.
• Analytics to provide observation and insight into your health system, identifying the effectiveness of your care delivery and opportunity for growth and improvement.
