Health Informatics, Technology Services and Programs

 
 
 

Our Healthcare Informatics and Technology Team helps providers in primary and specialty practices of all sizes achieve health information technology (HIT) goals in a framework set for future stages of meaningful EHR use, continuous quality improvement and payment reform. We offer our professional services to other healthcare organizations, as well, from hospitals to long-term care facilities. HealthTeamWorks’ proprietary EHR implementation approach helps organizations focus their planning, installation and use around the right processes, data and people. We prepare healthcare organizations for 21st century HIT transformation.

Our approach combines principles of the accountable care organization and the patient-centered medical home with best practices in EHR implementation. We keep a laser focus on the work flow, data and clinical content needed to support meaningful-use objectives so medical groups can quickly achieve multiple strategic needs. By embedding evidence-based guidelines and the chronic care model within a practice’s EHR and ensuring their tie to clinical quality measures, HealthTeamWorks’ Informatics group can set the stage for advanced health analytics, population health reporting and continuous, data-driven process improvement.

If desired, a HealthTeamWorks’ quality coach will continue to assist a practice after clinical system implementation. Ongoing coaching helps the organization establish quality programs for chronic care, prevention and clinical quality measures. This, in turn, can lead practices to NCQA recognition.
