Implementing New Technology in Healthcare is Easy
Onboarding, Training & Support
With more than a decade of connecting providers to specialists, AristaMD knows that success starts with a clear process. That’s why our sales and client experience teams work closely with the practice to understand the current referral process. The goal is to incorporate our platform into the existing clinical workflows with minimal disruption.
Seamlessly Implementing New Technology in Healthcare
Establishing a shared understanding of the challenges the AristaMD platform can address and the program’s goals is essential. Partnering with key stakeholders, the AristaMD team will evaluate existing processes, provide recommendations on implementation, and coordinate access, training and ongoing program evaluation.
Whether using our web-based standalone application, referral nurse navigation services, or connecting to your EHR, the process is the same. AristaMD’s eConsult and referral management solutions do not require additional tools or technology — no video, fax machine, or EHR integration. Our web-based application is secure and HIPAA-compliant. That means less work for you and your team.
What Do Providers Need to Succeed in Value-based Payment Models?
Care coordination tools
There is a growing need for care coordination across multiple provider settings, especially among primary care practices. As many practices move towards value-based care arrangements, care coordination becomes critical for effective patient care. One way to achieve coordinated care is through the use of referral management tools and eConsults. These tools have been proven to effectively manage care transitions and ensure patients receive the appropriate care.
Before we dive into the benefits of referral management tools and eConsults, it is important to understand why implementing new technology in healthcare improves care coordination. Between hospital stays, primary care visits, specialist appointments, and other healthcare-related services, patients may be seen by multiple providers. Each provider may have different goals and be unaware of what the other providers do. This lack of coordination can lead to the following:
- Fragmented care that drives up costs.
- Requests for unnecessary or duplicate imaging lab work and tests.
- Delayed care that delivers poor outcomes for the patient.
When care coordination fails, the cost to the US healthcare industry is more than $27.2 billion. To avoid this, healthcare providers must work as a team and communicate effectively to provide optimal patient care.
