AnMed Chooses

On January 31, 2023, AnMed has chosen XSOLIS, the artificial intelligence company supporting healthcare systems, to remodel its utilization management across its health systems.

The XSOLIS' CORTEX platform will share real-time clinical data across its connected network of providers and players. Due to the shortage of nursing staff and increased number of patients, a technology solution would provide accurate patient status from the beginning to minimize rejections and associated interactions with payers.

XSOLIS will centralize AnMed's operations, track work over its three hospitals, and connect its Physician Advisor and Utilization Management teams. In addition, CORTEX's advanced case management analytics and reporting efficiencies with AnMed's electronic medical record system will enhance the leverage time of the hospital systems.

Associate Vice President of Population Health at AnMed, Suzanne Wilson, said, "When evaluating next-generation utilization management platforms, XSOLIS was in a league of its own. The healthcare industry has reached a tipping point, where improved provider-payer relations are imperative to reduce administrative waste and unnecessary friction. XSOLIS will help us achieve just that through its innovative technology."

Chief Financial Officer at AnMed, Christine Pearson, said, "This is a challenging time for provider organizations across the U.S. By providing an automated, objective view of medical necessity, XSOLIS will help increase the efficiency of our existing staff so that we can better serve our patients."

We're looking forward to helping AnMed transform their operations to work more efficiently internally, as well as with payer organizations."

CipherHealth and SADA Collaborate to Improve Patient Care Via Looker

CipherHealth | January 06, 2023

CipherHealth, a leader in patient engagement technology and communication solutions, recently teamed up with SADA, an award-winning Google Cloud Partner, to use Google Cloud's Looker to collect socioeconomic data to improve patient care. With this new feature, CipherHealth aims to empower healthcare leaders by enabling them to collect large volumes of data and assist patients and medical professionals at each point of the care journey. Earlier, CipherHealth's platform gave doctors and nurses complete conversational and clinical information about each patient. It worked with SADA, a company that knows how to set up and run Google Cloud's analytics platform Looker, to add self-service analytics to the platform and make it more useful. With the help of Looker Embedded Analytics, CipherHealth has made it easier for its clients to access this data for analysis and visualization at any time during the patient's life. As a result of the partnership, CipherHealth's clients, which include 500 hospitals across the country, will now have access to patient data about social determinants of health (SDOH). Also, they can use in-built analytics to divide patient groups and send personalized messages to each of them separately. With this information, CipherHealth's clients can zero in on a specific patient and find out what kind of treatment they need, along with any special accommodations (like if they have trouble making appointments). CipherHealth is HIPAA-compliant, meaning it may safely analyze and transfer clients' protected health information (PHI) over the internet. The company believes combining SADA with Google Cloud can give its clients a new view of their patient populations. It will also allow the company to make changes to its care delivery that are good for patients. In line with this, SADA said that the integration of Looker from Google Cloud improves the patient experience for CipherHealth and its clients. About CipherHealth CipherHealth is a proven technology solutions partner dedicated to improving patient communication and care. Since 2009, the company has helped build the market for patient engagement by making innovative tools that help providers give excellent care. The range of patient engagement programs from CipherHealth sets new standards for care and provides healthcare businesses with the tools they need to have meaningful conversations with their patients.
