Syntellis Performance Solutions Launches Axiom™ Referral Patterns: A New Data Insights Solution to Drive Strategic Growth for Healthcare Organizations

Syntellis Performance Solutions Launches Axiom™ Referral Patterns

Syntellis Performance Solutions, the leading provider of enterprise performance management software, data and intelligence solutions, today announced the availability of Referral Patterns ― a robust module developed to identify referral leakage in a healthcare network. It is a powerful addition to the Axiom™ Market Opportunity Visualization solution designed to deliver executive-level insights and data intelligence to help healthcare leaders determine where, when, and how to grow through easy-to-use visualizations.

The Referral Patterns module leverages Syntellis’ proprietary All-Payer Claims Dataset which is critical to identify referral leakage in a hospital’s service area. The module is purposefully designed to align growth and retention strategies with a hospital or health system’s physicians. This makes it easier to map referrals to and from physicians within a service area for improved understanding of physician-specific referral patterns, patient interactions, facility loyalties and health system relationships.

“Healthcare leaders need intuitive solutions that provide them the information needed for strategic growth planning, but they are often faced with scarce and complex market data,” said Flint Brenton, CEO of Syntellis Performance Solutions. “Our latest Referral Patterns module ― as part of the Axiom Market Opportunity Visualization solution ― solves this. It is a turning point in our industry as it allows users to quickly transform data into actionable intelligence and insights.”

This new module also delivers a streamlined process to view patient cases performed and revenue generated by individual physicians and facilities, even providing breakdowns by care setting, provider specialty, facility, practice affiliation and zip code.

In addition to Referral Patterns, other interactive modules within the Axiom Market Visualization solution include:

  • Patient Origin & Out-Migration: an interactive claims visualization dashboard providing insights into where patients seek care, so healthcare finance leaders can identify growth opportunities and address out-migration

  • Market Share & Trending: which uses State-specific data to deliver critical intelligence on a market and patients’ behaviors, so users can identify trends and changes in market demographics, calculate one’s share in the market, and see trends in patient origin, payer mix, and service lines utilized

Future modules that will further help hospitals and health systems reduce costs and retain patients in their facilities include:

  • Share of Care: providing a way to visualize the patient care journey across the care continuum including details on all the facilities and physicians that the patient has seen both inside and outside of the organization

  • Profiles: equipping users with the ability to drill down into the data in a service area to develop an individual profile on a specific provider, facility, or procedure code to obtain more granular insights on physician and patient behavior

GBIN Launches eNautilus Project to Add New Oracle Health EHR Capabilities to Better Support Patient Care

PR Newswire | September 27, 2023

The Georgian Bay Information Network, a partnership of six Ontario healthcare organizations, is advancing its use of Oracle Health's electronic health records (EHR) by adding new capabilities for advanced clinical services, optimized medication administration, and oncology specialty support under its recently launched multi-year project called eNautilus. These additions are expected to help caregivers improve patient safety, enhance collaboration between caregivers across facilities, and reduce the administrative burden on clinicians across the GBIN's combined 15 hospitals. The GBIN includes Brightshores Health System Hanover & District Hospital (joined 2002), South Bruce Grey Health Centre (joined 2005), Muskoka Algonquin Health Care (joined 2015), Orillia Soldiers Memorial Hospital (joined 2016), and Almonte General Hospital (joined 2017), all of which use a common EHR to help streamline patient information. This collaboration has been essential to making GBIN one of the first multi-site organizations to have a single, shared health record to support patients across multiple sites in the region. Aligning GBIN organizations to the same technology helps increase productivity, enhance care coordination nearly anywhere the patient is treated, and improve patient care decisions. "Oracle's technology has been a game-changer in the way we deliver healthcare to patients and is a core pillar of our digital transformation," said Jamie Page, director, EMR Integration, GBIN. Its robust functionality has enabled us to scale EHR across our network while adding new functionality to meet the changing needs of our organizations. Now, we can create and maintain a single, portable health record that follows a patient as they visit various caregivers across our regions. This gives clinicians access to comprehensive patient information to better inform decisions and improve care coordination for patients. [Source: PR Newswire] The GBIN manages more than 610,000 outpatient visits and over 30,000 inpatient admissions per year though their 15 facilities, offering a wide range of services, including complex surgeries, total joint replacements, cancer treatment, laboratory, MRI and CT diagnostics, ambulatory care, and 24/7 emergency departments. New modules advance EHR capabilities By integrating new Oracle Health modules with the EHR, including computerized physician order entry and closed-loop medication reconciliation, clinicians within the GBIN can more quickly and easily enter medical orders electronically, which can help reduce the risk of handwritten order errors, streamline workflows, and lower costs. The new modules can also help increase patient safety by helping to ensure the correct medication and dosage is administered to the right patient at the right point of care. Using Oracle's Oncology EHR solutions, the GBIN is able to create a single, centralized patient record inclusive of all cancer treatment information to drive more personalized patient care. "We are working to help the clinicians within the GBIN deliver more personalized and effective care and treatment plans for their patients across their region," said Brian Sandager, vice president, Canada, Oracle Health. "By connecting this healthcare ecosystem, Oracle Health can help them provide better experiences and health care decisions for patients while reducing administrative functions and overall operating expenses."
