When it comes to measuring the prevalence of COVID-19, one term continues to come up: community spread. Communities across the country are looking to their local health systems for ways to keep people safe and healthy as cases continue to rise.
As a health system, offering a virtual care solution is really just the first step. By targeting specific populations you can take your virtual care strategy one step further. Segmentation helps direct more patients to your virtual care platform while increasing ROI and effectively helping your local community manage a COVID-19 outbreak. Sounds like a win-win to us.
But how do you effectively do this? Great question.
Enter: Population Management
This featuresallow you to easily segment and manage those unique populations of patients—like employees of your own health system, local employers, or universities in your area. That means you can connect with organizations in your area and reach a greater population of patients. Giving people access to an easy and affordable care option is pretty compelling in the midst of a pandemic.
Population management allows for more than just free or discounted visits to employer groups and universities. Here are some additional robust use cases:
- Real-time Eligibility Checking: Interface your platform with insurers via our clearinghouse partner to offer real-time eligibility checking.
- Payor ZipGroups: Integrate insurance information directly into your EMR to reduce redundancy, streamline processes, and optimize your virtual care platform.
Giving more people access to virtual visits means getting more people tested, and the more people tested the more cases that can be tracked to help limit spread.
We don’t know what the future holds in terms of COVID-19, but we do know that the Fabric platform can help health systems mitigate spread in their communities. We’re here to help and to partner with you. How can we help bring your virtual care to the next level? We want to hear from you.
