Improving Preventative Care Using Electronic Health Records

Prevention Participants | Care Management | Links

To fulfill our contract with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), HealthInsight continues promoting transformational change in physicians' offices to achieve more reliable delivery of preventive services and effective management of patients with chronic diseases through:

Supporting adoption, implementation, and effective use of electronic health records (EHR), in conjunction with patient care process redesign.

CMS promotes improving preventative care. The focus is on two cancer screening tasks (breast cancer and colorectal cancer), and two immunization tasks (influenza and pneumococcal).

Preventative care anticipates the probability of an individual developing a disease based on their individual risk factors. Prevention is any activity that reduces the burden of disease mortality or morbidity.

Who benefits from preventative care?

The individual patient
The clinician (and office staff)
The public in general

Keys to getting it done

Assess and improve workflow (patient specific workflows, population specific workflows)
Clinical decision support
Population care management
