Ten Tips for Accountable Care Success

2. That’s right. It’s time to retool. To prepare.
Healthcare is changing and it’s changing fast. A cosmic
shift from fee-for-service to an entirely new holistic, pay-for-
performance delivery model. It’s a journey we are all taking
together. With patient centered medical homes (PCMHs)
and accountable care organizations (ACOs) fast becoming
the direct routes to success. Maybe too fast. Maybe not fast
enough. Either way, NextGen Healthcare is a seasoned HIT
partner who can help you successfully on your way to ACO.

3. We’re taking this
ACO journey together.
No need to worry about how to deliver
and demonstrate collaborative, accountable
care. NextGen Healthcare has already
been there, doing that. In fact, as of 2013,
we already have about 120 ACO clients
across the country. And over 30% of PCMH
certified practices. So our solutions work.
Add that to a combination of 20 years of
NextGen Healthcare expertise, clinician
input, and our clients’ experiences.
These connections and knowledge result
in better health, outcomes, and revenue.
So here are a few tips to help you
along the way:

9. Engage your patients more effectively.
Make healthy outcomes contagious among
your entire patient panel. Improve the patient
experience. Make it easy and convenient for them.
Access is a key criterion for PCMH and ACO.
So give it to them. Anytime, anywhere.

Connect, collaborate, and coordinate care.

11. With patients, colleagues, and across
your community’s care landscape.
While you focus on providing quality care,
let the technology experts manage
the technology. Avoid a loose patchwork
of interfaced databases that results in
isolated and uncoordinated care.

12. 5

Improve clinical workflow
and efficiency.

13. And do it throughout all locations, across the continuum
of care. Efficient workflows are key elements
in achieving both accountable care and positive
operational results. You need an intelligent EHR
that provides a simpler, smarter, and faster workflow.

Strengthen your bottom line.

15. Increase revenue and
grow your bottom line
with solutions that accelerate
cash flow and reduce A/R
days, claims denials, and bad
debt. When you produce
cleaner claims and uncontested
payer remittances, you’ll see
better financial results.

Implement the foundations
for Health Reform.

17. Be ready for ICD-10, pay-for-performance, Meaningful Use
(MU) stage 2, enhanced quality measures, and other
Health Reform initiatives. Proactive automation
saves time, money, and resources by reducing denials and
through synchronized digital patient statements,
claims, reimbursements, and appointments.
