TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PointClickCare, a leading healthcare technology platform enabling meaningful care collaboration and real-time patient insights, today announced the launch of PAC Management for Health Plans. This offering expands the capabilities of the company’s HITRUST certified, award-winning PAC Management solution which includes the most expansive dataset for the post-acute care population. PAC Management for Health Plans is designed to connect health plans with post-acute partners to enable real-time collaboration and reduce the $6.7 billion problem of preventable rehospitalizations. Its availability brings PointClickCare’s real-time Care Collaboration Network full circle, enabling the company to unite hospitals, risk-bearing providers, and health plans with post-acute partners to facilitate meaningful collaboration, seamless transitions, and better post-discharge outcomes.
PointClickCare’s PAC Management suite of solutions is informed by the company’s leading Predictive Return to Hospital algorithm. This AI-augmented machine learning model enables care teams to more effectively collaborate, monitor, and manage patients throughout their care journey, ultimately leading to more timely care interventions.
“When stakeholders can monitor and manage patients throughout their care journey, they can significantly improve outcomes. Our PAC Management solution powerfully enables everyone involved in a patient’s healthcare journey to make the best care decisions, with timely and complete data. With our expanded PAC Management offering we are realizing our commitment to creating a world in which providers and plans can confidently deliver on frictionless care with actionable insights, helping to reduce unnecessary healthcare spend and positively impact the lives of millions,” said Brian Drozdowicz, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Acute & Payer at PointClickCare.
The company’s PAC Management solution has seen significant success with Health Systems and Accountable Care Organizations, and this next evolution is specifically built to address the critical gap caused by limited visibility during transitions between Health Plans and post-acute care providers. It meaningfully improves outcomes for high needs, post-acute populations while simultaneously revolutionizing network performance by providing critical insights to drive better decision-making and collaboration.
“With PAC Management, we’re able to look at length of stay and return to hospital trends for our network facilities in real-time. Not only are we able to show them how this affects their payment, but also how it impacts outcomes. Since implementing PAC Management in January 2024, we’ve seen a decrease with in-network costs and in-network and out-of-network readmissions, which has provided enormous value to our organization,” said Stephanie Hidalgo, Manager of Post-Acute Operation, Sentara Health.
From October 20-23, PointClickCare will showcase its newly expanded PAC Management solution at the HLTH 2024 Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada at Booth #3922. As part of its presence at this year’s conference, thought leaders from PointClickCare’s product team will be hosting a Tech Talk on “Illuminating the Black Hole of Post-Acute Care Data: Unifying Data from SNFs, ACOs, Health Systems, and Health Plans”. The presentation will take place on Monday, October 21 at 11:15 a.m. PT on the HLTH Show Floor (West Hall), and educate audiences on how PAC Management can improve organizations’ approach to healthcare and ensure a more informed care continuum.
Additionally, PointClickCare will be participating in an insightful session that recognizes how to successfully identify and implement ways to close gaps in transitions of care, with a specific focus on adverse patient events and reducing costs. The session: “Closing Time-Sensitive Gaps in Care – The next level of aggregating and sharing data” will take place on Sunday, October 20 at 11:30 a.m. PT on the Everest Stage.
