A year ago, Sentara Health rebranded itself and launched One Sentara, an initiative to better unite its healthcare and health plan businesses to deliver a more cohesive customer experience. Technology plays a pivotal role. Sentara’s IT team has migrated most data center workloads to Microsoft Azure and is integrating disparate patient care and health plan data into an enterprise data platform (EDP) that provides the organization a 360-degree view of customers. That allows the Hampton Roads, Va.-based health system to personalize customer service in its call center and deploy predictive analytics to support early intervention strategies. It is also working to streamline (and, in some cases, automate) the prior-authorization process, which will speed delivery of care and reduce costs, says Sentara Health CIO Tim Skeen. | | |
The healthcare industry’s movement away from fee-for-service care models and toward value-based care has been an incredibly gradual process. Contracting in these arrangements remains difficult for providers and payers, and clinicians continue to struggle with the administrative burden that comes along with delivering value-based care. Three healthcare experts shared their thoughts on this issue last month during a panel discussion at the 3rd Annual Summit on the Future of Rural Health Care in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. | |  |

As the health care industry increasingly adopts value-based care (VBC) models, providers face the dual challenge of enhancing patient outcomes while controlling costs. To succeed in this environment, integrating health plan data — such as claims, enrollment and care gap information — into clinical and operational workflows is essential. By combining health plan data with traditional clinical information from electronic health records (EHRs), providers gain a comprehensive view of each patient’s health journey that neither source can provide individually. This broader perspective empowers providers to proactively address care gaps, improve patient engagement and streamline workflows, all of which are vital for meeting the demands of VBC. But how can providers effectively harness these data to truly transform patient care and operational efficiency? | | |
As healthcare reimbursement models shift towards value-based care (VBC), chief financial officers (CFOs) are increasingly at the forefront of managing the financial implications of these changes. Not only are CFOs instrumental in assessing and mitigating the risks associated with new contracting models, but they are also responsible for ensuring that their organizations can thrive in an environment where reimbursement is tied to quality and outcomes rather than the quantity of services provided. Our CFO clients are asking pointed questions like how can they leverage additional insights and advanced analytics to make informed decisions that drive success under these new models? How can advanced analytics and data insights help CFOs monitor and optimize their organization’s performance under alternative payment arrangements? And ultimately, how can these insights empower CFOs to lead their organizations through the transition to value-based care with confidence and precision? | | |
