  • Industry Stakeholders Applaud House Report Language on Patient Matching

     chime-logo-with-trademark  healthcare-leadership-council  ahima-logo himss-logo-tagline

    WASHINGTON, DC – October 5, 2016 – Nearly two dozen healthcare organizations today sent a letter encouraging House appropriators to advance legislative report language that could remove barriers to the Department of Health and Human Services engaging with the private sector to develop solutions ensuring that patients are accurately identified and matched to the correct medical record when they seek care.

    Inaccurate patient identification and errors in patient matching can lead to serious medical mistakes and are major barriers to improving the quality and efficiency of care across the continuum. House appropriators highlighted this challenge in report language accompanying the Fiscal 2017 Labor-HHS Appropriations Bill, labelling the “lack of a consistent patient data matching strategy” as one of the “most significant challenges” to safe and secure electronic health information exchange.

    HHS has for the past two decades been prohibited from using funds to promulgate a rule or standards around patient identification. Although the appropriations bill retains the ban on finalizing a rule around patient identification, clarifying HHS’s latitude to work with the private sector on a solution to patient matching would mark a significant step forward. The letter urges House and Senate Appropriators to ensure the report language accompanies future Labor-HHS Appropriations Bills.

    “We’ve made great progress in digitizing the nation’s healthcare system,” said CHIME President and CEO Russell Branzell. “But if we are going to improve patient safety and care from one provider setting to another, we must be able to ensure with 100 percent accuracy that we properly identify patients and match them to their records and not a different John Doe. The report language is a recognition that patients deserve to know that the information in their electronic health record (EHR) belongs to them and that it contains all relevant information necessary for informed clinical decision making.”

    “In a system that provides care to over 300 million Americans and handles billions of data transactions annually, no healthcare task is more important than matching patients with their correct health information. Public-private cooperation in carrying out a national strategy for accurately identifying patients will strengthen our healthcare system’s safety, quality, and cost-efficiency, ” said Healthcare Leadership Council President Mary R. Grealy.

    “Accurately matching health information to the correct patient is crucial to reducing potential patient safety risks and improving nationwide health information exchange. Allowing public-private collaboration will encourage an open discussion and help foster a solution that is cost-effective and scalable while ensuring that appropriate privacy controls are in place to protect patient privacy,” said Lynne Thomas Gordon, CEO, American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA).

    “The lack of a national strategy to ensure patients are accurately matched to their health information threatens to stall the great progress the healthcare community has made in leveraging information technology to drive improvements in care delivery and health outcomes for patients. In order to move forward, all parties must be at the table focused on developing solutions. This report language marks an important step by House Appropriators in making this possible,” said Carla Smith, Executive Vice President, HIMSS North America.

  • Avaap Acquires Falcon Consulting, Creating a Healthcare Powerhouse in Infor & Epic Technology Services

    Largest Infor Systems Integrator Expands Consulting, Software Solutions & Implementation Services

    EDISON, NJ & CHICAGO, IL – October 4, 2016 — Avaap, the largest Infor systems integrator, announced today it has acquired Falcon Consulting, LLC, a KLAS-leading Epic Systems implementation and optimization firm.

    With this acquisition, Avaap has put itself in the distinctive position of servicing the largest enterprise software needs for its healthcare customers. Avaap is strategically focused on Infor and helping healthcare organizations implement and maximize value in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) investments. Falcon offers consulting and evaluation related to Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, including revenue cycle optimization and clinical transformation, with offerings that netted the firm a top-rated 94.5 score in a 2016 KLAS research report.

    Getting more value out of EHR investments is the top priority for healthcare organizations, according to a recent survey of CHIME members. Despite EHR systems being widely adopted with meaningful use, optimizing the system to create sustainable value remains a key challenge. With continued provider consolidation, shifts in reimbursement orientated towards population health outcomes, and many healthcare organizations implementing ERP systems alongside EHR implementations, a single-source solution for clinical, financial and business applications will address integration and interoperability challenges.

    “We are pleased to announce the completion of the Falcon acquisition,” said Dhiraj Shah, president and CEO, Avaap. “This is a momentous milestone for our organization and one that combines two young companies sharing the same vision of providing industry-focused, outcome-driven solutions for healthcare customers. The synergies in values, culture, and dedication to customer success makes it feel like a perfect match between the organizations and will benefit customers in the form of innovation, expanded healthcare expertise, and enhanced customer experience. I am confident that our employees, customers, and the industry at large will benefit from the collective strength of Avaap and Falcon.”

    Falcon CEO Brendan Downing was excited to explore the possibilities of this new partnership; “Joining forces with Avaap will allow us to focus on driving better health quality outcomes and create financial stability for our clients while maintaining a unique work experience for our consultants. I truly am excited to invite customers and candidates alike to see that we’ve found a partner that truly wants to build ground-breaking new offerings that fully leverage the combined firm’s strengths.”
