VIDEO: Software platform may improve care efficiency

SANTA CLARA, CALIF. – Electronic health records are everywhere, but how can a health system best use all the data that it collects?

Software platforms are emerging to organize and analyze the data for population health management. One new system from the company Acupera has been implemented in St. Vincent Health, an 18-hospital system in Indiana that’s part of Ascension Health, based in St. Louis.

The computerized platform led to a sixfold improvement in the efficiency of care managers, increasing their case loads from 14 patients to more than 85 patients per week, says Dr. Ronald Razmi, a former cardiologist who founded and serves as chief executive officer of San Francisco-based Acupera.

In a video interview at the Health 2.0 fall conference 2014, he described the platform, how it works, and how it could improve health outcomes.
