Phytel, a leading provider of solutions that automate the patient follow-up process, today announced that Holy Family Memorial, a comprehensive health care network and the largest provider of healthcare services in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, has selected its Proactive Patient Outreach product. The health network plans to implement the technology by mid-March.
Through the use of Proactive Patient Outreach, the 65-provider, multi-specialty group will automate the follow up process for its patient population, specifically patients with chronic conditions and those in need of preventative care services. This is accomplished using evidence-based disease management and preventive care protocols to identify patients that are overdue for service. Patients are notified through automated outreach messaging when they are due for recommended care. Proactive Patient Outreach will also enable Holy Family Memorial to track patient response and monitor compliance.
“Our focus is on high quality care and this technology allows us to reach those patients who are most in need of that care,” said Marcia Donlon, Administrative Director – Quality of Care for Holy Family Memorial. “We are eager to begin using Proactive Patient Outreach, and excited to see the impact it has on our patients and our practice.”
“We are thrilled that Holy Family Memorial has selected Phytel,” said Neil Smiley, president and CEO of Phytel. “Proactive Patient Outreach will not only benefit the group’s patients, but it has been our experience that improved patient and disease management also leads to financial improvement.”
Phytel’s Proactive Patient Outreach product integrates with existing technology - including practice management and electronic medical record systems - and incorporates prescription, lab, and other clinical data. This allows healthcare organizations to develop and maintain a health and disease management patient registry for its entire patient population. Based on an application service provider (ASP) model, the solution requires no additional equipment and is available through a monthly subscription fee.
