What if giving was a constant part of your population health approach? ?? We worked with Unite Us and Community Care of North Carolina to bring you the #SDOH resource you didn't know could exist to help you do just that. From us three leaders in #care, here is an interactive, team-friendly "Integrated SDOH Workbook". ?? https://lnkd.in/g2Cz5gYu ?? - Download and use in Adobe OR print it offline and write in whatever pen you like - Use it alone, with teams, and as part of your 2025 planning meetings - Use it to help you gut-check your existing approach to SDOH - Take advantage of included tips, real-world examples, and resources ?? Just a little way for all three of us to give something back to #healthcare this year.

A recent article highlighting a push by #NAACOS to have #CMS extend the ACO REACH Model highlights some key focus areas for ACOs going into 2025. Looking at the changing healthcare landscape over the next four years, which of the below are top concerns for accountable care organizations to be proactive about for 2025?

Many healthcare payers are still struggling with coordinated care. Data from Beckers Healthcare earlier this year found that disconnections with providers, interoperability challenges, and a lack of communication and visibility are contributing factors. “It’s not surprising to see such a high prevalence of payers struggling to successfully execute coordinated care,” said Sue Powers, Chief Growth Officer at VirtualHealth. “This is often one of the concerns payers come to us with when evaluating care management platforms, and we usually see several barriers that are preventing true care collaboration. The most common barriers we see to coordinated care include 1?? communication barriers between payers and providers; 2?? disparate systems and data formats that create silos of information; 3?? lack of active patient engagement; 4?? gaps in the proactive whole-person care approach — specifically those related to social determinants of health; and 5?? poorly constructed workflows. And what makes coordinated care more challenging is that all these are connected. You can’t create better communications across the care continuum or properly identify health-related social issues if data isn’t transparently centralized and shared. And you cannot engage members in their health without them in a timely fashion, which is created by leveraging intelligent streamlined workflows.”

Many Millennials are putting their health on the back burner. VirtualHealth's Director of Solutions Architecture, and resident FHIR expert, Huthaifa Khan shares his own experience with HL7's Daniel Bach and explains how seamless healthcare interoperability enabled him to bring his health and well-being into focus and off the back burner, as a prime example of the role #FHIR will play for today's generations with health literacy and health care service usage. #healthliteracy #healthcare #Millennial #FHIR

As data from the Beckers Healthcare survey of payers earlier this year shows: payers' lack of interoperability is critical to address ASAP since it offers the ability to drive seamless collaboration and communication and support the recent CMS-0057-F requirements around prior authorization, specifically the APIs and simple, secure data exchange. ??

Just concluded our inaugural class on the 'Economics of FHIR' at Health Level Seven International. A special thanks to Huthaifa Khan of VirtualHealth for providing real-world examples on numerous FHIR implementations he's seen throughout his interoperability career. ?? Participants who attended 'Economics of #FHIR' were taught how FHIR can drive innovation, improve healthcare data exchange, and reduce operational costs across the healthcare ecosystem. ?? They learned how to analyze the financial implications of adopting #FHIR, even without technical expertise, by leveraging systems thinking frameworks and real-world case studies. ?? By the end of the course, they gained the ability to make informed decisions on #FHIR , advocating effectively within their organizations for FHIR-based solutions. The course is now available on Health Level Seven International's Education on Demand Portal: https://lnkd.in/exatEpir Also a special thanks to all who attended! The wisdom of the ancient saying 'I have learned much from my teachers, more from my colleagues and most from my students' still rings true. #healthtech #interoperability #HL7 #healthcare #innovation #economics

Learn how #FHIR can help open the doors to better #healthcare in the most recent WEDI podcast with VirtualHealth's Huthaifa Khan and WEDI's Michael McNutt. These two discuss the emergence and rapid adoption of the FHIR standard in the healthcare data exchange, implementation stories, and FHIR's potential future in the industry. ??? https://lnkd.in/e8WmtHxB
