Tampa, FL – Kidney health management industry leader Healthmap Solutions Inc. (Healthmap) announced today that it has earned Population Health Management (PHM) in Health Plan Accreditation Prevalidation status from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) for its IT platform, Compass v6 and future versions of the Compass IT platform. The product was awarded under the standards year of 2019. Population Health Management Prevalidation is designed to help health plans and other organizations identify health IT solutions that alleviate or increase the efficiency of administrative tasks to meet Population Health Management requirements in Health Plan Accreditation.
According to Dr. Elizabeth Prence, Healthmap’s Chief Clinical Quality Officer, “We sought PHM prevalidation because population health aligns with our focus on providing individualized care recommendations based on a person’s risk and overall physical and psychosocial needs, rather than a standard approach for everyone with a certain condition. This approach provides higher quality and more cost-effective care. As evidenced by NCQA’s recent decision to transition their Disease Management accreditation and certification programs to Population Health prevalidation and accreditation programs, Healthmap’s decision puts us at the forefront of person-centered care models.”
Healthmap utilizes its proprietary Compass IT platform to apply its prevalidation analytics to a population of people who are chronically ill with kidney disease. Healthmap then utilizes its superior predictive analytics to provide oversight and collaboration with Nephrologists, Primary Care Physicians (PCPs), and other care management constituents to ensure all interactions are focused on improving a patient’s quality of care. Our predictive analytics identifies members likely to require long-term dialysis which allows Healthmap to guide them in the proactive exploration of renal replacement therapy alternatives prior to needing dialysis, resulting in a better quality of life for the member and improved outcomes at a lower cost. Our patient-centric approach results in Healthmap’s best in class Kidney Population Health management model which has resulted in clinical enhancements to slow the progress of kidney disease while also achieving increased savings.
“The Compass platform coupled with our multidiscipline Care Navigation team allows Healthmap to identify patients with chronic kidney disease and apply evidence-based guidelines at a patient specific level in order to address their physical, behavioral and social determinants of health needs at scale. The technology foundation of our program is a requirement when addressing a geographically distributed population receiving care from a fragmented delivery system,” said Andrew Wall, Healthmap President and Chief Operating Officer. “Healthmap’s clinical expertise and technology ensures that these patients receive preventative and proactive care that helps keep them out of the hospital.”
NCQA Population Health Management Prevalidation includes a rigorous evaluation of a submitted health IT solution’s functionality, including, but not limited to, reporting functions, report examples, screen shots, live demonstrations and other relevant documentation.
