A partnership with the Baptist Health Accountable Care Organization (ACO), Baptist Health Care’s ACO located in Louisville, Kentucky, marks Care coordination platform PatientPing’s entry into Kentucky and southern Indiana.
The partnership will allow providers within Baptist Health’s network of hospitals, care centers, physician offices, and health facilities to monitor patient care events in real time to enhance patient outcomes and care coordination across the state.
Through the partnership, Baptist Health will have access to real-time notifications (Pings) from healthcare organizations within PatientPing’s national network, whenever and wherever patients receive care, and will also aim to provide critical patient context at the point of care (Stories) to help inform care decisions, a media release from PatientPing explains.
“As an ACO participating in risk-based arrangements, it is imperative that our providers are equipped with the resources they need to quickly and effectively collaborate with one another. With PatientPing, we’re excited to take the next step toward true interoperability and improve outcomes for our patient populations,” says Gerard Colman, CEO of Baptist Health.
Baptist Health’s rollout of PatientPing began in March of 2019 in its Louisville market. PatientPing will be rolled out in phases to the system’s other seven markets in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. The first phase will enable nurse care advisors with Baptist Health’s ACO to receive Pings on patients who receive care in emergency department settings.
“We’re excited to expand our national network into Kentucky and southern Indiana through our partnership with Baptist Health,” states Jay Desai, CEO of PatientPing, the release continues. “We’re proud that innovative ACOs, such as Baptist Health, have chosen PatientPing to assist them with intelligent electronic notifications and our care coordination platform to improve both patient and organizational outcomes.”
