Announces Patent-Pending Extension of Aerial(TM) Platform to Automate Clinical and Financial Insight
WAYNE, PA--(Marketwired - Feb 24, 2014) - Medecision, the leader in connected care solutions for risk-bearing healthcare entities, announced today that executives from ApolloMed (Glendale, CA) and Baystate Health (Springfield, MA) will team with the Company at HIMSS 2014, February 23-27, to showcase their business and technology strategies to "Connect Care" -- in the pursuit of highest-quality population health management.
Medecision will demonstrate the Company's Aerial™ platform at HIMSS 2014 Booth #4665. The platform includes capabilities to drive insight and action within the healthcare ecosystem. With Aerial, risk-bearing healthcare organizations can measure performance, identify and stratify at-risk patient populations, manage workflow tasks, create care plans, and connect care providers, consumers and health plans to create personalized and high-quality experiences for consumer engagement and activation.
At HIMSS, the company will introduce and demonstrate a new, patent-pending interface which automates referrals and authorizations at the point of care, automating data and decisions from the EHR to and through health plans and back to the exam room. Currently deployed in the market, this access to bi-directional, real-time clinical and financial insight instantly informs the care team; saves physician, nursing and clerical time; and delights consumers with critical treatment and coverage information completed at the point of care during the office visit.
"As the industry moves to transform systems of care from episodic management to population health, Medecision is liberating health systems, physicians and consumers by delivering technology innovation with exemplary execution and expertise," said Deborah M. Gage, president and CEO, Medecision. "Our clients and business partners are progressive organizations that are committed to solving the legacy challenges of disconnected data silos, disengaged consumers and disenfranchised physicians. We are excited to be among the first to showcase use cases where advanced value-based care is defined and delivered."

At HIMSS14, Medecision will host leaders representing progressive organizations that are partnered with the Company to improve health and care within their communities. These industry-leading, innovative "Connectors" will present in Medecision Booth #4665 to highlight how they are leveraging Aerial across the care cycle in their organizations:
Meet the "Connectors"
At HIMSS, Medecision will also introduce further value in Connecting Care with the revelation of its patent-pending Aerial™ "Utilization Management Data Liberation Engine"--the only application to eliminate the waiting time, patient inconvenience and physician-required staffing associated with burdensome Utilization Management--preauthorization, referral and eligibility--processes. With the introduction of the engine, staff time and touch against UM processes are completely eliminated. Physicians can now order procedures from within the EHR, and the requests automatically loop through to the payer and, if approved, authorization comes back immediately.
