Clinical Data Integration (CDI)

McKesson Health Solutions' Clinical Data Integration (CDI) solution enables health plans and providers to integrate clinical data into core processes such as medical management, performance management and provider reimbursement. Additionally, it also enables analysis of aggregated clinical data to establish provider performance trends and benchmarks.

Business Challenges:

• Redundant and uncoordinated care driven by lack of a horizontal view of member’s encounters across all provider encounters (e.g., redundant x-ray orders)
• Administrative burden on providers and payers to collect outcome and EBM compliance data for P4P programs
• Difficulty in propagating care intervention alerts and treatment opportunities to providers in a timely and secure fashion
• Accurate analysis and prediction of clinical trends for populations

Key Features:

• Web-based, real-time exchange of health information
• HIPAA-compliant, secure, encrypted transport of Protected Health Information (PHI)
• Integrated with 50+ leading EMRs and practice management systems
• Integration with Master Patient and Master Provider Indexes for accurate attribution
• Incorporates management tools to monitor and assure end point connectivity
• Analytics to convert aggregated clinical information to provider-level clinical performance trends

Key Benefits:

• Facilitates the promotion of new care delivery models such as Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH)
• Provides greater transparency into the care delivery process across disparate provider types, locations, and specialties
• Supports improved clinical decision-making through availability of complete, accurate patient information at the point-of-care
• Enables rapid deployment and adoption through off-the-shelf, non-disruptive integration of existing health information systems
• Reduces the administrative burden for data collection across multiple, geographically distributed providers
