Quality improvement in physician offices
Supporting primary care practices in delivering the right care to every person, every time
Oregon's primary care practices face increasing burdens in providing optimal health care to its growing senior population, particularly to individuals with one or more chronic conditions. Acumentra Health can help practices serve their patients more effectively and efficiently. Areas of assistance include
- making electronic health record (EHR) implementation decisions
- improving care management for patients with chronic illness
- beginning electronic data collection in preparation for pay-for-performance
- applying standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services that support effective delivery of health care to people of all cultures
Acumentra Health assists practices and health plans in improving care for patients with diabetes, coronary artery disease, hypertension, and heart failure, and in delivering preventive services to Medicare beneficiaries, including breast cancer screening and immunizations for influenza and pneumococcal disease.
