Innovaccer

Mercy Accountable Care Organization (ACO), one of the largest ACOs in the state of Iowa has selected Innovaccer Inc., a Silicon Valley-based healthcare analytics company to drive end-to-end value-based care initiatives statewide. As part of the selection, Mercy ACO will implement Innovaccer’s proprietary platform ‘Datashop’ which is an integrated data warehouse for all clinical, financial, lab, pharmacy, and immunization data and port data.  This will enable Mercy ACO to manage all of their shared savings contracts both on cost of care and quality of care. Risk stratification and predictive quality scoring modules will intelligently queue up patients for care coordinators to look after coupled with intuitive care plan management system to increase their efficiency in coordinating care.

Innovaccer’s population health management suite will help the ACO create impact at population scale by inculcating advanced analytics supporting contract performance tracking and quality reporting. Furthermore, through automated work queues and risk stratification, Innovaccer will be automating the care coordination process for the ACO staff to streamline the care management process and take care of a lot of the patient identification and stratification work that has to be done manually.

“Using its pre-built connectivity with the majority of the EMRs deployed, Datashop provides Hadoop-based data lake infrastructure for near real-time exchange of information. It’s a modular approach, with flexibility to scale at its core,” said Abhinav Shashank, CEO at Innovaccer. “This is an exciting, strategic relationship that leverages our deep experience in innovating big data applications in Healthcare. An interoperable population health management suite at Mercy ACO paves the way for a future-proof infrastructure with most advanced technologies being used to help manage patients without the hassles of last decade technology.”

Mercy ACO with these new capabilities will focus on expanding quality measures, value-based services, and advanced analytics to track and capitalize on care opportunities to treating complex chronic care patients. Innovaccer is also performing advanced analytics to improve Clinical Documentation Improvement processes with Mercy. The automated and centralized collection of data and intuitive dashboards ACO staff would be able to spend their time on analyzing the data and meeting the needs of the members, leading to better care management, and developing multiple use cases to improve outcomes, and drive shared savings for the entire ecosystem.

“InnovAccer has demonstrated a unique ability to aggregate and normalize data from multiple billing and clinical sources into an accessible data warehouse.  They worked with us to develop the user interfaces and analytics to fit our specific needs to report actionable information from the statewide level to the individual physician level.   Mercy ACO now has the data we need to clinically integrate and manage over 300,000 patients in value based contracts,” said Dr. David Swieskowski, President of Mercy ACO.
