Massachusetts-based Harvard Pilgrim Health Care will provide physicians point-of-care health analytics through Quest Diagnostics and Inovalon in an effort to close care gaps and improve health outcomes for patients.
The health analytics technology, Data Diagnostics, will be accessible through a physician's EHR. It provides patient-specific reports to inform clinical decisions, diagnostic coding and other actions affecting quality of care and reimbursement.
Physicians can order the reports for eligible Harvard Pilgrim patients in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. Minimal training and no new technology are required to order the patient reports.
