Massachusetts’ Leading Health Care System Enhances Digital Presence with ProviderMatch

Kyruus, a leading provider of cloud-based Patient Access and Referral Management Solutions, announced recently that Partners HealthCare has selected Kyruus ProviderMatch to power its Find-a-Physician tool. The solution will enable patients to more easily find the providers they seek across the Partners system.

At Partners, Kyruus’ ProviderMatch solution will be incorporated into a public-facing physician search tool that will enable patients to search and filter for Partners providers by specialty, location, insurance and other attributes. The new search capabilities will help showcase the unique depth and breadth of Partners’ clinical expertise and improve patient access.

“Partners HealthCare is committed to ensuring that patients are seen by the right provider within our system of hospitals and physician practices,” noted Sree Chaguturu, MD, Vice President for Population Health Management at Partners HealthCare. “Tools such as ProviderMatch from Kyruus will allow us to deliver on the critical first step of enhancing the accuracy of our data across our facilities. Meeting patient needs and preferences is the essential next step.”

The Kyruus platform takes a Big Data approach to analyze physician demographics, clinical expertise, accepted insurance and availability to rapidly identify providers who match a patient’s needs and preferences. HL7-based interfaces give clients the option to incorporate ProviderMatch into patient registration and scheduling workflows for streamlined appointment booking, improving patient access across all channels of patient engagement.
