Virginia Health System Implements Population Health Solution
By Julia Ernst, contributing writer
The system will allow Mary Washington Healthcare to improve the quality of care and reduce costs for over 3,000 employees who participate in the organization’s health plan.
Mary Washington Healthcare (MWHC) will utilize the Population Health solution from MedeAnalytics to improve quality of care and reduce costs for employees who participate in the organization’s self-insured health plan. The Population Health solution will aggregate and normalize disparate claims, digital records, and other clinical and financial data.
MWHC has just completed the final stages of the implementation of this system. The organization has uploaded employee data from the last three years into the MedeAnalytics platform and compressed the records into single encounters. MedeAnalytics has been working side-by-side with MWHC to train individuals to independently generate and pull reports for quality metrics.
