The Mdinsight software from Symphony Performance Healthcare will provide McLaren Physician Partners in Flint, MI with tools for population health management and referral management analytics

McLaren Physician Partners (MPP) in Flint, MI has selected Symphony Performance Healthcare, the Georgia-based company that provides information, analytics, and technological solutions for providers, insurance companies, and health networks, for population health management and referral management analytics.

MPP will utilize the MDinsight 7.0 software from Symphony Performance Healthcare. The MDinsight 7.0 suite measures physician and clinical staff performance and related patient outcomes, as well as concurrent monitoring and alerting of clinician workflow and care gaps, according to Symphony Performance Health. The software also facilitates outcome-recovery alerting and action plans, as well as risk-adjusted longitudinal EMR and claims-based, pre-built, and custom registries, benchmarking, and comparison groups.

MDinsight will be installed in a 222-physician MPP pilot program in the first quarter of 2015 before being rolled out to the organization’s full 3,000-physician membership. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, according to a news release.

Symphony Performance Healthcare offers an integrated suite of services, solutions, and technologies for physician practices designed to enhance the patient care experience, improve population health, reduce the cost of care, and increase provider compensation, according to the company’s website. The company can assist with Accountable Care Organizations, high-risk patient populations, measures of patient satisfaction, and Medicare reimbursement.

MPP is part of McLaren Health Care, which includes 12 hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, imaging centers, the state’s only proton therapy center, an employed primary care physician network, commercial and Medicaid HMOs, home healthcare and hospice, durable medical equipment, retail pharmacy services, and a wholly-owned medical malpractice insurance company. McLaren operates the state’s largest network of cancer centers and providers anchored by Karmanos Cancer Institute, one of only two National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers in the state. The operations and services of MHC are housed in over 300 facilities serving a 53-county market with a population in excess of 6.5 million lives.
