Community-based health information exchanges can help provide this level of care by sharing and storing clinical patient data, ensuring the patient record is current, comprehensive, and available for all healthcare professionals at the point of care.
Sandlot Solutions currently provides the health information exchange (HIE) and quality analytics technology infrastructure to support the Pioneer ACO Model for North Texas Specialty Physicians (NTSP) and its more than 50,000 Medicare and Medicare Advantage patients.
