BEDFORD, Mass., July 29 Casenet, Inc., a provider of
innovative care management solutions, today announced the release of the
newest version of its care management software. Version 3.0 offers fully
integrated population management tools designed for use by public and private
payers and wellness companies. Casenet's platform is a member-focused solution
that provides easy-to-use reporting tools and "always-on" availability while
offering true collaborative care by giving multi-disciplinary teams the
capability to consolidate member information into a single holistic view.
Member-centric, rather than case-centric, solutions are becoming an
increasingly valuable tool used by care management organizations. Many care
management solutions on the market today do not offer their case and disease
management tools in one integrated platform. Member-centric solutions enable
multi-disciplinary teams to simultaneously collaborate, coordinate and manage
personalized care for members.
"Most healthcare insurers face a host of challenges with their care
management system, including inflexible technology and fragmented,
disconnected legacy systems that don't support the sharing of information,"
said Joanne Galimi, research vice president, Gartner. "The need to share care
management information in real time among stakeholders and various
applications in a health insurer organization is increasingly a key
differentiator. Health insurers must adopt care management applications that
are able to interoperate within and outside of the payer organization to be
able to meet both current and future IT requirements."
Casenet version 3.0 incorporates a number of innovative features to its
integrated care management platform that will enhance care and streamline
workflow, specifically:
-- Graphically-based Reporting -- The easy-to-use "point, click, done"
report functionality provided in Casenet version 3.0 offers users a consistent
view of information and report generation across multi-disciplinary teams.
Staff can quickly identify key pieces of information on individuals or a
population of members without searching in disparate information systems.
User-friendly filtering tools allow users to efficiently sift through large
datasets pinpointing key data points/events. Graphical representation of
selected data is only one click away. For example, review of information
related to appeals and grievances, regardless of the program from which the
request was generated, can be reviewed for organizational compliance with
state and federal regulations. Report information produced is complete and
actionable, facilitating not only organizational reporting but also related
quality improvement initiatives.
-- Member-focused -- Casenet offers a fully integrated care management,
disease management and utilization management platform enabling users to work
on the same case at the same time. Because version 3.0 is focused on the
member or patient, not the case itself, caregivers have the ability to access
and update information on multiple cases at the same time. This allows for a
unique type of collaboration focused on the individual along the entire care
continuum. For example, a disease manager can be in a member's record
updating a care plan at the same time as the social worker is documenting
information while in the member's home and a utilization review nurse is
approving outpatient use of durable medical equipment.
-- Always available -- Version 3.0 enhances Casenet's TruMobil(TM)
solution that offers "always-on" availability providing users full application
functionality anywhere, anytime even without an Internet connection. Entries
are auto-synchronized and updated when the user reconnects. This is especially
useful for staff working in locations where an Internet connection is not
possible, such as hospital intensive care units, employer worksite clinics or
a member's home.
