Encounter notification services connect payors, health systems, post-acute care facilities, health information exchanges and other healthcare organizations, providing notifications of important clinical events (including admissions, discharges, and transfers) and facilitating collaboration amongst members of the patients’ broader care team.
Common use cases for these vendors include: preventing unnecessary ED visits and readmissions; improved post-acute care transitions; better care utilization; and clinical decision support for controlled substance prescribing and dispensing.
