Talking about death is never easy. Whether it’s a child engaging with a parent about end-of-life wishes, or a clinician approaching a patient about his end-of-life care options, the conversation is difficult to approach. Informed, timely and compassionate conversations are key to ensuring patients receive the right care at the right time. A Nashville analytics company has built an analytics-based technology, Medalogix Bridge, that uses EMR data to identify which patients could most benefit from hospice care. The Bridge system also has a workflow component that helps the care team collaborate and discuss care options with each other, and if appropriate, with patients and family members. In this session, you’ll hear how the system was developed and how one provider is using the solution to improve end-of-life care.
