Magellan Health Announces DecisionPoint in Collaboration with Premier, Inc. - Seite 2

“Being one of the first to implement an enhanced CDS system is part of our goal to be the leader in healthcare transformation in Hawai‘i. It is our hope that this system will assist providers in delivering the most appropriate care, help streamline care delivery and ease provider workflow,” said Gerard Livaudais, M.D., vice president of Hawai‘i Health Partners. “This will ultimately enhance the patient experience, as well as the quality of care that our patients receive.”

The healthcare industry is in the midst of a significant paradigm shift as it transitions from fee-for service models to value-based care. As a technology-augmented service backed by the support of providers, DecisionPoint is designed to minimize the industry’s challenges by fully integrating with EHRs at the point of care to enable more timely, automated PAs.

“We look forward to working with Magellan and Hawai‘i Pacific Health to pilot this initiative,” said Scott Weingarten, M.D., chief executive officer of Stanson Health, a Premier Company. “Our approach to prior authorization will help ensure that patients receive real-time authorization decisions and evidence-based care whenever possible. We believe that this approach, using machine learning and AI algorithms, should improve patient experience, provider satisfaction, and the affordability of care.”

DecisionPoint, initially focused on Magellan’s advanced imaging studies, is expected to be available to additional providers in the fourth quarter of 2019 and will expand to additional product lines in the future. This will include further clinical decision-making capabilities to assist physicians and patients in optimizing the care plan.
