DataLink’s EvokeSmartVisit Increases HCC Recapture Rate, Improves Healthcare Performance and Patient Outcomes for Large Network Provider Group

TAMPA, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–DataLink Software (DataLink), a leading provider of integrated population health applications and value-based care performance management solutions, documents the impact of EvokeSmartVisit (ESV) in a case study reflecting the experience of a large network provider group—300 provider practices, 800 clinicians with 300,000 patients. The network provider group chose ESV, a module within Evoke360, because it can be used at the point of care to document chronic conditions, close gaps and track wellness goals.

“The group utilized ESV to capture and manage patient data for health assessments, with results documenting a remarkable 7:1 ROI,” says Kevin Steele, chief executive officer, DataLink. “ESV enabled the group to achieve 80+% recapture rate, over 90% chronic hierarchical condition category (HCC) recapture and quality gap closure. The solution enabled the network provider group to identify and proactively close gaps in care, while also revalidating HCC data originally captured from the patient’s medical record and creating transparency in managing utilization for practices. ESV helps practices enhance care quality, improve patient engagement and impact individual health.”

EvokeSmartVisit can be utilized in a provider’s office, home or retail clinic and used with or without an EHR, eliminating documentation duplication in multiple platforms. Evoke360’s risk adjustment engine manages current, projected and suspected conditions and values. This helps to empower better health for value-based care initiatives by offering interoperability in a payer-agnostic, meaningful use-certified point-of-care solution. This solution is designed to facilitate new strategies and expanded payment models that are most likely to generate substantial savings and improve quality.

A full year of accumulating medical expenses is required to accurately determine HCC predictions for future healthcare utilization, making the correct assignment of HCCs critically important for Medicare Advantage (MA) plan providers.

“ESV has helped the network provider group’s practices increase opportunities for recapturing HCCs, greatly improving their ability to manage patients and ensure proper coding,” concludes Steele.
