Pioneer in Pediatric Population Health Management Shares Best Practice Approaches to Improving Outcomes at HIMSS15

ATLANTA, April 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

WHAT:           
Children's Health Alliance (CHA), an award-winning pioneer in pediatric population health management (PHM), will share how it is operationalizing its innovative, community-wide solution for improving pediatric outcomes using Wellcentive's technology at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society's Annual Conference & Exhibition (HIMSS15) in Chicago. Demonstrations of CHA's solution for population health management are available at the Wellcentive booth 8739.

PRESENTATON TIME/PLACE: 
Monday, April 13, 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. CT, Room W196C, McCormick Place, Chicago.

TOPIC:
CHA's Deborah Rumsey, executive director, and Julie Harris, director of quality programs, will outline the pediatric group's quality improvement journey in a presentation titled Pediatricians Pioneer Population Healthcare Approaches. Topics include:

• Drivers for physician-led, office-based care management
• Program design for a community-wide population health solution
• Demonstrating value to physicians, families and other community stakeholders
• Methodologies for assessing the level of support patients need from their care team
• Operationalizing a technology-driven, community-wide population health solution

CHA will share the specific, measurable results of its efforts, as well as how technology is bringing its quality program to life—activating data to provide insights, enable workflows and enhance management of high-risk populations.

WHY:             
Few topics are more important for providers today than implementing programs and solutions to accelerate the transformation necessary to prosper in the new world of value-based care. CHA's perspective on this topic is of particular interest since robust systems and models for population health management have not been standardized in pediatrics. Much of the effort nationwide in developing those models and methods has focused on adult populations and fails to take into account the unique developmental needs of children and their families.

INTERVIEW OPPORTUNITIES: 
Julie Harris, Director of Quality Programs, and Deborah Rumsey, Executive Director, Children's Health Alliance and Children's Health Foundation. Interviews can be arranged post HIMSS15.
