Refugio County Memorial Hospital Selects i2i Population Health

FRANKLIN, Tenn., May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- i2i Population Health is delivering on their commitment to helping create innovative population health solutions and services that improve quality outcomes, care coordination and consumer experience with their recent implementation at Refugio County Memorial Hospital in Refugio, TX.

For over 80 years, Refugio County Memorial Hospital (RCMH) has been serving the citizens of Refugio and surrounding communities. With five clinical care facilities, RCMH leverages healthcare technology platforms to support its quality and cost of care programs. In June 2020, RCMH executed a five-year engagement with i2i for the i2iTracks platform for purposes of quality program management and reporting, outreach tasking, and care coordination.  With a significant focus on quality standards, i2iTracks offer RCMH an expansive data analytics platform to customize and operationalize care and quality management programs.

Upon phase one implementation and go-live of the i2iTracks platform, RCMH was able to automate their Texas Medicaid section 1115 waiver to accomplish a seamless submission of quality data to the state. This was a manual, labor intensive process previously. "We (RCMH) have analyzed many other population health systems and business intelligence applications. i2iTracks is a phenomenal platform that has unlimited capabilities for critical access hospitals who are trying to manage multiple quality programs. i2i's integration with Cerner's CommunityWorks electronic health record system makes this an easy decision," stated Susan Parker, Chief Financial Officer.

Additionally, Refugio County Memorial Hospital will leverage hundreds of measures and registries within the i2i platform to:

• Automate three quality reports, 1115 Waver, DSRIP and Texas Department of State Health Services that were previously a manual process, resulting in nearly $200,000 of potential reimbursement back to the organization,
• Create custom program registries designed specifically to drive preventative care management for RCMH patients,
• Increase reimbursement levels with Medicaid managed care health plans under contract, and
• Have better visibility of the entire population across the community to enable better care.

This success comes as a result of i2i's strategic relationship with Cerner Corporation, a global health care technology company. The i2iTracks platform offers deep integration of Cerner's CommunityWorks^SM, cloud-based deployment of Cerner's EHR, allowing for a direct data exchange between i2i and Cerner to provide a robust population health platform to community, critical access and rural health care organizations.
