athenahealth will be holding a live webinar regarding care coordination models on Thursday, October 18, 2012 at 12:15 pm. The webinar will discuss the risks, problems, and expense of traditional care coordination; a model that can boost efficiency and lower costs; why a sustainable model is necessary for improvement; and an overview of athenahealth’s unique, cloud-based approach to effective care coordination.

From new reimbursement models to Stage 2 Meaningful Use Requirements, health care demands better and more frequent sharing of patient information. But conventional approaches to care coordination have proven unsustainable and financially risky. Physician practices are forced to manage time-consuming work. Worse, errors within the process can compromise patient care.

athenahealth developed a beneficial, sustainable model for care coordination. It saves time, encourages participation, and effectively “closes the loop” on patient care. Join athenahealth for this webinar to learn more about their care coordination approaches.
