athenahealth’s Health Plan Data Exchange Service Enables Data Exchange Between Providers and Health Plans
February 15 2017 - 8:00AM
athenahealth, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATHN), a leading provider of
network-enabled services and point-of-care mobile
applications for hospital and ambulatory clients
nationwide, today announced a new health plan data exchange service
which extends the company’s ability to drive performance for
providers and for health plans. With the new service, athenahealth
providers who exchange clinical data with payers for quality
management, risk adjustment, and performance management programs
will now be able to do so electronically, via a direct connection
to participating health plans and their technology partners.
athenahealth’s health plan data exchange service seamlessly
connects health plans and their technology partners to
athenahealth’s EHR, athenaClinicals®, digitizing what has
historically been a manual and laborious process. The
electronic exchange process looks to reduce the disruption to
providers of data requests and manual chart audits by health plans
while delivering clinical data to health plans in a standard
format.
“Electronic data exchange for health plans is another
demonstration of athenahealth’s vision to connect care across the
continuum, make information flow, and take on work for our
clients -- in this case, by reducing friction between health
plans and providers in clinical data and quality reporting,” said
Jonathan Bush, CEO, athenahealth. “After hearing from our
providers how disruptive manual chart audits are to their
practices, and how incomplete the data conveyed through this
process could be, athenahealth was inspired to leverage the power
of the network to help unbreak the data exchange process between
providers and health plans.”
The health plan data exchange service continues athenahealth’s
longstanding work with payer partners, which includes automating
and simplifying the medical billing process as part of
athenaCollector® revenue cycle management offering and, more
recently, managing populations under complex payment models with
athenahealth Population Health®.
athenahealth has already established connectivity with Inovalon,
Inc. as part of athenahealth’s health plan data exchange service,
automating the transfer of structured and unstructured clinical
data from athenaClinicals on behalf of athenahealth’s participating
clients (including provider groups and health systems) to Inovalon
on behalf of its health plan clients.
“Through our work with athenahealth, Inovalon’s cloud-based
modular analytics platform enables the access to more accurate and
complete clinical data and a more comprehensive application of
analytics to further support the transition from volume to value
for our health plan partners,” said Keith Dunleavy, M.D., chief
executive officer and chairman of the board, Inovalon.
