New York Intellectual and Developmental Disability Care Coordination Organizations, Powered by MediSked Technology Solutions, to Deliver Health Home Care Management
New York State's seven Care Coordination Organizations (CCOs) for
Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities will begin providing health
home care management services on July 1, 2018. All seven CCOs have
selected MediSked's Care Coordination Suite to support over 100,000
lives across the state.
New York commenced a multi-year Medicaid Redesign Initiative in 2011 to
restructure the state's waiver programs to optimize enrollment, improve
quality, and reduce costs. As part of the Medicaid Redesign, New York is
undergoing a landmark transformation of the 1915 (c) waiver with the
largest HCBS expenditures in the country, as the state transitions
individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) to
the New York 1115 Medicaid Waiver. The July 1 milestone will shift
Medicaid Service Coordination (MSC (News - Alert)) from provider organizations to the
seven regional CCOs, new legal entities that were formed by current
providers of developmental disability services. The initiative, referred
to as "People First Care Coordination," is being led by The New York
State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) and
Department of Health (DOH). Under the new program, individuals will
receive an enhanced service offering to promote a truly person-centered
model of care and provide more integrated and comprehensive care across
the full scope of services, including all home and community-based
services (HCBS) as well as medical, mental, wellness, and behavioral
health services.
"The CCO transition demands new techniques for defining and measuring
quality, enhanced transparency for those receiving supports, and a more
efficient work flow to assist MSCs as they transform into Care
Managers," said Jay Nagy, CEO of Advance Care Alliance of NY, one of the
seven CCOs designated by New York State. "We are fortunate to have the
partnership of MediSked-a care management platform developed by and for
providers-to support the CCOs as we embark on such a monumental
undertaking."
The seven regional CCOs include Advance Care Alliance, Care Design,
LIFEPlan, Person-Centered Services, Prime Care, Southern Tier Connect,
and Tri-County Care. Each of the emerging organizations engaged with
MediSked in 2017 to provide consulting services as they underwent the
intensiv designation process, and have selected MediSked, LLC to
provide technology solutions and professional services to support
ongoing operations.
"It's an exciting time in New York. MediSked's Care Coordination Suite
will support the important work being done - these platforms will allow
us to better understand our populations and truly transform care
coordination for individuals with I/DD across the state," said Tracy
Boff, CEO of Prime Care Coordination.
MediSked's Care Coordination Suite is the only solution that has proven
experience in fulfilling the requirements of these groundbreaking
transitions. MediSked Coordinate - Care Management Platform was released
in 2013 and has been deployed across the United States. In 2014,
MediSked also deployed this solution to meet the care coordination,
interoperability, and business intelligence needs for Partners Health
Plan (PHP), the only Fully Integrated Duals Advantage for Individuals
with I/DD in the United States.
MediSked's Care Coordination Suite includes:
-
MediSked Coordinate - Care Management Platform, a
dedicated platform for managing service coordination and delivery.
MediSked Coordinate supports the varied requirements of OPWDD's Health
Home Care Management, including the management of the Life Plan, a
comprehensive, personalized plan that reflects an individual's goals
and needs and coordinates all of their services and supports in one
place. Coordinate also provides interactive tools for monitoring
health, wellness, outcomes, and transitions using integrated
assessment, care planning, and quality management and workflows that
drive consistent, timely, and compliant care delivery.
-
IAM Assessment, a fully integrated, person-centered assessment
utilized to synchronize goals, actions, health and safety
requirements, preferences, and supportive routines. IAM's mobile
capabilities support care managers in the field, and seamlessly
integrates with MediSked Coordinate to dynamically populate each
individual's Life Plan.
-
MediSked Portal - Person-Centered Portal, an interactive
web portal designed to empower individuals and promote collaboration
and choice. MediSked Portal is tailored specifically for the
individual, their circle of supports, and their interdisciplinary care
team, providing real-time access for users to view and share
information.
-
MediSked Connect Exchange - Multi-Agency Business Intelligence
Platform, a powerful data warehouse and analytics and
reporting engine. MediSked Connect Exchange is unique in its ability
to integrate disparate systems, expanding the breadth of available
data used to power traditional care coordination tools and workflows.
Leveraging the platform's powerful business intelligence engine, CCOs
will be able to better identify trends and support individuals and
populations, driving improvements to quality, performance, and
outcomes.
"These state-of-the-art solutions will drive operational efficiencies
and promote person-centered processes that will allow the CCOs to focus
more on improving quality and outcomes across the lifespan and
supporting and empowering the lives of the individuals they support,"
said Doug Golub, president of MediSked.
