Our Mission<\/strong>– \u00a0 InterCase’s mission is to enable providers to decrease the cost of care through improved care coordination.\u00a0 We believe it is critical to improve care quality and patient engagement as\u00a0 well, but reduction in the cost of care (against trend) is our main objective<\/p>\n

Our Services<\/strong>– InterCase enables care delivery systems to improve coordination of care for high-risk patients and decrease utilization for the highest utilizers.\u00a0 We enable care coordination by deploying services (and supporting tool sets) that establish a plan of care for a patient and enable effective management against the plan.\u00a0 To be most effective, a plan of care must be viewable (any usually editable) by all providers who assist in management of the plan of care, irrespective of the location (or organization) of the provider.\u00a0 We have a particular interest in Medicaid patients.\u00a0 Medicaid costs are growing rapidly, and the opportunity to improve cost performance is large.\u00a0 The complexity of some Medicaid patients, the Health Home incentives under Section 2703 of the ACA and the broad array of providers handling any single Medicaid patient make this population particularly worthy of attention.<\/p>\n

Our Business Approach<\/strong> – Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) are on the rise.\u00a0 InterCase has developed a care management model that enables care delivery systems to accept risk for patients and decrease cost while maintaining or improving quality.\u00a0 Many delivery systems and technology vendors assume that providers (physicians in particular) must be in a single organization to accept risk and manage a patient population.\u00a0 InterCase works with multiple separate provider organizations<\/em><\/span> to coordinate management of a patient population against an integrated plan of care for each patient.\u00a0 Alignment of incentives is required but common organization ownership is not.\u00a0 InterCase personnel assist in risk stratification to identify the candidate population for focused management, and assist in identification of interventions and actions appropriate for each candidate.\u00a0 InterCase can implement coordination tools that manage the task queues for any physician, case manager, mid-level practitioner or even the patient or the patient’s family members<\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n

The Key Role of the Patient<\/strong>– Much of the value accrued to the health system is due to improved management of the patient role.\u00a0 Many patients are bewildered by their obligations in the plan of care and need assistance.\u00a0 InterCase helps with identification of the responsibilities of the patient and the patient’s family.\u00a0 InterCase also integrates the patient\/family tasks with the plan of care managed by the provider organizations.\u00a0 Just as care providers share a common plan of care, the patient and family are seeing the same plan of care that is viewed by providers<\/em><\/span>.\u00a0 Integrated plans of care are the key to reduction in the cost of care.<\/code><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
