MEDITECH Components of Population Health

The First Component - Patient Registries According to Health Data Management, “Population health organizations must have a tool to record and maintain the list of patients under their care. This can be a component of a master patient index, a separate database or a subset of an HIE or data warehouse. Absent a common patient identifier, the tool must possess strong patient record matching capabilities.”

How MEDITECH Qualifies A crucial part of managing populations is grouping patients and managing chronic diseases efficiently, with the goal of providing high quality, low cost care and reducing high cost inpatient and emergency department visits. Our Patient Registries, housed within our Web Ambulatory solution, are worklists that update in real time with information from across the continuum, allowing providers to examine different patient populations (Diabetes, Hypertension, Asthma, Wellness). From the Registry, users can access the patient’s singular health record, make orders, document, send messages to the patient’s portal, and much more.
