Encounter Notifications
Critical, real-time patient updates.
Providers can reduce liability, avoid readmissions, prevent costs, and have greater patient satisfaction through real time notifications. Outcome Healthcare deploys a proven, extensive healthcare notification solution to deliver real-time, actionable patient data that unites care provider teams administering treatments and instructions to the same patient.
End-to-end support for compliant Encounter Notifications
The CMS Interoperability and Patient Access Rule requires hospitals to send e-notifications at the time of a patient’s admission, either immediately before or at the time of discharge, and when a patient transfer event occurs. The rule requires mandatory Notification compliance for Medicare and Medicaid participating hospitals by May 1, 2021. To comply with this mandate, healthcare entities require a standards-based notification system that works well with existing technology through standards-based integration, can be deployed quickly, and requires minimal investment.

- Rules-based routing to send HL7® messages directly to provider EHRs

Providers are able to create groups of patients that they want to receive encounter notifications on. They then build a custom set of rules to determine what will trigger a notification such as a patient getting admitted, discharged, or admitted to emergency. Finally, they choose how they will receive the alert; these alerts can be through email, direct secure email, receiving a notification on the Outcome HIE Platform, or simply having the original message that triggered the encounter notification forwarded to them.
