Childhood Obesity Preventer

This case study presents the PHM implementation story of Health Care for the Homeless (HCH), a Baltimore-based safety net provider.  HCH implemented Azara DRVS, a PHM solution that offers centralized data reporting and analytics for health centers and primary care associations.  Azara DRVS turns EHR data into reports for population health, chronic disease management, care planning, QI, risk and cost monitoring and regulatory compliance and reporting including UDS, Meaningful Use and PCMH.

The Missouri Quality Improvement Network (MOQuIN) undertook an initiative that aimed to help the state’s health centers adopt, implement, and use Health IT. As part of this initiative, population health management technology was implemented to help MOQuIN and their health centers mine and monitor their data, to identify drivers of performance as well as to test strategies for improvement. This case study describes their implementation experience, selection process and criteria, and lessons learned.  

Overvew: This case study looks at data validation and its role in implementing new analytics systems, such as Azara DRVS.
