About Health Focus
Health Focus is a population health platform that supports physician and physician hospital organizations through clinical quality measures, identification of patient and population risk, tracking and analysis of patient cost of care, and providing a data interface for engaging with community resources to support care management programs.
These initiatives are supported through 100+ data interfaces that capture information from professional, facility and pharmacy claims; primary care physician EMRs; specialty surveillance registries; specialty care EMRs; state-wide ADTs (admission, discharge and transfer notifications); state-wide laboratories; and our own registry system.
Health Focus has been serving physicians for over 10 years and has been continuously updated to reflect current trends and requirements in the healthcare market. Our partner organizations help to identify and prioritize the features that drive their success.
Our continuous one-on-one engagement with each client helps to ensure that every opportunity, whether unique or collectively benefiting all of our partners, is addressed and supported through the Health Focus platform.
A Focus on Michigan
Health Focus was designed to meet the needs of physician organizations within Michigan. Our focus on a singular market means that we understand how to define success.
Health Plan Integration
We work closely with insurance companies and other stakeholders across the state to ensure accurate bi-directional data feeds. Health Focus analyzes claims, membership, risk, diagnosis and treatment opportunities directly from insurers. Information gathered from a patient's medical record can also be securely sent back to incentive programs to close gaps-in-care.
Michigan Health Information Network
We are proud to support the work of the Michigan Health Information Network. We actively engage in use cases and pilot activities on behalf of all our member organizations. From state-wide ADTs and labs to the PPQC supplemental data exchange, MiHIN is a critical partner in ensuring health information is safely and securely transferred to necessary recipients.
Local Communities
We live and work in Michigan. Supporting our local communities and collaborating with community resources and initiatives helps to improve the lives of our friends and families. We understand the nuances of our local healthcare market and work every day to improve physician satisfaction and clinical outcomes.
Services
Our job doesn't end once the interfaces are running and you're connected to our registry. We continue to support each organization in a close working relationship that responds to changing needs and unique opportunities. Our priorities are driven by the collective organizations that we serve.
Health Focus provides a robust population health platform. See below for some of our core features.
Data Warehouse
Capture, analyze, report and send data from 100+ different interfaces. We provide direct access for organizational reporting.
Health Focus Registry
Securely interact with performance, financial, care management, risk adjustment and reporting tools through a single platform that covers your entire patient population.
Master Patient Index
Our master patient index unifies patient records from across many different points of care. From the physician office to laboratory to emergency room we collapse records into a single patient view.
Measure Engine
Our custom-built measure engine allows us to quickly respond to changing incentives and best practice. We deploy measures that target your specific organizational priorities.
Risk Adjustment
Capture diagnosis opportunities to align risk to reality. Health Focus reviews historical diagnoses from primary, specialty and other acute environments to ensure relevant conditions are re-diagnosed each year. Our models review clinical and laboratory results to suggest possible diagnoses that haven't been billed.
Financial Engine
Health Focus cleans, condenses and categorizes insurance claims to highlight the cost of patient care. Risk-adjusted allocation allows for continuous review of targets and categorical expense. Review financial reports for all of your insurance products in one location and identify leakage, high-cost facilities and other opportunities.
Care Management
Identify eligible and high-risk patients for care management services. Risk scores are captured across health systems and calculated within our warehouse. Track social needs and internal referrals to community resources. Health Focus provides real-time progress for PDCM and other care management initiatives.
Data Exchange
Health Focus sends supplemental data files directly to insurance companies and through the Michigan Health Information Network as a part of the PPQC program. We help ensure that every partner understands every opportunity for every patient.
PO Collaboration
Physicians have helped shape Health Focus from the very beginning. Collaborate with us and our member organizations to help drive new features and see market change as opportunity instead of a burden. Our priorities are driven by the collective organizations that we serve.
