Technology available today can play a critical role in helping healthcare professionals combat the opioid epidemic and reduce the devastating human and economic impacts of the nationwide health emergency. In a new paper, “Changing the Course of the Opioid Epidemic: The Power and Promise of Proven Technology,” Paul Uhrig, Surescripts Chief Administrative, Legal and Privacy Officer, outlines how technology can address two challenges presented by the opioid epidemic: drug diversion or illegal use of prescription opioids and clinical appropriateness of opioids for patients with a true therapeutic need.

To manage the costs of Medicaid, states are increasingly interested in contracting with managed care organizations (MCOs) to deliver healthcare services to Medicaid beneficiaries. eHealth Initiative (eHI) and Foundation recently conducted interviews with executives from leading Medicaid MCOs to better gauge their progress in developing and implementing clinical data strategies.

Join eHI for a webinar featuring industry leaders who will review the results of the interviews and share real world examples of how MCOs are using clinical data to support their physician networks, manage risk, and improve their members’ care.

Our panel will discuss:
-Common sources of clinical data collected by MCOs
-Transitioning from a culture of claims data to a culture of clinical data
-The biggest challenges faced by MCOs in the collection, use, and exchange of clinical data
-The role that clinical data plays in value-based contracts and in managing performance risk of networks against value-based payment goals

Panelists:
-Gary Christensen, General Manager, States — Public Sector, InterSystems
-John A. Johnson, MD, MBA, FACP, Chief Medical Officer, Virginia Premier Health Plan, Inc.

eHealth Initiative conducted six interviews with executives from leading Medicaid Managed Care Organizations to better gauge MCOs’ progress in defining and implementing their clinical data strategies. Executives were asked about their organization’s main sources of clinical data; progress related to collecting, storing, and sharing clinical data; and about leveraging clinical data for various processes. Interviews revealed the ways clinical data is used in case management systems and value-based contracts with states and provider networks. Read the full report.
