Vynca and Intermountain Healthcare Partner to Prioritize and Digitize Advance Care Planning
Intermountain has been at the leading edge of healthcare systems identifying evidence-based innovations to achieve the Triple Aim – improving experience of care, health of populations and reducing per capita costs. As such, they recognized that improving end-of-life care quality and reducing unwanted healthcare interventions required a new solution with the digital data capabilities to define and track success. Intermountain is able to transform the process of advance care planning by integrating Vynca's end-to-end solution with the health system's existing clinical workflow and their Cerner electronic health record (EHR) , who is also a Vynca partner. The collaboration enables customized outreach to patients, shared decision making to digitally complete documents and ensures documents are available to clinicians, patients and their selected caregivers.
"We are grateful to collaborate with an innovative health system like Intermountain to support providers and patients through the advance care planning process," said
A lack of clarity in patient wishes, combined with concerns over document accuracy and integrity and breakdowns in transitions of care have historically led to low clinical confidence in advance care planning documents, as well as patient safety concerns and unwanted healthcare utilization. By integrating Vynca's digital technology solutions throughout the entire system, Intermountain gains the ability to increase advance care planning conversations and documentation, access forms at the point of care, decrease hospital mortality and readmission rates and improve patient and family care satisfaction.
"Vynca's software solution provides an effective digital storage and retrieval system for advance care planning documents that integrates into our Cerner EHR," said
Intermountain receives business intelligence and reporting information on when, where and if advance care forms were accessed at the point of care before critical clinical decisions were made – delivering insights into utilization, success and value from implementing a digitized advance care planning program. Vynca enables providers and patients to not just view documents, but also continue discussions across all care settings.
