Going Beyond the Bar: Health Home Updates in ThinkHealth - 8/7/2015

OrionNet Systems is setting the bar for ICD-10 compliance and going beyond it to include other services. When OrionNet Systems rolls out ICD-10, they will also be rolling out some Health Home changes as well to their ThinkHealth practice management software. 

 

“On the ThinkHealth desktop, we are adding another item to our already extensive list of features for Health Home services,” said Clyde Wafford, president of OrionNet Systems. “This Health Home Dashboard will include various features that will make services easier for Health Home providers.”  

 

Health Homes is an optional Medicaid State Plan benefit that provides an opportunity to build a person-centered system of care that achieves improved outcomes and better services and value for the Oklahoma SoonerCare program for individuals with complex needs.  The Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS) has partnered with the Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA) to expand upon the patient-centered medical home model to provide coordinated primary and behavioral health integration. 

 

“I hope our members like the new changes and I hope they make their job easier,” said Clyde Wafford. “We understand how important behavioral health homes are to the industry and to our members.”

 

The expectation is that behavioral health homes will result in improved quality of care and more cost efficiencies; improved experience with care on the part of members; and reductions in the use of hospitals, emergency departments, and other expensive facility-based care, such as Psychiatric Residential treatment for children.

 

“We are working hard to get all these updates to our members, said Clyde Wafford. “ICD-10 has to come first, but we are on track to make all these changes.”
