Hospital for Special Care Achieves Industry Recognition for Patient Centered Specialty Care
May 21 2015 - 8:01AM
The Autism Center at Hospital for Special Care (HSC), an Allscripts
client in New Britain, CT, USA, is the first organization to
receive the Patient Centered Specialty Practice (PCSP) recognition
for Autism from the National Committee for Quality Assurance
(NCQA). This recognition highlights specialty practices that
successfully coordinate patient care and communicate with their
primary care colleagues, other specialists and patients.
HSC extended their Sunrise platform by deploying Allscripts
SunriseTM Ambulatory Care to create an integrated electronic health
record (EHR) process to meet PCSP criteria. The organization met or
exceeded national standards for:
- Communicating with primary care clinicians to exchange key
information and establish coordinated care plans
- Providing timely access to care and clinical advice based on
patient need
- Using a systematic approach to track referrals and coordinate
care
- Measuring and improving performance over time
"The Autism Center at Hospital for Special Care is committed to
providing high quality patient-centered care, with a focus on
continuous quality improvements," said Lynn Ricci, senior vice
president and chief operating officer, Hospital for Special Care.
"By using the Allscripts Sunrise solution, our care providers can
assemble and access the patient data necessary to facilitate
collaborative care. We are already seeing positive outcomes for our
patients."
For example, HSC had an 8-year-old male patient diagnosed with
an Autism spectrum disorder. The primary care physician determined
that the patient's academic program struggled to meet his needs and
made a referral to a psychologist. Both care providers collaborated
on a comprehensive care and treatment plan by using the shared EHR.
As other specialists were added to the patient's treatment plan,
those care providers were also able to effectively contribute to
the care plan by using the EHR.
Sunrise Ambulatory Care from Allscripts is a complete solution
for outpatient care that helps enable ambulatory practices to
operate more efficiently through every stage of care and
administration. As patients move from one environment to another,
Sunrise Ambulatory Care tracks the vital processes related to the
current orders, medications, results and documents to help ensure
safety at every stage and handoff.
"The Information Technology team at HSC played a pivotal role in
the success of the Patient-Centered Specialty Practice (PCSP),"
said Stanislaw Jankowski, vice president and chief information
officer, Hospital for Special Care. "With Allscripts collaboration
and Autism leaders, we optimized the use of Allscripts EHR for data
capture and ensured all the required PCSP criteria were met."
"Hospital for Special Care is a leader in using Sunrise
Ambulatory Care to deliver strong results for its patients," said
Allscripts Senior Vice President, Client Organization John Sage.
"This impressive national recognition required a rigorous review of
its capabilities, and it is great to see this organization receive
the kudos it deserves for patient-centered care."
