Health Language Sensitivity Codes Leveraged to
Support Behavioral Health Population Management
Wolters Kluwer Health announced today that MAP
Health Management® has chosen Health Language®
to improve interoperability and support more compliant data
exchange within its behavioral health population management
platform. By integrating the terminology and data management
solution, MAP enhances analytics capabilities for its clients,
specifically addressing the sharing of sensitive patient
information.
Population health management remains a focal point of industry
efforts to improve outcomes and lower costs, requiring accurate and
complete health information exchange and analytics. Especially in
the behavioral health sector, providers must adequately address the
nuances of sharing and protecting sensitive patient information—a
category defined by high disclosure risks and often associated with
mental health, genetics, substance abuse, reproductive care,
sexually-transmitted diseases and other sensitive conditions.
“Collaborative population health management is critical to
improving clinical and financial outcomes in the behavioral health
sector. However, providers may be reluctant to share
patient records to avoid breach of patient confidentiality,”
said Avi Mukherjee, Chief Technology Officer at MAP Health
Management. “The Health Language Platform alleviates these concerns
and ensures our clients can provide Primary Care Providers and
Behavioral Health Specialists access to the most complete and
accurate patient data while also giving the patients they serve
confidence that sensitive information is protected.”
MAP is using Health Language interoperability and mapping
solutions to establish a single source of truth, promote
interoperability and optimize analytics for regulatory and
value-based programs. Specifically, MAP will be leveraging
Sensitivity Codes to identify and filter sensitive information to
keep it from leaving a patient’s trusted provider organization.
These include nearly 40,000 clinical and claims codes covering
Substance Abuse, Mental Health, Sexually Transmitted Diseases and
Family Planning groups. This approach will enable MAP to meet and
exceed legal and regulatory standards and hospital policies, while
also meeting clinical and financial outcomes.
MAP delivers technology-enabled solutions, including telehealth
and other remote engagement devices and applications, that improve
clinical and financial outcomes for chronic behavioral health
disorders such as Substance Use Disorder. Its robust ecosystem of
solutions empowers treatment providers, health insurance companies,
health systems and patients with the right data at the right time

"We are pleased to partner with MAP Health Management to address
the challenges of data management in the behavioral health sector,”
said Dan Buell, General Manager of Health Language at Wolters
Kluwer Clinical Software Solutions, "At Wolters Kluwer, we are
passionate about the power of accurate data, and through our
partnership with MAP Health Management we are delivering enhanced
data solutions that improve healthcare for patients, providers and
