July 16 2019 - 09:00AM
MatrixCare announced today that Dheeraj Mahajan, MD, MBA, MPH,
FACP, CMD, CIC, CHCQM, has joined its team as chief medical officer
and executive vice president to advance MatrixCare’s vision of
creating a seamless continuum where data moves with the patient,
connecting both acute and post-acute care providers.
Dr. Mahajan joins MatrixCare with more than 15 years as a
practicing physician and is a nationally recognized expert and
speaker on physician payment models, clinical documentation
improvement, denial management, quality measurement in post-acute
and long-term care, and transitional care quality improvement.
Dr. Mahajan’s areas of research interest include antimicrobial
stewardship, quality measures, health information exchange and
interoperability, one of MatrixCare’s key differentiator in the
out-of-hospital care market that helps providers operate more
efficiently and improves individuals’ transitions between care
settings and long-term health outcomes.
“Dr. Mahajan was one of the first physicians to understand the
vision of what MatrixCare has been working to achieve,” said John
Damgaard, president and CEO of MatrixCare. “In fact, he was our
initial customer for CareCommunity, our game-changing care
coordination platform. With his input, we’ve continued to raise the
bar on interoperability between acute and post-acute care settings
and improving transitional care quality, all while helping
providers work more efficiently. We’re looking forward to even
greater collaboration and innovation as a result of him joining the
MatrixCare team.”
“MatrixCare understands what physicians need,” Mahajan
explained. “With payment models evolving and referral networks
becoming the new operating structure for post-acute care, it’s
important that upstream and downstream providers are all connected
on the patient’s behalf and are able to share information quickly
and securely. MatrixCare not only provides a seamless data exchange
for person-centric care, but also enterprise-wide analytics that
provide insight into readmission data and other metrics that are
critical for monitoring and optimizing outcomes under value-based
care.”
