Intelligent Physicians Association (IPA)

A Clinical Integration Solution Designed Specifically for IPAs, MCOs and MSOs
by experts from these organizations

Introduction
The objectives for the Pay for Performance (P4P) incentives and incentives developed by health plans are focused on driving the cost of providing care down and to keep the quality of care at the highest level possible. Reducing the number of brand drugs prescribed, patient’s health maintenance for patients with chronic diseases (COPD, HBP, Diabetics, etc.), hospital days, emergency room visits and the patient satisfaction levels are a few of the indicators being measured today.

SuiteMed's Clinical Integration Solution creates a tool to allow IPAs, MCOs, and Medical Groups to access data from disparate systems and transforms it to useful information. SuiteMed combines:

	Laboratory Results
	Pharmacy Scripts
	Claims Data
	Radiology

Information about the Patients, Providers, and practice patterns can be compiled and drilled down to identify ways to take the corrective actions to meet the goals of the organization.

Examples of queries:

	Identify the top 50 Brand Prescriptions that have an equivalent generic or therapeutic equivalent drug.
	- Identify the top script writers - Identify patients taking the medication
	Identify patients with chronic conditions:
	- Identify if the prescription has not been filled for a period of time
	Identify patients that are passed due for their annual procedures such as PAPs, PSA, mammograms etc.

In each of the examples above, SuiteMed can generate a "communications link" to request the patients or providers to take a recommended course of action.

Communications Link include: Automated Telephone Messaging Services, outbound call services by SuiteMed HIPAA certified employees,
E-Mail, and Text Messaging services.

Brand versus generic prescription incentives:

	Addresses the "points of failure" during the workflow process
	Creates a knowledge database and reports.
	Delivers proprietary software (GenRXTM) to assist in generic prescription generation at the POS.
	Provides a Messaging Service to proactively contact the RX eligibility service organization.
	Delivers a Messaging Service for patients, describing the benefits of the program.
	Provides a Healthcare Portal to increase the communications between: Patients – Providers - Pharmacies.
