In a release, the Company noted that the arrangement will enable it to augment its payer-based electronic health records with streaming web-based programs designed to increase communication with consumers and further engage them in the management and delivery of their health care.
The Company added that the partnership with Emmi Solutions will allow MEDecision to incorporate Emmi programs into its Alineo collaborative health care management platform. As a result, MEDecision's health care payer customers will have the ability to furnish their members with email links to interactive and trackable web-based content regarding certain conditions, procedures, medications and related information specific to the individual patient. For example, a patient with asthma deemed to be incorrectly or inconsistently using an inhaler may be sent a link to an Emmi program demonstrating how to better use the device. The member may then interact with care providers through the Emmi program by securely sending any questions or comments.
"Combining Emmi Solution's technology with Alineo enables us to help consumers become more involved in their own care," said Scott A. Storrer, president and COO at MEDecision. "Emmi Solutions is an ideal partner for us as we advance our efforts to be at the forefront of technical innovation in health care. We believe this is just the beginning of a fruitful and mutually beneficial relationship."
"This partnership puts a human touch on the technology side of health care," said Ron Rooth, Emmi Solutions CEO. "By teaming Emmi programs with MEDecision's Alineo, we can engage patients with timely, helpful information in a way that is efficient and scalable."
The Emmi communication platform helps patients become more active participants in their care. Leading health care organizations use the company's web-based programs to cost effectively scale their care management programs while increasing overall member engagement and satisfaction.
