Metrolina Nephrology Associates (MNA) is a leading nephrology practice in the Greater Charlotte area, caring for patients with kidney disease.The practice wanted to better understand its patient population’s health outcomes and the costs associated with their care. As it prepared for a value-based healthcare model, MNA needed clinical and operational information that could help its team make informed decisions about patient care.
Challenges
MNA needed to bring clinical and operational data together to better manage patient care and prepare for value-based healthcare.
The practice recognized the benefits of Microsoft Power BI and wanted to use it to help manage patients’ renal health. Its team needed a clearer view of patient information, health outcomes, and care costs to identify areas for improvement.
Some of the information MNA needed was not captured in its electronic medical record (EMR) system. The practice needed a way to collect that additional information and use it alongside existing patient data.
Solution
New Charter helped MNA implement Microsoft Power BI, creating one source of information for managing patient care.
EMR Integration
The dashboards integrated with MNA’s electronic medical record system, bringing real-time patient data together in one reporting view.
Power Apps Data Capture
New Charter used Power Apps to capture additional information the EMR did not collect. This information could then be used alongside existing EMR data.
results
The solution gave providers and nurses tools to track patient information, monitor care milestones, and support treatment planning.
Clearer Patient Visibility
Providers and nurses could access patient information in one place, helping them understand each patient’s care needs.
Care Milestone Tracking
Teams could track care milestones and use checks and balances to help ensure patients stayed on course with their treatment plans.
Better-Informed Care Decisions
Visibility into patient health, outcomes, and care costs helped the practice identify opportunities to improve care delivery.
Conclusion
By bringing clinical and operational information together, MNA gained a clearer view of patient care.
The dashboards and additional data capture capabilities gave its team tools to support treatment planning and prepare for value-based healthcare.
