John Halamka, MD, MS, a seasoned blogger and industry expert, writes about the BluePrint Health IT Innovation Summit in his well followed blog, "Life as a Healthcare CIO."
InVivoLink (“IVL”) is dedicated to improving clinical outcomes, elevating the patient experience, and removing waste during the orthopedic episode of care. IVL’s innovative registry solutions collect, monitor and disseminate outcomes data to the appropriate health care providers across the continuum.
InVivoLink’s product suite includes pre-operative tools that allow physicians to easily stratify implant preferences based on patient characteristics. Preferences are then integrated to a collaborative inventory scheduling platform that streamlines and coordinates the pre-operative processes across multiple parties. In the O.R.,, innovative data collection tools organize implant data, surgical technique data, PQRI information, and any custom quality information a provider is interested in tracking. Physicians, therapists, and patients are also able to exchange information and surveys through an innovative patient portal and orthopedic clinical outreach platform. Groundbreaking analytics enable evidence-based medicine and decision support tools that are integrated in to the operations of the clinic and the hospital.
InVivoLink’s platform captures real-time data- both clinical and financial- without disrupting workflow. Filling the current knowledge gaps around implantable devices, the registry provides hospitals with the ability to:
benchmark physician practice patterns and align with clinicians on utilization and planning for risk-stratified patient groups
engage patients through an orthopedic patient portal focused on outcomes
improve care coordination between the clinic, the hospital, and post-acute care providers
capture quality metrics for payer negotiations and other quality initiatives
automatically feed the AJRR national joint registry or local level 3 registry
reduce costs through evidence-based utilization, intelligent contracting, and disruptive cost-of-service initiatives
participate in bundled payments and next generation payment models
