Driven by the changing incentives of the Affordable Care Act, providers are compelled to work with one another when they share patients. These new collaborations are bringing together historically disparate and siloed healthcare facilities in regional provider communities that more efficiently deliver high quality care wherever patients go. PatientPing is fueling this transition by providing a critical missing link for providers operating in this new environment: the ability to be notified instantly when a patient is receiving care anywhere – inside or outside of their facility or health system – and the ability to collaborate with providers to ensure the best health outcomes for patients.
Upon joining PatientPing, providers receive “Pings,” real-time notifications, whenever their patients receive care at any facility that is a part of the national PatientPing network. At the facility where patients are getting care, providers receive guidelines that include contact information for others on the patient’s care team, helpful instructions from the care team, and patient visit histories. By sharing this information in real-time, providers can seamlessly coordinate their patient’s care.
