Cloud-based healthcare referrals, made simple. The power of referrals to improve health, costs and revenue is now available to physicians and all other providers.
Infina Connect is a digital health company that is solving one of the most critical issues in healthcare today – ensuring that patients receive high value, coordinated care – when they are referred to other providers such as specialist physicians, diagnostic imaging, surgeons, etc. Infina Connect has been operating its Intelligent Care Coordinator solution for over 3 years at scale, and is the early leader in community referral coordination. Infina Connect is well poised to capitalize on this burgeoning growth opportunity in healthcare due to key market drivers:
• Healthcare in the U.S. is transitioning rapidly from fee-for-service to value-based care.
• Healthcare organizations must improve the referral coordination process in order to remain profitable.
• Infina Connect has a proven referral coordination solution and is the first to gain widespread adoption across a community.
The physician referral process today is mostly fax, eFax, paper and phone based, and many of us have experienced the current state of poorly coordinated care. Our Intelligent Care Coordinator (ICC) is a cloud-based software application that enables closed-loop coordination of patient care between providers; guiding patient referrals to preferred providers and ensuring that relevant clinical information, secure communications and current status are always available. It is easily available to all providers as a recurring Software as a Service (SaaS) fee. Improving the referral process improves the quality of patient care and reduces cost.
