Special
Opportunities for Healthcare IT in Physician Organizations
MANASQUAN,
NJ -- Written off for dead just a few years ago, independent physician
practice associations and physician hospital organizations are not only
'bulking up' and growing stronger, several physician organizations have
taken the lead position in new healthcare IT projects in their regions.
In
several cases, these initiatives go well beyond technology solutions
limited just to IPA or PHO members and involve numbers of providers in
their state or region, according to information published by The
Executive Report on Physician Organizations.
There are
opportunities in the physician organization market for technology
companies that have developed a range of tools and solutions needed by
administrators of these organizations.
The physician
organizations need tools for communicating electronically between
physicians and health plans, for physician-patient communications, for
electronic prescribing, and for the implementation and adoption of
electronic patient records.
Driven by the national healthcare IT
initiatives, physician organizations are moving forward with technology
projects that will connect their physician members, e-prescribing
projects, electronic medical record projects, and investments in
technology needed for the physician organizations to participate in the
emerging trend of pay-for-performance.
Representative
projects include a 2,300 physician-member IPA that is applying
information technology in eight counties in New York State. The IPA
received, for example, $1.5 million in grant funding that will help
develop a secure Internet portal, through which local physicians will
be able to access electronic medical information, treatment protocols
and current clinical research.
Another example is the more
than 2,600-member IPA in California that is involving several vendors
in a multi-year project to implement an integrated electronic medical
records and practice management system. The online system is designed
to reduce the burden and inefficiencies of paper records, enabling
physicians and office staff to improve patient care. The project will
be phased among the IPA's providers over the next three to five years.
Because
millions of dollars have already been awarded for early-adopter
pay-for-performance programs, experts agree that the majority of IPAs
and PHOs will be moving rapidly to participate in the so-called P4P
programs in the next two-three years. Here are some representative P4P
awards to the early "players:" $24.1 million for incentives awarded to
California physician organizations; and $18 million in a separate round
of P4P. The reward programs are also underway in Michigan,
Pennsylvania, and Arizona.
More than 2,200 physician
organizations, ranging from independent practice associations,
physician-hospital organizations, practice management companies and
management service organizations are profiled in the newest release of
the National Directory of Physician Organizations Database, produced by
The Managed Care Information Center.
Under development since
1997, the database profiles include contact information on more than
5,500 physician organization decision-makers.
Sales and
marketing executive's technology, systems and software, insurance,
pharmaceutical, and medical supply companies can use the file to get
the most current key contact information on this rapidly changing
practice market.
The database features profile information,
including key personnel, demographic and market area analysis, number
of primary care and specialist physicians represented by the
organization, and hospital affiliation.
