Welcome
to OutcomeAdvantage
OutcomeAdvantage is leading the way for health
care providers to communicate in a more meaningful
way with their patients. Our Care Management
Platform was designed with the patient in mind and
will lead to improved patient satisfaction,
patient understanding, patient compliance, and
patient tracking resulting in improved quality and
risk management, reduced costs, and better
outcomes. The platform enables more timely and
accurate information flow between all stakeholders
for success in health care - the patient, the
provider, and the payer.
 Improve Quality
& Patient Satisfaction
Regulations mandate that all hospitals receiving
government funds make their quality and patient
satisfaction data public. Hospitals need a way
to efficiently and accurately monitor all
patient quality issues and be responsive in a
timely manner.

Care Transitions
- Reduce Preventable Readmissions
Hospitalists have increasingly filled the gap on
patient hand-off from physicians to hospitals,
and then transitioning care post discharge back
to the primary care physician. However, there
are gaps of care and the discharge processes at
hospitals are under increasing scrutiny as
health care reform is targeting the close to 30%
readmissions of patients within 30 days of
discharge for certain DRG’s. The
OutcomeAdvantage Care Management Platform can
reliably automate this process and reduce
preventable readmissions. read more
Automate Patient
Outreach
As hospitals begin to become more proactive they
are looking for ways to stay in touch with
patients with an outbound call strategy to
undertake patient screenings, education, patient
satisfaction, and other social
networking/community based activities. Hospitals
want to be more proactive in post-discharge
follow up but live calls are expensive and time
consuming and don’t always reach that 20% of the
patients that need immediate attention.

Enhance Patient
Compliance & Understanding
Recent studies have shown that a large number of
patients leaving the emergency room or
outpatients discharged do not have a good
understanding of their discharge instructions
nor are they clear about their medications. Lack
of understanding about their diagnosis or follow
up can lead to a very low compliance rates for
taking medications, setting of physician follow
up visits, or other critical discharge
instructions. read more
