The Hudson Health Plan, a Medicaid managed care organization based in New York, will implement an integrated care management software system offered by TCS Healthcare Technologies.
TCS' Acuity Advanced Care will support Hudson's Utilization Management (UM), Case Management (CM), Disease Management (DM) and Prevention/Wellness (PW) services.
"Using an integrated and dynamic system like Acuity is critical as Hudson continues to serve our health plan members, many of whom have special needs. Acuity's flexibility will help us build and respond to a number of state-sponsored programs that require specific activities and reporting functions," said Margaret (Peggy) Leonard, senior vice president for clinical services at Hudson.
"TCS' Acyuity will assume an integral role in empowering our team to serve the populations that we cover, who often are facing enormous social and economic challenges that complicate their health," said Georganne Chapin, president and CEO of Hudson. "Acuity's functionality will take Hudson's care management programs to the next level by automating key workflows and making sure that the right information is getting to the right person."
As part of the Acuity platform, Hudson also has purchased a number of additional IT tools to support its special needs populations, including AcuStrat, a population stratification and automation tool that turns patient healthcare information into automated actionable events; AcuPort Advanced, a middleware software (extraction, transformation and loading) solution to link disparate information from multiple applications into one system; and AcuCare Programs for Asthma, Diabetes, Heart Failure and High Risk Pregnancy.
Hudson will go live with the Acuity system later this year.
