Vigilance Health selects partner to support chronic care management

Vigilance Health has selected eQHealth Solutions to provide cloud-based population health management technology to support chronic care management (CCM) and care coordination initiatives in 51 out of 58 counties in the state of California.

Vigilance will provide consulting services, leverage eQSuite technology, and provide the personnel to fulfill the requirements outlined in CMS’s CPT Code 99490 as well as targeted care to high-risk populations, with the intent on helping their customers make the transition to value-based care, improving patient outcomes, reducing costs and gaining efficiencies.

eQHealth’s population health management technology platform will serve as the foundation for CCM and care coordination activities workflow, the data warehouse for clinical and claims data, provide analytics driving the business decisions, and tracking, and documentation and audit trail reporting.

“We firmly believe that eQHealth is the right partner for our targeted care initiatives. With their company rooted in quality improvement, eQHealth technology encompasses everything we need regarding workflow functionality for CCM and a care management platform to support current and future health IT needs - both population health management and Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA),” said James Coburn chief executive officer and co-founder of Vigilance Health.

“eQHealth stood head and shoulders above other vendors that we evaluated. Further, eQHealth has a strong track-record of successfully implementing health information technology initiatives on time and on budget. With an aggressive plan for growth, we needed a partner that could meet our rigorous timeline.”

Glen Golemi, chief executive officer at eQHealth Solutions, said: “Vigilance Health, well regarded as a California-based Federally Designated Local Extension Center, does great work serving as health technology advocates for small, independent practices and other providers who otherwise would not have the technical expertise to navigate the sophisticated healthcare information technology playing field. We are excited to work with Vigilance to expand their offerings into chronic care management and care coordination services, arguably some of the most critical components of primary care to drive measurable health improvements, enhance patient engagement and lower costs.”
