If you work in healthcare, chances are you have limited visibility into your patients. A primary care provider might not know when a patient visits the hospital, and vice versa. But what if all relevant data could be surfaced and shared in real time with everyone involved in a patient's care?
Watershed Health is working to make that possible. The platform enables real-time data sharing by connecting electronic health records, paper-based documentation and nontraditional systems. The goal: to help organizations better coordinate care across the continuum.
In this episode, Senior Writer Anastassia Gliadkovskaya spotlights a new large-scale data-sharing initiative Watershed launched in Austin, Texas. She speaks with Watershed CEO Effie Carlson and Jeff Richardson, CEO of Integral Care, a behavioral health provider partnering with Watershed, about what the collaboration means for care coordination.
