We’re delighted to share our 2023 results for closing gaps in care: Our nurses, a key part of CircleLink’s care management platform, addressed 90.3% of Gaps in Care! (For patients on our program for six months or more for the gaps tracked*) The nurses also fully closed gaps in care in the majority of these patients. This achievement highlights the effectiveness of our fully-staffed, fully-managed care management program and especially the hard work of the >130 skilled nurses tracked.
Gaps in care refer to the discrepancies between the healthcare services a patient needs and the services they actually receive. These gaps can lead to worsened health outcomes, higher healthcare costs, and increased patient dissatisfaction. As healthcare providers shift towards value-based payments, addressing these gaps is crucial. Value-based payments focus on providing high-quality care and improving patient outcomes rather than the volume of services delivered. Closing gaps in care is essential for achieving these goals, ensuring patients receive the comprehensive care they deserve.*For example, the Gaps in Care addressed above include: Annual Wellness Visit done, A1C Test, Diabetes Eye Exam, Colon Cancer Screen, Mammogram, Influenza Vaccine, Pneumonia Vaccine, and COVID Vaccine+Booster.
At CircleLink Health, we are dedicated to improving patient outcomes through our fully-staffed, fully-managed care management program. Our team of over 130 skilled nurses plays a vital role in identifying and addressing gaps in care. We leverage our innovative Gap Closer tracking system to monitor and manage patient care effectively. This system allows us to track interventions, follow-ups, and patient progress, ensuring no Care Gap goes unnoticed.
As we move forward, CircleLink Health remains committed to closing even more gaps in care and enhancing the health and well-being of our patients in 2024. We will continue to refine our care management strategies, invest in our nursing team, and leverage cutting-edge technology to ensure we provide the best possible care.
