Subject:i2i Systems, Inc
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
and Diabetes Collaborative (a requirement to maintain FQHC clinic status). To meet its goal
of increasing the quality of care provided to the County residents, CCHS is in need of a
Chronic Disease Management System to manage all of its chronic disease patients and to
facilitate accurate and efficient reporting, both internally and externally, set by the Health
Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). After an RFP process the i2i Systems
product i2iTracks was selected to fulfill this need. i2i Systems has a successful track record
in the design, implementation, and support of chronic disease management systems and is
able to exchange patient health data with the major systems installed at CCHS. A Chronic
Disease management System (CDMS), also called a disease registry, is an electronic system
used to capture, manage and provide information on specific conditions to support
organized care management for patients
This will enable Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) physicians to provide
population-based management of chronic diseases, as well as point-of-care electronic
reminders of associated preventive screening and care for diabetes and other chronic
diseases for our safety net patients. This system would make the clinician’s work easier
because it provides real-time decision support and updated clinical information which
allows for the implementation of routine care by other members of the health team while
affording the provider quality time for direct patient care and other complex tasks.
Moreover, the CDMS will enable CCHS to:
Share appropriate clinical data with disease management and quality improvement
collaboratives.
Comply with payor, state, and federal reporting requirements.
Streamline and standardize administrative and clinical processes.
Provide access to complete and relevant patient information at all locations.
