Healthcare Pathway Management

There are three main reasons why pathway management is an important implementation for hospitals and other healthcare providers:

1. To improve patient care and quality through patient/provider involvement
2. To properly intervene to avoid overlapping resources, lengthy hospital stays for particular conditions, and to identify patients who require additional attention and resources
3. To increase the communication and collaboration between all caregivers, integrating everyone into a coherent process and ensuring continuity of care by reducing unnecessary treatments and variations of care for the particular patient.

While this seems relatively simple on paper, it can be a serious challenge for many caregivers. Although many have come up with ways to share the data associated with their patients, they have not effectively solved the issue of maintaining continuity when the patient is out of their immediate care. Nav Central is here to solve this problem for hospitals, providers, and payers.

Nav Central acts as the “control center” for multi-disciplinary care. We have found that where the patient goes when they need care can have a tremendous impact on outcome, satisfaction, and cost. We use carefully constructed, client-approved algorithms to direct the patient to the best location for care, often helping them avoid unnecessary visits to the emergency room.

Through Nav Central’s Pathway Management System, we will work to:

• Improve communication across care transitionsImprove clinical outcomes
• Manage ACO and Post Acute bundled payment models (BPCI)
• Improve patient satisfactionWork to keep patients “in network”
• Reduce the number of readmissions which occur within 30 days of discharge
