As part of this work,the team wants to build a platform that will significantly improve surgical experience—from patient intake to readmission prevention and everything inbetween.They want to integrate this platform with EHRs, community health records, and clinical laboratories. Also, they want to build a recommendation engine which will analyze the patient’s information and offer suggestions to be followed before the surgery. The group also wants to make sure they are adhering to the compliances such as HIPAA, QCDR, QR and ensure data security and secure care delivery of the highest standards from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
