Clinics and hospitals have substantially reduced in-person visits to reduce potential COVID-19 exposure, the result? Telehealth solutions have become near-essential and their adoption rapidly accelerated. When we look back at the last major digital transformation for the health industry: the adoption of Electronic Medical records (EMR), digitizing the medical field comes with the intention of proficiency, but this can result in growing pains. Digital integration was implemented with the intention of reducing time and overhead connected to administrative duties and paperwork, but that shift has also resulted in one of the leading causes of physician burnout.

“As the flow of data from virtual visits, remote monitoring devices, and wearables increases, we must be sure providers don’t shoulder the cognitive burden of swiveling among even more screens and data feeds to manage patient care. It’s critical for data to be brought together on a unifying platform, where providers and staff have a “single pane” view of the patient journey. Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and voice technologies play crucial roles in reducing documentation burden by quickly filtering and surfacing the most useful and relevant data for understanding the patient story and delivering the right care.” –Ashwini Zenooz, MD

Virtual healthcare platform solutions are here to stay, but the way data is managed in these processes creates different clinical efficiency impacts. Integrating patient-reported data into actionable insights requires more than a simple digital intake platform. cliexa has created tailored workflow solutions focused on quality reporting and billing data that seamlessly integrate into EMR systems.

Over a third of medical practitioners report burnout symptoms and more than half are due to the global health crisis. Finding the right virtual health platform is harder than ever and finding one that makes life easier on patients and physicians alike is essential. This is why cliexa builds end-to end systems that improve quality of care and reduces burden on physicians. Learn more:

Banner Health Launches cliexa’s Adolescent Resiliency Screening Platform: cliexa-OPTIONS

Greeley, CO: cliexa today announces a new partnership with Banner Health’s North Colorado Family Medicine. This partnership supports a proof of concept study with cliexa’s adolescent resiliency digital health screening tool called cliexa-OPTIONS.

The study, which began on September 28, 2020 is sponsored by Dr. Michael Bradfield at Banner’s North Colorado Family Medicine, includes an independent evaluation team from the University of Northern Colorado. Dr. William Merchant from Applied Statistics and Research Methods, and Dr. Stephen Wright from the Applied Psychology and Counselor Education Program.

Doctoral students have been implementing cliexa-OPTIONS digital health screening at the Psychological Counseling Clinic since last year.

I find this tool is a valuable component to facilitating the process of reaching the client where they are developmentally. While working with youth requires integrated care and an interdisciplinary approach, the cliexa platform allows for a common and universal language to be used by all healthcare providers with the same mission of lowering sexual risk, empowering adolescents and young adults to make real behavioral changes, and increasing awareness of services that can be provided to them for additional support,” says Kaitlin Dent, a Doctoral student from the Applied Psychology and Counselor Education Program at UNC. “Clients feel safer, disclosing more personal and relevant information about their mental health, sexual activity, and overall well-being.

The benefits of this new partnership include:

  1. Implementation of the latest recommendations from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force for adolescent behavioral health.
  2. Integrated care support to family physicians working with adolescent patients at Northern Colorado Family Medicine.
  3. Evaluating the quad aims, including cost-benefit, physician and patient satisfaction, and improving outcomes using digital screening tools that support primary care clinics.

We are excited to support Banner Health’s North Colorado Family Medicine. This proof of concept study is important for moving adolescent behavioral health and resiliency forward for primary care clinics,” says Mehmet Kazgan, CEO at cliexa.

Frontline health workers are battling not only a public health crisis, but also a workforce crisis. As nursing shortages rise across the country, the most vulnerable communities are hit hardest. These turbulent times have highlighted deep-rooted inequities in health for communities of color, amplifying structural social and economic factors that contribute to poor health outcomes.

Johnson & Johnson Impact Ventures and Village Capital has invited cliexa, alongside fellow health tech entrepreneurs, investors, and public health stakeholders for a virtual startup showcase where 12 startups will pitch their companies.

Quality Improvement during a Pandemic: How cliexa empowers actionable data delivery

In a recent webinar, Dr. Maccioli, an advisor to the board at Quick’rCare Quality, discussed the cause and effect of COVID-19 from the healthcare workforce perspective. Gerald Maccioli, MD, was the former Chief Quality Officer at Envision Healthcare and an innovative healthcare leader serving for over 30 years. Maccioli’s goal is to effectively deliver quality healthcare to all patients, regardless of their entry point into the system, while protecting non-COVID-19 positive patients and our healthcare workforce. In the webinar, Maccioli highlighted companies like cliexa, who already provide “automated patient entered data quality reporting; that’s what we need to get to.”

He notes, now more than ever, “there is a need for partners in the tech world to give the world a foundation of automated and trusted information acquisition.” The need for digital, remote patient care is more critical now than ever. cliexa’s platform solution leverages flexible technology to create custom workflows to enhance efficiency and tailored data gather. Our clients have implemented cliexa across subspecialty clinics including pain management, pediatrics, family medicine, cardiovascular and emergency medicine. cliexa’s platform can accommodate varying workflows based on chief complaint, appointment type and payor-specific needs.

cliexa is committed to increase access to care—especially in times of crisis. Today we are striving to optimize the patient experience by remaining at the forefront of digital health and efficiently connecting patient reported data to clinical teams in order to improve outcomes.
