Care coordination and quality measurement
The clinics that owe the most reporting have the least help doing it.
A four hundred bed system runs a data warehouse and a team of certified developers. A six provider practice owes the same measures to the same agencies, and does it in a spreadsheet after hours. MyCareFriend is built for the second one.
Where we are
Running today, and what is still being built.
MyCareFriend is early. Below is the actual state of it. We keep this list current because you will find out anyway, and finding out later is worse for both of us.
| Capability | State | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| Reading clinical records from an electronic health record | Running | Working against test data. No live practice has been connected yet. |
| Checking records for problems before anything is counted | Running | Contradictory dates, impossible values, placeholder entries, records pointing at visits that never arrived. |
| Two quality measures | Running | Readmission within thirty days, and diabetes control. Suitable for managing your own performance. Not yet suitable for submission. |
| Separation between organisations | Running | Enforced by the system that stores the data. If the check fails, nothing is returned. |
| Clinic dashboard | Running | Reads live figures. Where a measure cannot be computed it says so instead of showing a zero. |
| Reading from spreadsheets, documents and scanned paper | Building | The route most small practices actually need, because the parts of your operation that matter most are not in the clinical record. |
| Patient and clinician apps with reminders on your phone | Building | Designed, and sitting on the clinical foundation above. Not yet delivering notifications. |
| Submission grade measures with risk adjustment | Planned | Required before a figure from here can be filed with an agency. |
Status reflects code running on our own infrastructure against generated test records. It is not a claim about performance at your practice.
Four ways in
Start where you sit.
Clinics and health systems
Pricing, what setup involves, and the reasons you might decide against it. Those are in the first paragraph, not the fifth.
Patients and families
What the patient side will do, what it does not do yet, and how to be told when it is ready.
Getting connected
What happens in the first month, what we need from you, and how long each part actually takes.
Funders and research partners
Registered and eligible for federal funding, and available as a named technology partner on an application.
We are looking for our first ten practices.
Design partners shape what gets built, keep their price for two years, and can walk away with a full export at any point.
