The benefits of Sharp Focus and Sharp Focus for
the Net System Modules include:
Automated Referral to Physicians and Services
Enables you to quickly and easily match consumers with the physicians and
services that best meet their individual needs.
Referral - The Referral module of Sharp Focus enables
you to quickly and easily match consumers with the physicians and services that
best meet their healthcare needs. Designed to provide a unified,
service-oriented referral center, the Referral module is a one-call-does-it-all
healthcare information resource. Use the Sharp Focus Referral module to
attract, service, follow up, and satisfy new customers. Develop both inbound
and outbound marketing as the cornerstone of your institution's database
marketing strategy.
Consult/Physician-to-Physician Referrals - The Consult module of Sharp
Focus captures and channels physician-to-physician consultation and
referrals to your institution's medical staff specialists. Created to quickly
and effortlessly assist physician-to-physician contacts, the Consult module
enables primary care physicians to locate and consult a specialist to make an
accurate and knowledgeable patient referral. Designed for specialty and acute
care institutions, the Consult module adds physician-to-physician consultation
services to your unified, service-oriented referral center.
Telephone Triage Based Primary Care Assessment
Physician-authored adult and pediatric protocols are designed for
screening--not diagnosis. They provide an online mechanism to determine
appropriate levels of care.
Clinical Protocol/Triage - Designed by The Cleveland Clinic
Foundation, the Protocol module of Sharp Focus is a primary care
assessment tool. A program used by your registered nurses to triage
symptom-based complaints, provide health information, education and prevention,
manage chronic diseases, and supply provider and healthcare referrals. The
system gives you local control over demand management for your health plan
members. The Clinical Protocol module is designed for screening--not
diagnosis. It provides an online mechanism for nurses to determine
appropriate levels of care.
Education, Prevention and Disease Management
Online health information provides topics and prescription drug references at
your fingertips. All materials can be printed and sent via facsimile or mail
for reinforcement.
ClinicalAdvisor - ClinicalAdvisor provides
online health information on medical topics and medications. ClinicalAdvisor
furnishes up-to-date and comprehensive information for healthcare organizations
to deliver to their consumer. It is a powerful addition to any health
information and referral service.
CareAdvisor - When it comes to patient and consumer satisfaction,
readily available health information that is easily accessible, sets you apart
from your competitors. The CareAdvisor Audio Health Information
System module empowers patients and managed care members to make informed
healthcare decisions by providing immediate access to information they need via
telephone, interactive voice response (IVR) technology, and on the Web through
MP3 audio and text. With over 540 prerecorded topics and fax-back features, the CareAdvisor
system allows your nurses to "off-load" health information calls to focus on
those which may be life threatening.
Member Management
Our Member Management module includes benefits counseling, employer
relationship tracking, health referrals and screening.
Membership - The Membership module of Sharp Focus precisely
identifies, segments, targets, and nurtures your "best" customers and
prospects. Converting prospects into loyal, long-term consumers of your
institution's services through a personalized membership program is a winning
patient acquisition and retention strategy. Affinity membership -- grouping of
individuals with similar characteristics -- effectively creates a "Buying
Profile" on select groups of consumers and uses that profile to cross-sell
services. Success hinges on building and nurturing long-term customer
relationships for maximum return-on-investment.
Health Risk Appraisals
Includes fully customizable appraisals to evaluate consumer risk factors, or
conduct online surveys.
Survey - The Survey module provides unmatched flexibility to
develop and track any survey or assessment your institution wishes to
administer. Addressing the two primary components of survey methodology, the
Survey module automates the processes of data collection and results analysis.
Use the Sharp Focus Survey module to identify and acquire new patients
based on their health concerns. Retain these and other patients by assessing
and understanding customer perceptions of the quality of your institution's
services.
Managed Care
Nothing has altered the delivery of healthcare services more than the growth of
managed care. Fee-for-service medical treatment co-exists with capitated health
plans that offer specific coverage to their enrollees through contracted
providers. Integrated delivery systems and healthcare organizations must have a
software program in place to effectively manage their network of providers,
health plans, and managed care members. This technology is available with the
Managed Care module of Sharp Focus. Designed to automate Member
Services activities, the Managed Care module is an integral part of the Sharp
Focus software system. Our clients use the module to compete
successfully in their regional managed care markets.
Outbound Telemarketing
The Outbound module efficiently targets the "best" customers with the relevant
marketing message, and effectively focuses marketing expenditures on the most
profitable market segments. Created for progressive healthcare institutions,
use the Outbound module to make the right offer, to the right audience, at the
right moment.
