Overview

Care Gaps by Bamboo Health is a Real-Time Care Gap Identification Solution designed to help providers and payers quickly find and close open gaps in care. It delivers immediate notifications and detailed insights, enabling better outcomes and improved quality measures.

The solution addresses information barriers and misaligned workflows between providers and payers that make it difficult to identify and reconcile high-impact moments for patients, such as transitions of care from an inpatient setting and prompt follow-up care after an emergency department visit for patients with chronic conditions.

Leveraging Bamboo Health’s robust national admission, discharge and transfer (ADT) network, Care Gaps actively surfaces these gaps in real time and within provider workflows. This fosters better care coordination, enhances patient care outcomes, increases cost savings, and improves quality performance with programs such as CMS Star Ratings and HEDIS.

Frequently Asked Questions

Effectively identifying care gaps involves leveraging EHR data tracking, claims data analysis, and risk stratification to pinpoint missed screenings or overdue care. Strategies include embedding real-time alerts during patient encounters, conducting between-visit outreach with automated reminders, and running problem-specific campaigns for particular care gaps.
Successful strategies for improving patient adherence include educating and engaging patients about their conditions and the importance of preventive care, maintaining consistent communication, and addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) like transportation or financial strain. Personalized communication, tailored to individual preferences and delivered through various channels, is also crucial for better engagement.
Beyond standard outreach, consider innovative approaches like implementing Chronic Care Management (CCM) programs for consistent, personalized communication and follow-up, or utilizing telehealth services to expand access to care, especially for remote patients. Technology-driven solutions, such as AI-powered platforms for multi-channel patient engagement and intelligent scheduling, can also streamline the process.
Investing in care gap closure programs can lead to increased revenue by billing for additional medically necessary services and improving performance in value-based care contracts like MIPS, which can lead to higher reimbursements. Annual Wellness Visits (AWVs) are a significant revenue-generating opportunity, often underutilized, and can be performed by non-physicians.
Primary barriers include patients' lack of awareness, limited understanding of risks and benefits, cost concerns, and access issues like transportation. Practices can overcome these by providing clear patient education, personalized communication, addressing SDOH, and building trust so patients understand the value of prevention.
Technology can streamline care gap management through EHR data tracking, claims analysis, and AI-driven risk stratification to identify high-risk patients. Automated systems can then facilitate multi-channel patient outreach (SMS, email, voice AI) and intelligent scheduling for appointments, significantly reducing staff burden and improving closure rates.
