COLUMBUS, Ohio—Elumina Health Inc announced the launch of artificial intelligence (AI) based patient risk triaging capability in Basis EHR. Basis EHR leverages AI to identify home health care patients who are at high risk for hospitalization on the basis of their demographic and medical data. This enables clinicians to monitor high risk patients more closely to reduce hospitalizations.
Small Town, Big Innovation
Basis EHR demonstrates how health care transformation solutions succeed best when developed beyond traditional technology centers, Elumina Health said. The Elumina Health team considered a problem with current EHR systems because they did not meet the distinct requirements of post-acute care home health care. The company capitalized on the opportunity to develop an AI-empowered system that would reinforce home health care service delivery.
"Traditional EHR systems weren't built with home health care in mind," said Sreeram Mullankandy, the product leader of Basis EHR. "We saw an opportunity to leverage AI to create something that could truly transform how care is delivered in the post-acute space."
Growth & Evolution
Since its inception, the organization has achieved a 10-fold rise in patient volumes in three years. The growing health care demands have created a necessity for advanced scalable solutions to support skilled nursing facilities and additional healthcare services that require physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and medical social work.
The AI Advantage
Basis EHR uses AI automation to reduce clinical documentation workload, enabling medical staff to focus more on patient health care activities.
"In the age of AI, we're proving that a dedicated team from a non-tier one city can develop solutions that outperform legacy systems built by much larger corporations," said Mullankandy. "Our clinicians are consistently choosing Basis EHR over other systems because it simply works better for their needs."
Basis EHR aims to reach a wider market by 2025 while bringing substantial interest from home health care providers both in the Columbus region and beyond.
