The technology that saved Cone Health $1.2M over 9 months


Many hospitals and health systems struggle with emergency department throughput to ensure care management resources are operating at the top of their licenses, and preventing unnecessary admissions and 30-day readmissions.

North Carolina-based Cone Health was facing that kind of challenge and turned to Stories, Bamboo Health's care transitions assistant, which delivers relevant patient context within clinical workflows at the point of care.

Here's what Cone Health was able to do after using Stories for a 9-month period:
 
  • Saved 20-30 minutes on average per patient assessment.
  • Avoided 106 admissions in a 9-month period, amounting to over $1.2M saved.
  • Tracked high-utilizers and acute visit histories both in and out of Cone Health hospitals.
  • Reduced readmissions and activated home health providers by re-directing patients unnecessarily in the ED back home.
  • Gained insight into recent SNF stays within the last 30 days, allowing them to re-direct patients back to the SNF they recently discharged from.
  • Easily connected with patients' care teams through surfaced contact information, facilitating communication with community resources like ACO partners, FQHCs, and PCPs.
