Originally WYHealth care coordinators manually compiledand reconciled census information for clients whichrequired follow up related to a hospital care event.Information on ED Administrations were delayed up to 24hours and Impatient Admissions were delayed up to 7days. By implementing the Notify Solution, the gap in timeCase Managers are notified of a client's care event isminutes of the admission rather than days.
WYFI's NotifySolutionreduced thetime gapfrom days tominutes forclient careevents.

Results include:Patient care is improved by earlier engagement toreduce inappropriate utilization of services whileallowing the individual to obtain the services that bestmeet his or her health care needs.Improved workflow by allowing Case Managers to moreefficiently engage with their clients rather thanspending time compiling data.
