C3LX: A Healthy Dose of Knowledge

There have been several well documented Covid-19 impacts on the US healthcare system. Perhaps a bit under the radar has been the increased acceleration towards value-based care models. While a big driver of this shift can be attributed to providers and health systems struggling to maintain fee-for-service revenues in a time of lock downs and lower patient visit volumes, merely changing the payment model away from 100% fee-for-service won’t alone make these models successful on delivering higher quality, affordable care. At C3LX, our mission is to support value-based care models with technology that equips care teams with the tools and patient insights necessary to be successful. A recent Harvard Business Review article touches on several digital health capabilities that health systems will need to include, and yet these examples are just a starting point. Over the next several weeks, we will dive into each of these digital health capabilities in more detail.

The use of telehealth rapidly increased during the spring as it gave patients a needed way to connect with their physician and reimbursement restrictions were lifted. During this time of a rapid increase in adoption, patients as consumers expect more from their digital tools and compare their experiences to offerings from other industries. Notably, as we head into fall, already the usage of telehealth offerings is declining as physician practices open back up and patients feel safer to return to in-person visits.
