Connecting Clinical Care to Social Needs: How Lightbeam Health Solutions Enables Augusta Health to Improve Health Care in Their Community
Identifying and impacting the most at-risk patients using proven, tech-enabled workflows and strategies helps Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) make a positive change in the communities they serve. Augusta Health, a community hospital and health network in Fishersville, VA, leverages Lightbeam’s population health management platform to identify and link priority patient cohorts with clinical information, education, and community resources.
In partnership with the American Medical Group Association (AMGA), this case study demonstrates how Augusta Health uses Lightbeam’s care orchestration solution suite to improve patient outcomes and lower the total cost of care.
