Through the efforts of more than 400 enrollment partners, in June we will hit the 400,000 mark of individuals enrolled. As enrollment in CurrentCare continues to grow, we are also expanding services, adding new sources of data and increasing provider use. CurrentCare now has nearly 70 data-

sharing partners that provide more than 90% of all RI prescription data from retail pharmacies, 90% of all lab data, and data from 100% of Rhode Island's hospitals (not including the VA). We also have telehealth and radiology reports and, in 2013, became the first statewide health information exchange (HIE) in the nation to upload behavioral health and substance abuse data.

  

CurrentCare is helping to provide better care coordination - a request by both doctors and patients. Right now, we are tracking readmission rates and the effect of CurrentCare Hospital Alerts in reducing 30-day readmissions. Preliminary results of our analysis show fewer readmissions for enrolled patients whose providers subscribe to CurrentCare's Hospital Alerts service. CurrentCare Hospital Alerts provide you with consistent, secure, real-time notification of your patients' hospital and ED admissions/discharges/transfers (ADTs), as well as patient deaths.  We encourage you to use CurrentCare Hospital Alerts to help you meet the requirements of the Medicare Transitional Care Management codes (99495 & 99496) or quality payment initiatives focused on reducing readmissions.

 

As part of our continued progress, we are making important improvements to the CurrentCare enrollment process. We will be transitioning away from paper-based enrollment forms to a more efficient online enrollment process. Online enrollment will enable you to easily enroll your patients in CurrentCare and will provide additional benefits to your practice.
