Empowering Value Based Care: Tandigm Health's Transformation From Web Interface Reporting to eCQM/CQM Reporting
Streamlining Healthcare Delivery and Enhancing Population Health Management
Tandigm Health, formed in 2014, is at the forefront of value-based care and population health management. Their goal is to improve people’s individual and collective health by enabling clinicians to drive change and lead the transformation of healthcare delivery to a team-based population health model. This commitment has helped the company grow to a robust team of over 260 employees with 30% clinicians, underlining its dedication to healthcare delivery.
Tiara Swindell, Senior Director of ACO Operations at Tandigm Health, has successfully guided Tandigm’s Accountable Care Organizations’ (ACOs) growth and network expansion with a focus on both strategy and operations. Tandigm’s model fosters partnerships between primary care providers, specialists and delivery systems, creating a coalition of providers who come together voluntarily to provide coordinated, high-quality care to the patients they serve. Through the framework of population health management, Tandigm is working to reshape primary care by prioritizing a team-based, patient-centered approach, preventative measures, and cost-effective care delivery.
Tandigm’s journey toward healthcare delivery transformation has not been without its challenges. As the healthcare landscape continually evolves, innovative solutions are required to maintain momentum. In response, Tandigm pioneered the shift from Web Interface Reporting Option (WI) to Alternative Payment Model Performance Pathway (APP) reporting. Tandigm stands out as one of the first 37 ACOs for the 2022 performance year to adopt this forward-thinking approach.
After a thorough evaluation, Tandigm selected Patient360 for its unmatched blend of cost-efficiency, value, quality, and functionality. Its clean compliance record, adherence to regulatory standards, and delivery of reliable, precise data sets Patient360 apart from competitors. Importantly, the user-friendly system reduces the need for provider intervention, allowing for a greater focus on patient care. Patient360’s dedication to collaboration and timely support mirrors Tandigm’s approach, aligning well with their priorities and making it an ideal choice for population health management.
