Collective Medical, a PointClickCare Company, empowers physicians, nurses, and other care providers to focus on the patient right in front of them, improving the quality and efficiency of patient care through actionable real-time notifications.
Overview
Collective Medical’s nationwide network of engaged care team members offers transparency for providers through patient histories, ADT information, and collaborative care plans—identifying vulnerable patients in real-time and helping care teams address their needs at the point-of-care—in more than half of U.S. states.
Collective helps providers across the country address key issues like substance use disorder, value-based care optimization, collaboration with behavioral health, workplace violence prevention, and ED optimization. It serves all points of care, supporting care teams across emergent, in-patient, post-acute, mental and behavioral, and ambulatory settings, as well as stakeholders in ACOs and health plans.
Use of the Collective network has been proven to reduce avoidable hospital admissions and readmissions, reduce avoidable ED visits by identified frequent users, reduce unnecessary opioid prescriptions, increase savings and improve provider satisfaction.
