PicassoMD and Eventus WholeHealth Announce Partnership to set a new standard in healthcare innovation and patient-centered services for individuals in long-term care settings PicassoMD, Inc., a platform that connects healthcare providers for real-time clinical decision support, referrals, and care coordination, and Eventus WholeHealth, the country’s leading provider of primary care and mental health services for medically vulnerable adults, are proud to announce a new partnership that will enable their strategic clinical care teams to connect with local and remote specialists in real-time. PicassoMD and Eventus WholeHealth share a common goal of making access to healthcare available to those who are medically vulnerable. Co-founded by a cardiologist, PicassoMD has revolutionized the way Primary Care Providers (PCPs) deliver care. The platform enables PCPs to access real-time clinical consultations with specialists across more than 30 specialties in under 30 seconds, significantly improving patient outcomes and reducing costs. Additionally, if a referral is necessary, PicassoMD helps seamlessly transition the patient from the PCP to a local specialist, ensuring continuity of care and enhancing patient satisfaction. This partnership has already shown impressive results for Eventus patients: * 70% of Emergency Department (ED) visits were avoided. * 77% of specialist referrals were avoided. * 70% of cases saw a change in clinical behavior based on real-time specialist input. * The average time to connect with a specialist was just 12 seconds. "Through our strategic partnership, Eventus WholeHealth and PicassoMD are setting a new standard in healthcare innovation for individuals in long-term care," said Dr. Reza Sanai, founder and Co-CEO of PicassoMD. "We are dedicated to enhancing patient outcomes and streamlining care coordination, demonstrating our commitment to transforming healthcare with compassion and excellence." “Eventus’ partnership with PicassoMD has been amazing! It allows our clinicians to securely message specialty providers for consultation about difficult cases. I’ve personally connected with various specialists and within minutes had a plan of care to implement the same day. This app enables real-time patient treatment instead of waiting months for an appointment,” said Cathy Parker, NP, VP of Value Based Care Outcomes at Eventus WholeHealth. “These curbside consults directly affect value-based care by providing real-time solutions, coordinating care, and decreasing ER transfers, leading to better quality and cost-effective care for our patients.”

"The following capabilities make ZeOmega’s SDOH Social Care Platform very unique compared to other solutions in the same arena: 1. Sophisticated Analytics: The SDOH Social Care Platform enables payers to investigate entire populations using filters such as geography, social needs, clinical acuity, and utilization burdens. This allows users to identify cohorts with severe social vulnerabilities and design tailored social programs to maximize ROI. 2. Outcome Tracking: ZeOmega’s analytics track the outcomes of social programs over time. SDOH Social Care measures impacts on key metrics like PMPY, ED visits, total cost, and improvements in living situations for each cohort. This streamlines regulatory reporting and helps in measuring the success of initiatives. 3. Bi-Directional FHIR® Integration: The SDOH Social Care Platform offers bi-directional FHIR integration with major social care referral networks nationwide. This feature enables closed-loop referrals without leaving the Jiva system, ensuring seamless communication and coordination. 4. Leveraging Traditional Case Management Functions: The powerful platform integrates seamlessly with traditional case management functions in the Jiva PHM system. This allows for embedding health equity activities like social needs identification, interventions, and reporting into existing and familiar workflows. Social workers and care managers benefit from increased efficiency without needing to switch systems. 5. Modular and Flexible Design: The SDOH Social Care Platform features a modular design with robust API connection points that fit into existing health IT stacks. This allows payers to retain current analytics, case management, and other systems, while only adding newly needed functionalities. ZeOmega’s SDOH Social Care Platform is designed to empower healthcare organizations with comprehensive tools to manage social determinants of health effectively and efficiently." ~ Rakshith Yashvanth, Sr. Product Manager of AI and Advanced Analytics, ZeOmega
