Availity and Connective Health’s Collaboration Enhances Clinical Data Quality to Deliver Meaningful Clinical Insights to Providers through Availity Fusion

Availity®, the nation’s leading real-time information network, announces its strategic collaboration with Connective Health, a company focused on empowering providers through interoperability and analytics. Connective Health is utilizing Availity Fusion™, an automated data transformation engine, to improve the quality of its clinical data and create more precise patient care summaries for primary care and virtual specialty care providers.

Connective Health’s cutting-edge interoperability service processes approximately 300,000 medical documents each week from tens of thousands of different healthcare sites. With Availity Fusion, this data is ingested and parsed through Availity’s sophisticated API-based technology engine. The system is designed to normalize clinical data to national standards, enrich it with valuable metadata for efficient analytics, and reorganize it into expected clinical sections. Additionally, Availity Fusion helps eliminate redundancy by deduplicating and summarizing information.

After Availity Fusion transforms the clinical data into Upcycled Data™, Connective Health employs advanced analytics to produce concise, one-page patient care summaries that highlight key clinical insights. These summaries are integrated into providers' existing workflows, offering easy access to recent updates in a patient’s medical history.

The Upcycled Data provided by Availity Fusion and the comprehensive, curated medical information provided by Connective Health resulted in the following improvements¹ for Connective Health’s provider customers:

• Data Processing Scale: Availity Fusion has successfully upcycled and processed over 1 million clinical documents per month for Connective Health, providing comprehensive patient data without delays or workflow interruption.
• Streamlined Data Presentation: Connective Health collects and consolidates hundreds of pages of records to provide physicians with a concise medical summary, making critical information easily accessible in a clean, useful format.
• Identification of Undiagnosed Conditions: Utilizing Availity Fusion’s automated data transformation engine, Connective Health identifies critical missing information, such as missing chronic or severe recent acute diagnoses for 35% of patients and presents summarized information to support these findings.
• Closing Gaps in Care: By delivering high-quality medical information and more complete data for reporting, Connective Health helps providers close a significant amount of quality care gaps.
• Time and Cost Savings for Providers: Connective Health’s summaries reduce record-gathering time by 50%, shortening the process from two weeks to under an hour, saving costs and reducing patient frustration.​​​
