NAT IONAL DIALOGUE FOR<br />
Healthcare Innovation<br />
Texas & Central Texas Divisions, as well as those used<br />
by multiple joint venture partners. This connection<br />
provides a more complete view at the point of care,<br />
allowing the care provider to make informed decisions<br />
to deliver high-value care.<br />
The program also adds value by aggregating data for<br />
analytics, enabling Baylor Scott & White to manage<br />
populations by focusing on outcomes, driving down<br />
cost, and supporting wellness and prevention activities<br />
to focus on value-based care. In terms of cost reduction,<br />
the system has seen anecdotal savings from a<br />
reduced number of diagnostic tests ordered.<br />
Path Forward<br />
The biggest barriers facing initiatives such as Mosaic<br />
are technical barriers of interoperability between data<br />
collection standards and electronic medical record<br />
(EMR) systems, as well as the high cost. Policies that<br />
would help offset the upfront costs for providers would<br />
support implementation and use of these programs.<br />
Also, the adoption of interoperability standards would<br />
be helpful in moving these programs forward.<br />
Baylor Scott & White will continue to expand the Mosaic<br />
program as new joint ventures and acquisitions arise,<br />
connecting all systems within the network. The ultimate<br />
goal of Mosaic is to connect systems where the health<br />
system’s core EMR products cannot be used, in order<br />
to ensure that all sites of care have access to the full<br />
spectrum of patients’ data.<br />
