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 />
