The University awarded a contract for MOTION software to increase patient activation to The Data Guild, LLC, Palo Alto, CA, for an estimated $650,000.
The Data Guild, LLC will Configure and implement MOTION software to increase patient activation for the Coordinated Healthcare for Complex Kids (CHECK) program.
The Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) has awarded a three year grant to UIC Pediatrics to create the Coordinated Healthcare for Complex Kids (CHECK) program at UIC.
The Data Guild's software (Motion) and associated services are uniquely adapted to the CHECK deliverables listed above and provide contextually appropriate, highlly personalized messaging and interventions to patients autonomously. Motion software is designed to apply advanced machine learning algorithms to large datasets aggregated from provider claims files and multiple CHECK systems already in place (eg. Care Coordination software called Consensus, Purple Binder-an application developed by a private firm to identify all available social resources in Cook County, MyTAPP mobile applications-a proprietary application designed to use texting to increase patient engagement, and the Care coordination model which uses Care Coordinators, mental health staff, and Community Health Workers) and specializes in automating processes in order to save time for the care coordination team which allows for higher caseloads and promotes susatainability. Additionally, Motion is also designed to increase engagement by using patient demographic information and response patterns to improve contact success rates. Finally, the software applies proprietary, predictive modelling strategies to all patient data including claims in order to make risk stratification assignments. Giving the care coordination team more automated processes, better patient contact response rates, and risk stratification will improve patient activation, reduce program costs, and result in fewer hospitalizations and ED visits, which are the major aims of the CHECK program.
The University has determined that this purchase is only economically available from this source because the procurement is software license, upgrade or maintenance.
