DataLink Launches EvokeSmartVisit: Documents In-Person and Virtual Health Assessments Helping Clients Achieve Over 80% Improvements in HCC Recapture Rates

TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DataLink Software (DataLink), a leading solution to enhance interoperability, reduce costs, improve quality scores and ensure risk adjustment accuracy, announces the launch of Evoke360’s EvokeSmartVisit (ESV) module to document in-person and virtual health assessments. This module assists providers with documenting annual health assessments as required by CMS to ensure reimbursement for Medicare Advantage patients and offers a telehealth capability to enhance the patient experience by eliminating barriers related to access to care.

“ESV helps providers by alerting them to potential co-morbidities and suspected, current and historical health conditions, with documentation needed to complete a compliant health record,” says Josh Hetler, executive vice president, Business Intelligence, DataLink. “Our clients have achieved ROIs as high as 7:1 and over 80% improvements in healthcare performance and outcomes using ESV. This module enforces our commitment to helping provider practices improve care quality by identifying and proactively closing gaps in care, revalidating hierarchical condition categories (HCC) data not originally captured from the patient’s medical record and creating transparency in managing utilization.”

ESV reduces the number of clicks for the provider by pre-populating the Subjective, Objective, Assessment and Plan (SOAP) note with patient health data related to the review of systems. The user-friendly format includes a checklist of items that require documentation to keep providers on track throughout the assessment.

With ESV’s telehealth module, provider practices can also schedule telehealth visits, conduct virtual patient appointments and document the patient’s health in ESV during the visit. A completed annual health assessment, whether conducted in the office or virtually, is signed by the provider as part of the patient’s medical record and can be uploaded to any EHR system.

“We designed ESV to help providers meet patient’s where they are for annual assessments and to make it easier to connect with patients,” Hetler adds. “During this critical time, we understand the value of fostering the provider-patient relationship and ensuring accuracy to help improve patient care.”
