Utah-based Intermountain Health is partnering with behavioral health technology company NeuroFlow to identify and triage behavioral health risk within Intermountain’s primary care population and improve the efficiency of its integrated care programs.
NeuroFlow said its technology and analytics infrastructure is designed for enterprise-level scale and efficiency. The health system will leverage NeuroFlow’s Integrated Care solution to support populations in Colorado.
“In order to have the best outcomes for patients with behavior health needs, we need an effective and seamless tool to systematically understand the acuity and complexity of their conditions in order to provide the most effective treatments and supports,” said Tammer Attallah, M.B.A., L.C.S.W., Intermountain Health Behavioral Health Clinical Program executive director, in a statement. “NeuroFlow can help our primary care providers accomplish this critical task at scale, while removing unnecessary administrative burden.”
NeuroFlow will integrate behavioral health analytics into care workflows and engage patients with relevant digital behavioral health resources and high-touch interventions. In addition to population-wide behavioral health identification and support, NeuroFlow will provide suicide prevention services to Intermountain Health patients and provide outreach from trained crisis professionals.
“Capturing accurate behavioral health data at scale can be incredibly challenging, particularly when organizations rely on in-person screenings alone,” says Jeremy Kreyling, senior vice president of healthcare informatics at NeuroFlow, in a statement. “We built this platform to engage patients through a variety of digital touchpoints and leverage sophisticated AI analysis to understand acuity in real time. Having actionable population insights unlocks new opportunities for organizations like Intermountain to increase enrollment and engagement in integrated care programs, with an added layer of outreach for patients experiencing suicide ideation.”
NeuroFlow said its core competencies – upstream behavioral health risk identification, suicide prevention, and expertise in clinical integration – increase access to care by overcoming systemic challenges in healthcare ecosystems and provides organizations like Intermountain a way to supercharge their existing, proven programs. With a deep understanding of population behavioral health needs, Intermountain can more effectively triage populations in need and deliver care as efficiently as possible.
