2. Solution Overview
 High Level Solution Description:
• Problem and medication specific patient education, delivered via mobile app, and
shareable with caregivers. Education is focused on the transition of care from hospital to
the ambulatory setting, with the goal of preventing readmission. Education is easily
customized to better align recommendations with actual practice, and incorporates text
to speech so patients can hear the mobile application speak to them which has a greater
likelihood of comprehension versus plain text for patient’s to read.
 Healthcare/Business problem addressed:
• 1300 hospitals in the US received a penalty of up to 2% (over $900M)as part of the
Medicare Value Based Purchasing initiative. Among the many metrics related to quality,
is patient satisfaction, and hospital readmission rates. Often, health literacy is an
obstacle to better patient understanding of discharge instructions that might prevent
readmission, and this mobile app hopes to address this issue.
 The application developed addresses the following category:
 Applications that improve management of high cost chronic diseases.
X Innovative approaches to addressing value-based care imperatives.
 Both

3. Usability and Design
 Problem specific patient education is prescribed along with all discharge
orders by the physician. Upon placement of order, the EHR will send the
patient’s problem and medication list to the mobile app
 Patient is provided with a “Prescription” for education containing URL,
Username (their email), and Password
 In addition to problem and medication specific education, the mobile app
will include transition of care tools, such a provider directory to receive
follow up specialty care

8. Why this solution be selected!
 This solution not only addresses an important indicator of hospital care
quality (readmission rates), most importantly it will help overcome
health literacy challenges, and empower patients (as well as their care
partners) with knowledge to better manage their own medical conditions.
In fact, because it is easily viewed and shared with mobile devices, it is
quite possible that this might facilitate participation of care management
but an ederly patient’s younger family members (children and
grandchildren) providing them with knowledge to care for their loved
ones, as well as insight to help prevent disease in themselves and
immediate family.
