"Our Specialty Referral Optimization solution is transforming the way healthcare systems manage referrals, increase capacity, ensuring patients receive the right care at the right time.

How Specialty Referral Optimization by Care Continuity Works

Care Continuity's Specialty Referral Optimization solution leverages machine learning to prioritize patients for navigation based on their clinical needs and characteristics as well as the health system's goals and network dynamics.

When a specialist referral is initiated, Navigator Predict ingests information about the referral, including the clinical history and demographics, as well as details of the health system's network dynamics. These datapoints, along with more than 50 weighted navigation variables are analyzed by our machine learning models to assign a Navigation Score to each patient receiving a referral for use in prioritizing cases for navigation.

While all patients who enter the Navigator Predict pool receive assistance, the prediction score allows for better prioritization and navigation workflows that are customized for each individual patient. This approach to specialty referral management is 3.5x more effective than traditional efforts and is proven to improve patient throughput and optimize capacity.
