TAO Digital Solutions:  Pioneering Healthcare’s Digital Transformation

The healthcare sector stands at the precipice of a digital transformation. Recent surveys show that 87 percent of patients now expect convenient access to a continuum of care, including care anytime, anywhere, along with seamless coordination, proactive treatment, and positive clinical outcomes. However, over 70 percent of healthcare organizations still rely on fragmented, legacy systems that confine patient data in silos, severely impeding efficient workflows, analysis, and care coordination. Without a consolidated view of the patient journey, providers lack the holistic insights needed to enable preventative and predictive care. There is an urgent need for platforms that close these gaps by integrating data into actionable insights that drive the healthcare of tomorrow.

In addition, hospitals lose an estimated $200,000 in revenue annually when patients cancel or reschedule appointments at the last minute, leaving procedure rooms and other resources underutilized. Intelligent optimization of staff and assets based on integrated data can maximize utilization and, therefore, revenues. Tao Digital’s Tree of Health platform meets these needs by unifying disconnected systems to enable continuous, coordinated care while optimizing operations through data-driven decision-making.

TREE OF HEALTH: DRIVING PROACTIVE CARE DELIVERY

Enter TAO Digital Solutions, whose Tree of Health family of solutions is spearheading this transformation. Tree of Health solutions integrate once-disconnected technologies into a unified, omnichannel view of the patient journey through modern technologies and real-time data streaming. Providers leverage Tree of Health solutions, where proprietary algorithms structure, normalize, and map health information from IoMT devices, EHRs, and transactions using FHIR standards for data-driven clinical decisions. This interconnectivity provides the holistic visibility needed to drive proactive, coordinated care.

Amidst a dynamic regulatory environment, Tree of Health solutions also prioritize strict compliance with regulations like HIPAA and PCI DSS through role-based access controls, end-to-end encryption, and detailed auditing, safeguarding sensitive healthcare and transaction data. After implementing Tree of Health solutions, healthcare organizations noticed increased confidence in patient data security and compliance while enabling better-coordinated care.

DELIVERING SEAMLESS OMNICHANNEL PATIENT EXPERIENCES WITH HERMX

A marquee solution offered by Tree of Health is HeRMx, which enables integrated virtual, in-person, and remote continuum of care from patient engagement or pre-counter to encounter to post-encounter. HeRMx aggregates real-time data from telehealth consult notes, in-person visits, wearables, remote monitoring biometrics, and more into a singular timeline for each patient. Sophisticated machine learning algorithms extract clinically relevant insights from this consolidated data to accurately identify gaps in care and prevent adverse events.

HeRMx incorporates predictive analytics to forecast complications and avoid unnecessary hospital utilization based on past patterns. For example, one major health system leveraged HeRMx to reduce avoidable ER visits by 40 percent and increase patient satisfaction by 38 percent through proactive outreach triggered by changes in vital signs after discharge. Their hospital readmission rates also dropped by 33 percent through better care coordination.

DRIVING PROACTIVE POPULATION HEALTH THROUGH HEIOT

Another pioneering solution enabling proactive care is HeIoT, TAO’s Internet of Medical Things solution. HeIoT securely aggregates real-time streaming data from wearables, in-home monitors, sensors, and other 500+ connected devices at scale. Advanced edge analytics generate clinically relevant insights to detect subtle early warning signs of complications across patient populations.

Health providers saw a 28 percent improvement in health outcomes by leveraging HeIoT to analyze remote monitoring biometrics and enable preventative interventions before conditions escalated. By tapping into IoMT data, they have been able to predict exacerbations early and avoid unnecessary hospital transfers.

  • With compliance to HIPAA and PCI DSS regulations, our systems ensure confidentiality and protection of sensitive patient data and transaction data. Its cloud agnostic design offers flexibility, allowing healthcare providers to operate in any commercially available cloud or a single data center


ENHANCING DIAGNOSTICS THROUGH AI

Tree of Health also aims to optimize clinical diagnostics and imaging workflows through the HeAlx suite of solutions. HeAlx leverages artificial intelligence techniques to automate repetitive, low-value tasks involved in the analysis of medical images, digital pathology slides, and other clinical diagnostics modalities. This enables clinicians to focus their expertise on higher value activities like interpreting results and producing actionable results that bring a positive outcome benefit for the patient.

Leading healthcare systems using HeAlx have increased diagnostic accuracy by up to 23 percent while accelerating turnaround times by 17 percent through AI augmentation of imaging workflows.

HeAlx also provides tools for labeling and annotating data to continuously improve AI accuracy. By combining clinical knowledge with the efficiency of AI, the HeAlx solutions from Tree of Health bring state-of-the-art diagnostics and enhanced decision-making capabilities within reach for healthcare organizations.

OPTIMIZING HOSPITAL OPERATIONS AND RESOURCES

In the realm of hospital resource management, including operating and procedure rooms, Tree of Health offers solutions such as HeOps, encompassing a diverse array of optimization techniques applicable for enhancing the care process and delivering increased value to the provider. HeOps optimizes hospital workflows by integrating with existing EMR systems and applying automation. HeOps streamlines efficient patient journeys, operating room scheduling and utilization, and bed assignments to boost utilization and lower costs. One health system increased surgery volume by 20 percent and reduced length of stay by 22 percent using HeOps hospital optimization.

TRANSFORMING CLAIMS PROCESSING AND REVENUE CYCLES

Tree of Health also transforms payer operations through solutions like HePax, which automates revenue cycle management functions using robotic process automation and AI. For a large regional health system, HePax accelerated claims processing by 22 percent and reduced billing errors by 19 percent through increased automation and intelligence. This enables more efficient reimbursement and cash flow across the care continuum.

PIONEERING THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE

“Tree of Health solutions are leading the digital transformation of healthcare by enabling the data-driven, value of care delivery models of the future,” said TAO Digital Solutions CEO Rajkumar Velagapudi.

By consolidating data, automating workflows, and generating actionable insights across the care continuum, TAO’s Tree of Health suite marks the next frontier in elevating healthcare through technology. TAO is pioneering solutions that will one day enable the transition to truly preventative, personalized care.

TAO is empowering healthcare organizations today to unlock the tremendous potential of digital technology and provide the highest quality care possible. By streamlining workflows, optimizing operations, increasing accessibility, and offering a total continuum of care for patients, TAO’s solutions such as the Tree of Health suite pave the way for the future of preventative and personalized care.
