Interwell Health is a value-based kidney care management company that joins hands with other clinicians to revolutionize the kidney care industry. On January 9th, the company added eight new practices in the past year to Epic EMR Software’s Acumen Connect platform, an electronic health records software system for nephrology practices.
Aim of Epic EHR Software Configuration?
The Epic Electronic Medical Records (EMR) Software configuration for nephrology practices aims to boost care collaboration between nephrology practices, dialysis centers, and hospitals to make way for value-based care.
The Acumen Epic Connect EHR system helps nephrology practices run efficiently and smoothly and handle all challenges associated with value-based care. The software has robust features of EHR, Practice Management (PM) Software and the MyChart Patient Portal platform.

Benefits of the Acumen Epic Connect EMR Software
All nephrology practice professionals can securely access patient information thanks to the HIPAA-compliant EHR software. On a single screen, it displays their most recent clinical reports, graphics, and other relevant data.
One of Acumen Epic Connect EMR Software’s most noteworthy features is its user-friendly interface. With its streamlined design and simple navigation, the application ensures that medical staff can quickly review patient records, saving valuable time and reducing administrative expenses. With a few mouse clicks, medical professionals may access crucial data, assess trends, and produce comprehensive reports, improving treatment outcomes and diagnostic accuracy.
Robust analytics tools are present in the Epic Connect Software to give actionable data which is the foundation to smoothly transition to a value-based care model. Furthermore, the interoperability options in the software system support the seamless exchange of critical patient data between nephrology practices to support high-quality patient care.
Importance of Value-based Care in Nephrology Practices
Value-based care is especially important in nephrology practices because it turns the focus away from the quantity of services delivered and toward the overall quality and outcomes of patient care. In nephrology, where chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) require continuing management, a value-based care strategy focuses on preventative strategies, early intervention, and patient engagement to improve outcomes while lowering healthcare costs.
