How HELIOS Improves & Automates Care Management

HELIOS is designed to intelligently automate and streamline care management processes, member prioritization, and even outreach and communications. HELIOS has the industry’s most configurable rules engines and most flexible platform design (90% configurable out-of-the-box). This allows clients to set up specific criteria and rules that will trigger a workflow to automate a specific activity.

Some of the things HELIOS’ rules engines and highly configurable workflows enable healthcare payors to do:

1. Quickly and easily identify high-risk members such as those with chronic diseases or who are becoming at risk of similar conditions and need preventive intervention.
2. Automate care plan elements and generate care plans populated based on things like assessment response and risk scores, as well as other ingested data.
3. Automate the generation of clinical messages and documentation including letters.
4. Auto-generate and assign tasks and members to specific users.
5. Auto-generate notifications, flags, and suggested care plan adjustments.
6. Automatically suggest or send assessments for members to complete, including the automatic generation of reminders.
7. Automatically rank members to help individual care managers prioritize outreach and tasks effectively and target high-need members first.

We can keep going on, but these are just a sampling of the automations powered by HELIOS. You can learn more about and see HELIOS in action here if you want.
