Pilot studies deliver significant time savings and streamline workflows for primary care teams.

FAYETTEVILLE, NY / ACCESS Newswire / January 22, 2025 / Ursamin (ursamin.com), a healthcare technology company focused on breaking down barriers that impede effective care coordination, announces the completion of its pilot program focused on family medicine in primary care. The program demonstrates that new technology workflows streamline processes, reduce reliance on paper, and improve visibility into patient needs. This empowers clinicians to spend more time delivering patient care, leading to reduced burnout and increased physician satisfaction.

Care coordination is crucial to the future of healthcare, especially as the number of patients with multiple chronic conditions and high-risk factors continues to grow. Ensuring these patients receive timely, efficient, and cohesive care across various settings can be challenging due to fragmented healthcare systems and inaccessible data.

"As a physician with over 40 years of experience, I've always strived for patient encounters where I can give my full attention," said Dr. Roger Fowler, Family Medicine Physician and Population Health Leader. "Ursamin's platform empowers me to do just that by presenting a clear and concise picture of the patient's health journey. This allows me to quickly understand their unique needs and focus on providing the best possible care. This shared access and collaborative environment is essential for delivering efficient, high-value care that benefits patients, providers, and the entire healthcare system."

Ursamin's pilot program was conducted in three diverse primary care models, including a single practice in a large integrated delivery network, a payor-owned physician group, and a major health system. This variation allowed Ursamin to identify key areas for improvement with the greatest impact across these settings. One such area was collecting and reorganizing patient journeys into more usable views, enabling primary care physicians (PCPs) to quickly understand where patients might need help - such as intervention with conflicting care plans or support getting access to care test results demonstrated that Ursamin can dramatically reduce administrative burden (up to 60% per patient ¹), and improve visibility into patients' care journeys, facilitating timely interventions by care teams when patients need them most.

"I was impressed by Ursamin's unique approach to care coordination, and excited to participate in their pilot program," said Dr. Jill Rushton-Miller, Physician Informaticist. "With the increasing demands on primary care to adapt to the growing complexity of patient care, it's crucial to start looking at how technology can support these new workflows. As a clinician, I firmly believe that care coordination platforms are essential for the future of healthcare. Ursamin's platform demonstrated a strong understanding of our needs and a commitment to developing solutions that truly improve care delivery."

Through a combination of expanded data acquisition, analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI), the Ursamin platform streamlines care coordination workflows, leading to substantial improvements in care team efficiency, reduced physician burnout, and better patient care.

The pilot program demonstrated that Ursamin can reduce manual data entry by 50%¹, which translates to care teams saving hundreds of hours annually that can be redirected to patient care. This automation also significantly reduces administrative tasks for care coordinators, allowing them to focus on higher-value patient care activities.

"The role of primary care has never been more critical to our future, and we all win when they and their care teams are empowered," says Shannon Aylesworth, Founder and CEO of Ursamin. "At Ursamin, we're focused on making that happen by streamlining workflows and putting reliable patient data at their fingertips. This means they spend less time on paperwork and more time on giving their patients the best possible care."

The growing volume of patients with multiple chronic conditions and their associated data create significant challenges for clinicians. These challenges contribute to rising burnout rates, inadequate patient access to care, and soaring costs. The need for efficient care coordination has never been greater. Ursamin's platform tackles these challenges for primary care with tools like comprehensive whole-patient dashboards, visualized patient journeys, ongoing notifications and tracking, and accountability mapping, ensuring patients don't get lost in transitions.
