Celéri Health Platform. Version: 2.2 

Date: Q2, Q3 2023

Custom Assessment/Intake Builder:

Our new Custom Assessment/Intake Builder allows the Celeri team to quickly create and implement forms and questionnaires to gather specific information from your patients. This feature allows for greater flexibility and customization when collecting patient data. If you are interested in a custom assessment for your patients or a custom intake form, simply let our Client Services team know and we can discuss a design project. 

This feature exists behind the scenes and is not client-facing or client-accessible.

New SDOH Assessment:

We have added a new Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) assessment to our platform, the Health-Related Social Needs Screening Tool (HRSN).  The tool can help providers identify patients who may be at risk for poor health outcomes due to social needs and connect them with appropriate resources and support.  The HRSN assessment can also satisfy the MIPS #487 metric, Screening for Social Drivers of Health. See information about MIPS #487 here.  

Body Map with Pain History Assessment:

Our Body Map with Pain History Assessment feature allows patients to visually identify areas of pain or discomfort on a digital image of the human body, as well as provide a pain history for each affected area. This feature provides a more accurate and detailed representation of a patient’s symptoms, which can help healthcare providers diagnose and treat conditions more effectively.  The Body Map with Pain History can be added to your new patient assessment pathway for data gathering along with PROMIS-29, it can be added to any follow-up automatic engagement or manually added from the Celéri desktop at any time.

Area Deprivation Index (ADI):

We have incorporated the University of Wisconsin’s Neighborhood Atlas® Area Deprivation Index (ADI) into our platform. This tool helps healthcare providers evaluate a patient’s level of social and economic deprivation based on their address. The ADI can help identify patients who may be at higher risk for certain health conditions and inform treatment plans. If available, the ADI score (ranging from 0 to 10) will be displayed in the header of the PRO report.

Advice for using the ADI in your pain practice:

The Area Deprivation Index (ADI) is a measure of socioeconomic deprivation at the neighborhood level, which can have a significant impact on a patient’s health and wellbeing. As a pain physician, incorporating the ADI into your treatment of patients can help you better understand and address the social determinants of health that may affect their pain experience and management. Here are some ways to integrate ADI into your practice:

Assess individual patient risk: Use the ADI to evaluate the socioeconomic context of each patient. Consider how factors such as income, education, employment, and housing quality may influence their pain experience, adherence to treatment, and overall health outcomes.

Tailor treatment plans: Customize treatment plans to address the specific needs and challenges faced by patients living in areas with high deprivation. This may involve considering alternative treatments, providing additional support, or adjusting medication plans.

Address barriers to care: Recognize and address potential barriers to care, such as transportation, financial constraints, and limited access to healthcare facilities or specialists. Offer flexible appointment times, provide information on local resources, and consider referring patients to social services if needed.

Collaborate with other providers: Work with other healthcare providers, such as social workers, mental health professionals, and case managers, to address the social determinants of health that may affect pain management. Collaborative care can help improve patient outcomes and overall wellbeing.

Educate and empower patients: Provide patients with information about their condition, pain management strategies, and the importance of adhering to treatment plans. Empower them to take an active role in managing their pain by offering self-management tools and resources.

Advocate for resources: Advocate for increased resources and support for patients living in deprived areas, such as better access to healthcare services, improved transportation options, and initiatives to address social determinants of health.

Research and quality improvement: Utilize ADI data in research and quality improvement efforts to better understand the relationship between socioeconomic factors and pain outcomes. This information can help identify areas for improvement and inform targeted interventions.

Incorporating the ADI into your pain management practice can help you address the unique challenges faced by patients living in socioeconomically deprived areas, leading to more personalized and effective care.

Disclaimer for the ADI Report:

The report contains data and information related to the Area Deprivation Index (ADI) and is intended to provide an overview of the socioeconomic factors affecting specific geographic areas. The ADI is a valuable tool for understanding the social determinants of health and their potential impact on patient outcomes. However, it is important to consider the following limitations and precautions when interpreting and using the information provided in this report:

Data limitations: The ADI is based on available socioeconomic data from various sources, which may be subject to inaccuracies, inconsistencies, or incomplete information. Consequently, the ADI values and rankings presented in this report should be considered as estimates and may not capture the full extent of deprivation in a given area.

Geographic boundaries: The ADI is calculated at the neighborhood level, which may not accurately represent the specific circumstances and living conditions of individual residents. Additionally, socioeconomic conditions can vary within neighborhoods, and the ADI may not capture these smaller-scale variations.

Causality and correlation: While the ADI can help identify areas with higher levels of socioeconomic deprivation, it does not establish causality between deprivation and health outcomes. The relationship between socioeconomic factors and health is complex, and the ADI should be used in conjunction with other sources of information to gain a comprehensive understanding of the factors affecting patient outcomes.

Contextual factors: The ADI provides an important perspective on socioeconomic deprivation but does not account for all factors that may influence health outcomes. Other determinants, such as individual behaviors, genetics, and environmental factors, should also be considered when interpreting the results of this report.

Ethical considerations: The use of the ADI should be carried out with sensitivity to the potential stigmatization of communities or individuals based on their socioeconomic status. It is essential to respect privacy and confidentiality while using this information for research, planning, or policy development.

By acknowledging these limitations and considerations, users of this report can responsibly apply the ADI data to inform their understanding of the relationship between socioeconomic deprivation and health outcomes, ultimately supporting more equitable healthcare delivery and policy development.

Pain Command Center:

Our new Data Visualization Dashboard, The Pain Command Center (PCC), can be accessed directly from the Celeri Dashboard. The PCC allows practices to visualize data collected through the platform to quickly identify trends and patterns in patient data, leading to more informed treatment decisions.

Clients can access the Command Center at any time. We suggest monitoring the Command Center for practice or program strategic planning, vendor evaluation, market strategies, payer negotiation, pain hotspotting and more.

Procedure Effectiveness offers our clients a dynamic mechanism to compare intervention types.  If our client integration with your EMR/EHR is deep enough, we can further stratify the Effectiveness by appointment type to include device types or manufacturers utilized in your practice.
