Success Stories & ROI

Clinical decision support technology has enabled automatic inclusion of risk results in the health system's reports. Among many other improvements, the ability to stratify patients earlier and more accurately allows staff to provide additional care before cancer is detected.

The technology it's using to reach patients has not only improved clinical outcomes but is also providing tangible financial benefits, while ensuring patients can easily access the care they need.

Compared with patients not using virtual care, patients using telehealth for knee replacement rehabilitation recover faster, report significantly less pain, show greater improvements in range of motion – and incur $2,460 less in total care costs.

The health system's cloud migration team took learnings from the effort and spun them out into OptaFi, which offers best practices and technical capabilities for moving Epic EHR workloads from on-premise to the cloud. Sentara's CTO gives an inside look.
