Wipro Technologies, the global Information Technology, consulting and outsourcing business of Wipro Limited on Thursday announced the launch of its nextgen care management olution for the US healthcare market, specifically aimed at primary care physicians and healthcare providers.

The objectives of the Wipro solution are aligned with the United States' Medical Home and Accountable Care Organisation (ACO) programme to enable personalised, affordable and quality care, the Bangalore-headquartered, the New York Stock Exchange-listed company said in a statement.

The solution enables physicians to drive patient participation in devising a personalised care plan with defined care goals, treatment plan and health improvement activities, it said.

The built-in collaboration platform in the solution uses tools such as sms, chat, alerts, reminders, activity workflows and helps in reducing cost by avoiding treatment overlaps, multiple clinical tests or hospitalisation, the company said.

"The solution?s compatibility with devices such as Smartphones, Tablet PCs and integration with remote patient monitoring devices ensure access to patient medical records at the point of care, for proactive and preventive care delivery", it said.

The solution provides performance analytics to help in developing an outcome driven and quality focused healthcare culture, the statement added.

Mohd Haque, Vice President, Healthcare Vertical, Wipro Technologies,said "Wipro?s solution is capable of transforming the current reactive, episodic, fragmented care delivery system into a foundation of partnership between payer, provider and patient to co-manage, monitor and measure delivery of care."
