Integrated Care Management (ICM) System

Clinical treatment guidelines, cost and utilization data, and electronic patient case files are all housed in our state-of-the-art, proprietary web-based information system. 

Care Managers use the system to record and monitor each activity related to the patient's care. The ICM System measures treatment progress against Matria's oncology treatment guidelines.

The ICM System, backed up by a high-end data warehouse, generates comprehensive, real-time reports monitoring a wide array of clinical and financial outcomes. These include patient re-hospitalizations, side-effects, remission rates, patient and physician satisfaction, and over 20 clinical performance measures-invaluable for assessing the performance of providers and facilities, and for controlling future costs.

Treatment Guidelines: Optimizing Clinical Decisions

Improved clinical care leads to cost savings. That's why our comprehensive treatment guidelines are based on the latest research and practice evidence.

Physicians dedicated more than 20,000 hours to create Matria's treatment guidelines. They are validated by a consensus of community and academic-based oncologists, continuously updated in monthly Guideline Committee Meetings, and ratified by our Clinical Advisory Board, which is made up of national oncology experts.

Based on the cancer site and stage, the treatment guidelines detail the most efficacious and cost-effective treatment plan, ensuring that the patient receives the right care, at the right time, in the most appropriate setting. The guidelines are tracked in our electronic patient case file. Any proposed treatment that deviates from the "best practice" guideline prompts an intervention by a Matria medical director to ensure that the deviation is warranted.
