Collective Medical has developed a network and real-time event notification and care collaboration platform in use by approximately 1,000 hospitals, tens of thousands of providers as well as every national health plan in the country. Collective connects patient data from all 50 states.

The platform and expansive network is ideally positioned to support regions' and states' ability to identify, treat, trace and analyze infection diseases, such as COVID-19.

Collective Medical is a real-time event notification and care coordination platform with a nationwide network including more than 1,000 hospitals. Collective has been asked by several federal and state-based agencies how we can support care teams and public health professionals identify, isolate, treat and trace COVID-19. Collective is exploring numerous options and is deploying, for existing client partners, the creation of a cohort for COVID-19 diagnosis, upon request and free of charge. This includes Collective's current client partners in Kentucky.

For hospitals, health systems, health plans and other health care organizations not currently using the Collective platform, Collective has developed a rapidly deployable solution with functionality...

On February 7, Deanna Parker, assistant vice president of emergency services and EMS liaison at Hardin Memorial Health, spoke at a conference with Collective Medical on the impact care collaboration has had on the patients and staff at Hardin Memorial.

Last year, Hardin partnered with Stepworks, a substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and recovery center, to help improve care outcomes for patients struggling with SUD. The partnership allows Hardin to automatically communicate with Stepworks via the Collective Medical platform when a Stepworks patient returns to the emergency department (ED), in real-time. A case manager from Stepworks can then reach out to the patient to discuss how the patient got off track and decide the best course of action...

In 2016, workplace violence cost hospitals and health systems over $1.5 billion, spent on security, training, staff turnover, medical care and absenteeism. Additionally, over 77 percent of emergency physicians believe that violence in the emergency department (ED) has harmed patient care through decreased productivity, emotional trauma and increased wait times.

Hardin Memorial Health in Elizabethtown uses Collective’s platform to address the problem. Deanna Parker, Vice President of Emergency Services says, “With Collective Medical, we can better track and record violent incidents, helping us reduce instances of workplace violence, keep staff safe and better care for our patients.”

Nearly 88 infants are diagnosed with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) daily in the U.S.

Despite being widely recognized as the most tragic victims of the opioid crisis — as it is the maternal use of opioids that causes the newborn’s opioid dependency — the specialized care necessary to manage withdrawal in a newborn often ends when that baby leaves the hospital. Post-discharge, parents take their babies back to rural communities where the hospital staff may be unaware of the newborn’s underlying illness and the risks associated with it.

Earlier this year, Highlands Regional Medical Center, in Prestonsburg, helped pioneer new functionality...

The Kentucky Hospital Association and Collective Medical Technologies are committed to supporting patients with substance use disorder (SUD) and the providers who care for them. Medication-assisted therapy and coordinating care is proven to improve outcomes. As a part of this commitment, Collective Medical is adding Kentucky SUD clinics, behavioral health practices and related treatment facilities to this growing Kentucky network.

In Elizabethtown, Stepworks Recovery Centers is now connected to Hardin Memorial Health. Through the Collective Platform, care managers from Stepworks can now collaborate with Hardin Memorial emergency department (ED) staff when a Stepworks client presents in the ED to ensure that they aren't prescribed medications that could result in a relapse.

Deron Bibb, a board of directors member at Stepworks, explains, “It can be frustrating for centers like ours when patients leave our doors, relapse and return to the hospital — and we have no way of knowing because...
