Situation

At the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH), data from Managed Care Organizations (MCO) was largely kept in spreadsheets and scattered across multiple silos, with reporting and collaboration via SharePoint. LDH sought user-friendly reporting capabilities and streamlined approval workflows to ensure better outcomes and reporting.

LDH required a unified, automated, best-in-class platform to reduce manual processes, leverage workflow and automation capabilities, and increase MCO self-service features to upload and track routine reports.

Additional improvements sought by LDH included:

  • Sharing information with internal and external users with a single view of a patient’s medical records
  • A user-friendly interface including robust reporting analytics, dashboards, and report tracking
  • Configuration to enable uploading and tracking of routine reports and ensure document contract compliance
  • Streamlined report approval processes with multiple approvers

AST’s implementation of the Salesforce platform helped LDH increase its dashboarding and reporting capability, automate workflows, and enable multi-level approval processes with better collaboration and communication tools.”
