About TEL
Touch Every Life ? (TEL) is a chronic care registry with specifications to improve care
for various conditions. TEL provides the information support needed to implement
elements of the chronic care model in order to improve patient care.
The registry was initially piloted in an internal medicine private practice, and
enhancements have been made to facilitate workflow within the offices, including the
ability to interface with a central lab to import data electronically. The flow sheet allows
for evidence based guidelines to be embedded in the care process and was designed to
mirror rather than dictate the flow of the patient/physician interaction.
As payers and employers look to healthcare providers to implement systems of care
that provide improved clinical outcomes, TEL has provided the means of moving in that
direction. We are hopeful that TEL will give you a jump-start in this process, putting
you ahead of the curve as payers present opportunities relative to reimbursement and
as coalition sponsored quality scoring becomes more prevalent. We plan to expand the
features of TEL to allow for its use with other chronic illnesses.
