Scaling Continuity of Care: Overcoming Operational Roadblocks

Delivering personalized care requires more than good intentions; it demands efficient back-end systems and tech-forward structures. Here’s how Matrix Medical Network tackles key logistical challenges, such as scheduling, follow-ups and reporting. So our clinicians, a network of nurse practitioners and physician assistants, can focus on what they do best: delivering whole-person care to their patients.

Built-In Safety and Team Supports

The Challenge

• Clinician burnout from isolation in the field
• Safety concerns when visiting unfamiliar settings

The Matrix Solution

Matrix’s Lone Worker Safety Program offers safety check-ins, SOS features and incident alerts to a supportive central team. This operational layer ensures:

• Clinician safety is a given, not an afterthought
• Clinicians feel supported, leading to better job satisfaction
  Retention remains high, which directly supports continuity of care
  

“Support from managers here at Matrix is phenomenal. You need to be independent. However, you will always have a manager, a team lead, and you will always have somebody that you’re able to go to for help.”

Scheduling That Works for Patients and Clinicians

The Challenge

• Assigning clinicians to members across large, varied geographies
• Balancing clinician availability with patient location, travel constraints, and case acuity

The Matrix Solution

Matrix’s expansive network of nearly 3,000+ board-certified clinicians empowers them to build schedules that balance case load and personal preferences. This flexibility:

• Ensures visits aren’t cramped into short time windows
• Supports comprehensive 45–60 minute at-home assessments
• Empowers clinicians to live near or travel to patients, minimizing cancellations
  

Together, efficient scheduling and work-life balance allow clinicians to optimize their day, leading to higher completion rates and more meaningful patient interactions.

Streamlined Reporting and Seamless Data Sharing

The Challenge

• Compiling data from thousands of clinicians
• Communicating clinical findings back to care teams

The Matrix Solution

Matrix empowers clinicians with technology-enabled processes that simplify documentation and reduce administrative burden. Each in-home visit generates key insights that are:

• Captured efficiently through an integrated digital platform, minimizing paperwork and streamlining workflows
• Faster and more consistent translations of visit insights into actionable data, supporting care teams and partners
• Integrated into the broader care journey, identifying risks that require attention or follow-up
  

By combining digital tools with hands-on support, Matrix transforms at-home visits into coordinated, proactive care, helping prevent avoidable ER visits and unplanned hospitalizations.

Follow-Up and Engagement Challenges are Managed Successfully

The Challenge

• Tracking incomplete care plans post-visit
• Ensuring timely check-ins for high-risk patients

The Matrix Solution

Matrix’s technology platform keeps care plans, reminders and follow-up tasks organized, simplifying clinician workflows and reducing the risk of missed actions to ensure:

• Effective follow-through on medication reconciliation
• SDOH support and bridging care gaps
• Timely scheduling of post-visit check-ins
  

“A good day is when I go home, and the patient has a question that I can answer. They have gaps in care that I can help with. It’s rewarding for them, but it’s also very rewarding for me.”
