value-based care,” he says. “That is

Queen has created CareBridge, a
piece of software that draws from
multiple data sources including the
EMR, BOLT, different immunization
vendors, the FDA, the US Census Bur-
eau, and CMS Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services. “CareBridge
draws from these external data sour-
ces and combines this with our clini-
cal data to enhance what we can do,”
he says.
Part of its aim is to provide evidence-
based preventative care, something
that only eight to 15% of Americans
receive in full measure.
“For example, people with diabetes
need a hemoglobin A1C lab test at least
once a year. It’s very common for a third
to a half of diabetic patients to have not
had one in the last 12 months,” Queen says.

they walk into the room
knowing what needs to
be done”
