The burden of chronic diseases
Chronic diseases place a large economic burden on societies. Healthcare providers and payers must find approaches to better manage these diseases. Research show that remote care management programs can have a positive impact on the number of unplanned hospitals readmissions5, on mortality5, overall costs and patient experience6. With teamplay myCare Companion, care providers can easily set up their own programs to better manage large patient populations. The solution effectively connects care teams and patients, supports information sharing and promotes a constant patient engagement.
Connecting care teams and patients
Through a web-based platform, providers and patients share relevant health information and a dedicated smartphone app promotes a structured patient engagement.
Scaling up patients, not staff
Providers can manage large numbers of chronically ill patients smartly with worklists that display tasks and activities of the day. AI-based decision support tools7 will help staff to prioritize and orchestrate their workload8.
Keeping patients engaged
An intuitive smartphone application promotes continuous patient self-monitoring and care teams can directly reach out to their patients via text messages.
Focus on your patients – we can take care of the rest
Setting up a remote care management program requires the combination of different components to make it efficient. If required, we can help solve purchasing, maintenance and logistic challenges such as setting up connected devices for each patient.
