Efficiency of Care for the Chronically Ill

Coordinating patient care is not easy.  When the clinical community is dealing with chronically ill patients it is even harder.  There are more tests to order and review; more people to consult and more paperwork to complete.   Although costs of managing chronically ill patients are significant, these patients only receive half the recommended level of care.

• Because more than half of the time, patients fail to adhere to prescribed treatment; 
• Because physicians are not incented to proactively coordinate the care;
• And because information about treatment adherence is not routinely available.

RMD’s Collaborative Care Network is used to empower smarter communications.

• Aggregate data from multiple sources
• Present information in an actionable format to physicians
• Enable quick & timely interventions
• Present information to patients to track prescribed treatment plans & self-monitor care
• Connect multiple caregivers to coordinate care
• Reward physicians for collaboration

The net effect is to improve coordination, enable timely interventions, enhance the effectiveness of care and reduce costs.
