Hospitals

Tel-Assurance® Remote Patient Monitoring helps healthcare leaders reduce costs, increase productivity, and grow market share.

Hospitals and clinics everywhere face a looming crisis.  There is a convergence of:

1. increasing unprofitable care for the growing population with chronic conditions; and,
2. the rising cost of technology.  Today, more than ever, leaders recognize the strategic need to drive clinical transformation through initiatives to reduce inpatient costs and grow market share.

Tel-Assurance® has proven over the past decade to improve clinical and financial performance. As an example, a Pharos healthcare client won the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award.  One of their primary success factors was the use of Tel-Assurance®.  Healthcare organizations nationwide use Tel-Assurance® to improve organizational performance.

Simplicity

Each day patients place toll-free calls or log on and are welcomed by your organization’s private-labeled interactive communications portal to complete a brief survey about their health.  The patients’ survey results are immediately available for clinician review online.  Exception-based reporting expedites this review and guides intervention options. Your staff has complete control over parameter creation, data display, automatic outbound prompting, and clinical decision-making of this remote monitoring technology.

Enhanced Quality of Care

Hospital and physician group clients use Tel-Assurance® to document and track quality performance for populations with chronic diseases.  By integrating information flow across clinical boundaries, Tel-Assurance® facilitates improvements not only in information capture, but also in quality performance.  Your organization is positioned to increase revenues through “pay for performance.”

Increased Cost Efficiency

Unlike any other remote monitoring solution on the market, Tel-Assurance® is device free.  It delivers results without the cost and complexity of deploying, retrieving, and servicing devices in the home.  This is unlike any other remote monitoring solution out on the market.  Patients spend less time in the hospital and more time connecting to your organization’s outpatient services.  When they do require admission, they are more likely to go home sooner.  Loyalty to your organization is built through a daily “dose” of your brand.  Caseloads can increase up to five times without additional staffing.

Proven Results

Approximately 4.8 million Americans have heart failure (HF) today. After age 65, the incidence approaches 10 of every 1000 Americans.  HF admits remain the number one money loser for hospitals.  The average length of stay for HF patients nationally is greater than five days.  Hospitals often lose more than $1,000 on average per HF admit.  Length-of-stay reductions alone using Tel-Assurance® provides a 50-100 percent return on investment.
