June 5, 2017 -- Chronic conditions account for 86 percent of U.S. health care spending. Third-party payers, including health plans, are increasingly exploring the use of digital technology solutions to complement patient engagement strategies that involve patients in the care they receive. The goal of implementing these digital solutions is to help improve clinical outcomes and lower overall health care costs.
The StayWell Company, a leading health solutions provider, announced today that CEO Nicole Latimer will lead a webinar for health plan leaders on high-touch, high-tech, digital solutions that help manage risk and avoid clinical complications while producing better financial outcomes and healthier patients. Health care professionals can register for the webinar on June 8 at 2 p.m., EST by visiting staywell.com/millenniumpayer/.
“Value-based care is driving the way health care is being delivered and experienced by patients, which makes it critically important that engagement is imbued in all phases of the patient journey,” said Latimer. “A digital solution that enhances and extends clinician-member-payer communication beyond the care setting can help close gaps in care, foster patient compliance, support treatment decisions, promote higher quality care, and lower costs.”

During the webinar, participants will also learn more about StayWell’s digital solution, Krames CareEngageTM, an interactive patient engagement platform that features modules with customizable patient checklists, patient engagement tools, and patient educational materials for treating chronic conditions, such as diabetes. A clinician can deliver an easy-to-use module directly to a patient’s desktop, tablet or smartphone.
The Krames CareEngage platform currently features CareEngage PrepareTM, which targets pre- and post-surgical outcomes, and CareEngage SustainTM, which targets chronic condition management.
The platform, powered by Doctella SmartlistTM technology, originated from quality and safety checklist research performed by Peter Pronovost, MD, PHD, of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. It can be integrated into current workflows and Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems.
Latimer will demonstrate CareEngage Sustain, which specifically targets diabetes management, during the June 8 webinar.
The CareEngage platform combines StayWell’s 40 years of expertise in clinical content and patient engagement with Silicon Valley-developed digital technology to address concerns related to costs, patient compliance, behavior change, safety and clinical outcomes for treating chronic conditions.
