Pria, an innovative healthcare technology company that is transforming the way chronic care management is delivered at home, announced that Pria will be using InterSystems Health Connect Cloud to deliver the integration required to accelerate Pria’s efforts to revolutionize the operating system for health at home.

With Pria, providers, patients, and family caregivers can access a suite of health management tools to help them monitor and manage all aspects of their prescribed care plans. Through cloud-based connectivity, Pria’s platform can be used to identify eligible patients, align their care plan with a Pria Wellness Plan, and integrate patient data with their electronic health records.

With guaranteed delivery, reliability, and stability, InterSystems Health Connect Cloud delivers comprehensive healthcare interoperability via a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering. Health Connect Cloud streamlines data integration between clinical systems and applications, while managing the entire infrastructure and providing enhanced data automation and management capabilities to help providers and application developers rapidly leverage HL7 FHIR® and other healthcare standards to connect systems and solutions. As a PaaS model, it is ideal for digital health solution developers such as Pria because it reduces infrastructure and licensing costs and ensures compliance with standards, allowing developers to focus on building their unique product offering.

According to Pria’s CEO Ainar Abdrakhmanov, “We are thrilled with the continued support and collaboration from InterSystems to advance our operating system for health at home. With InterSystems' cutting-edge technology and expertise, we will develop a platform that enables healthcare organizations to deliver health-at-home, value-based care for the Medicare population. Our innovative platform will simplify and improve the scalability of the health-at-home solutions market, thereby resolving current market pain points.”

“InterSystems is thrilled to collaborate with forward-thinking companies in pursuit of a shared goal: leveraging technology to deliver advanced data automation and intelligence solutions that improve patient outcomes,” said Paul Grabscheid, Vice President of Strategic Planning, InterSystems. “Through supporting innovative companies like Pria, we are excited to push the boundaries of what's possible in healthcare and revolutionize traditional approaches to data management and analysis.”

Pria is building the standard for health-at-home solutions by delivering a platform that streamlines workflows, improves patient outcomes, and reduces costs. The company's innovative approach has earned it a reputation as a game-changer in the healthcare industry. Pria's integration of health-at-home solutions on one platform supports healthcare organizations to lower costs while delivering a patient engagement experience through Pria's Digital Nurse.

Pria will be demonstrating their operating system for health at home and the Pria Digital Nurse at HIMSS 2023 in InterSystems booth #942.

Pria also announced an investment from InterSystems Corporation, that follows several years of technical collaboration and promises to accelerate Pria’s efforts to revolutionize the operating system for health at home.

Best Buy Health and Geisinger Enhance Home Chronic Disease Management

Geisinger | September 13, 2023

Collaborating with Best Buy's Geek Squad ensures faster care, better adherence, and superior outcomes for chronic care patients. In 2021, Geisinger launched ConnectedCare365, enrolling over 1,100 patients in remote monitoring for various chronic conditions via Best Buy Health's Current Health platform. In July 2022, Best Buy Health and Geisinger began a program with Geek Squad Agents to deliver and activate remote care management devices. Best Buy Health and Geisinger have announced their commitment to expand their collaborative efforts to enhance the quality of care for a broader patient population within the Geisinger network. This expansion builds upon their successful delivery of in-home care to patients with chronic conditions through Geek Squad. This initiative currently encompasses 300 Geisinger patients. During their home visits, these agents critically educate patients about the technology integral to their care plan. They offer detailed explanations about the devices, instruct patients on proper usage, and ensure seamless data transmission to the patient's care team. Additionally, agents are available to help with troubleshooting as needed, and they oversee the collection and processing of all devices after a patient leaves the program, following the care team's instructions. The program has achieved a remarkable 50% reduction in the time it takes for a patient to go from admission into the chronic care at-home program to the completion of device setup. This pivotal shift has seen the period shrink from an average of 96 hours to just 48 hours. Furthermore, patients' adherence to their care plans has improved by a commendable 19%, evident in their consistent use of remote technology equipment. Additionally, there has been an 18% decline in reported technical issues, and when replacements were necessary, Geek Squad agents swiftly provided new devices within 24 hours of receiving reports. These exceptional results have garnered positive patient feedback, with a net promoter score of 89 when asked about their experience with Geek Squad's home visits for chronic care program setup. Deborah Di Sanzo, President of Best Buy Health, stated, The results of our program show that when we combine what Best Buy is known for—technology support and expertise—with Geisinger's best-in-class care teams and network of clinics and hospitals, we can make a meaningful difference in the patient and caregiver experience. [Source: Business Wire] Additionally, she emphasized Geisinger's outstanding performance on this initiative. She expressed strong enthusiasm for expanding these capabilities nationwide, in alignment with Best Buy Health's mission to promote accessible at-home care for everyone. Karen Murphy, EVP, Chief Innovation Officer and Founding Director of the Steele Institute for Health Innovation at Geisinger, emphasized the dynamic changes in healthcare. She highlighted the organization's heightened dedication to bringing care closer to patients and members while striving to establish higher care quality standards. The collaboration with Best Buy Health has enabled Geisinger to reshape the healthcare experience, ushering in positive transformations in care delivery and reception. Best Buy aims to enhance lives through technology by providing customers with expert guidance, a diverse product range, and comprehensive in-store and online services.

globenewswire | September 01, 2023

CareCloud, Inc. a leader in healthcare technology solutions for medical practices and health systems nationwide, today announced the successful integration of its talkEHR platform at Sympathy Health Clinic in Las Vegas. This integration stands as a significant leap forward in enhancing the clinic's patient care and practice management capabilities.

The core objective of this integration is to streamline the day-to-day workflows of healthcare providers while simultaneously elevating the overall patient experience. The decision of Sympathy Health Clinic to transition to CareCloud's talkEHR stems from their requirement for a comprehensive solution that includes telehealth capabilities. The talkEHR solution is not only expected to fulfill the clinic's billing, charting, and prescription requirements but also to notably amplify the efficiency of its telehealth operations. Dissatisfaction with the limitations imposed by their previous telehealth provider prompted Sympathy Health Clinic to actively seek a more cost-effective and adaptable alternative capable of catering to their unique specifications. The talkEHR telehealth functionality boasts a seamless virtual visit experience, integrating with a HIPAA-compliant practice management tool for appointment scheduling and rescheduling. It further mitigates no-show instances through automated notifications. During telehealth visits, healthcare professionals can concurrently update patient charts, optimizing the efficiency of the process. The patient-centric design includes easy one-click access, eliminating the need for separate apps to establish connections. Additionally, the system incorporates a virtual waiting room. Ellen Wright, practice manager at Sympathy Health Clinic, shared, “We recognized the growing inefficiency in our telehealth operations, with our healthcare professionals dedicating excessive time to administrative tasks. After a thorough evaluation, we concluded that CareCloud's talkEHR is the optimal solution to address these challenges.” The implementation of CareCloud's talkEHR also presents an opportunity for added revenue streams. Telehealth calls are logged automatically, allowing follow-up calls that were previously unbillable to transform into revenue-generating encounters. Furthermore, the platform facilitates the extension of office hours through virtual means, enhancing accessibility for patients.
