Our Patient Engagement Portal has helped North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust to save over £1500 per month on missed Gastroenterology outpatient appointments alone. Imagine the savings across all outpatient services! Back in January Kath Tarn, Head of Outpatients and Place Based Care, said: “Since we began trialling the new booking system for our outpatient gastroenterology appointments, we’ve had more than 7,000 appointments managed via the app. Our research shows patients find the system really easy to use and it’s also reduced our number of missed appointments by an average of ten per month. Each missed appointment costs around £150, so that’s £1,500 saved every month." Find out what else MyHealthCall PEP can do for your Trust and your patients including: - Reducing posting of letters and leaflets - Improving communication with patients - Reducing telephone calls to outpatient booking teams Visit: https://zurl.co/MCVA #PEP #PatientEngagement

VA to Expand CHAMPVA Coverage for Veteran Families and Caregivers The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will soon expand coverage for medical services, including mental health care, for family members and primary family caregivers participating in the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the VA (CHAMPVA). Starting at the end of May, CHAMPVA beneficiaries will have expanded coverage, including: 1. Audio-Only Telehealth: Beneficiaries will have expanded access to care through audio-only telehealth, which is especially important for rural residents. This coverage will also be retroactive, with providers and beneficiaries having until November 26, 2024, to file claims for services received on or after May 12, 2020. 2. Elimination of Visit Caps: CHAMPVA beneficiaries will no longer face limits on visits for mental health and substance use treatment. Additionally, pre-authorizations will no longer be required for outpatient mental health visits exceeding 23 visits per year or more than two sessions per week. 3. No Cost Sharing for Certain Contraceptive Services: VA is eliminating deductibles and cost sharing for contraceptive services and products approved, cleared, or granted by the Food and Drug Administration. Currently, more than 737,500 people are CHAMPVA beneficiaries. CHAMPVA provides healthcare services and supplies to certain spouses, surviving spouses, children, and primary family caregivers of eligible veterans. It covers a wide range of medical services, including mental health care, prescription medications, inpatient and outpatient services, and more.

https://lnkd.in/dnGtkGRV The following are some key points to note: Access to Care: Maximum wait time standards have been established for appointments. For routine primary care (adult and pediatric) and obstetric/gynecological services, the wait time should not exceed 15 business days. For outpatient mental health and substance use disorder services (adult and pediatric), the wait time should not exceed 10 business days. Each state must establish a wait time for a state-selected service (adult and pediatric, if appropriate). In Lieu of Service and Setting (ILOS): ILOSs can be used as immediate or longer-term substitutes for a covered service or setting under the state plan, or when they can be expected to reduce or prevent the need for such service or setting in the future. This is to better support HRSNs (e.g., specific allowable housing and nutritional supports that are medically appropriate and cost-effective). More to come!

Improving Care Navigation by deploying highly empathetic humans that are empowered with modern tech efficiency
This is great to see Trinity Health focusing on the full #patient care journey. We are frequently contacted by #hospitals inquiring about throughput challenges and addressing them with #carenavigation programs. #Outpatient / downstream services is one of the first areas of discovery, especially as the #healthcare landscape transitions further into #Valuebasecare. One of the best and most challenging parts of what we do is connecting all of the dots and ensuring that there are efficient and available 'next best step(s)' in care for #patients. #VBC #continuityofcare #hospital #healthsystems #navigation #ED #Medicare #MedicareAdvantage #referrals

If given the choice, most Americans would prefer using hospital-at-home programs so that they can be discharged sooner. Plus, evidence shows how effective these programs can be, resulting in "low mortality, skilled nursing facility use, and readmission rates at one month following discharge." https://lnkd.in/gmJJhSEG Because these programs rely on remote patient monitoring (RPM) to record patient vitals, this begs the question: how does your organization manage all of that data? That's where we can help.
84% of US adults would participate in hospital-at-home programs
