We are excited to a premier 18-hospital system serving the residents of Northeast Ohio.
UH’s Harrington Heart & Vascular Institute is a leader in cardiovascular care and was looking to further drive innovation to elevate its open heart surgery program. To achieve a standardized, higher-quality consumer experience, while also improving clinical outcomes, UH looked for a Digital Patient Engagement platform to keep cardiac patients safe and connected to their care team while at home.
UH rolled out ݮ to engage and monitor patients more effectively before and after Open Heart surgery. Dr. Marc Pelletier, MD, MSc, Chief, Division of Cardiac Surgery, University Hospitals shares:
“ݮ has been a terrific patient engagement technology partner in further elevating our hospital’s digital transformation strategy. It is a very user-friendly platform that has allowed us to more efficiently deliver Cardiac care and engage our patients beyond the four walls of the hospital."
A matched cohort analysis demonstrated ݮ to achieve the following improvement in outcomes:
- ↓ 49% Readmissions
- ↓ 68% ED Visits
- ↓ 59% Phone Calls
- ↓ 52% Discharge to SNF
Example testimonial from patient monitored on ݮ
“Really enjoyed this program, it’s so useful in so many ways, it’s hard to pick just one thing I liked most! The daily health check helped me feel secure that if something was wrong I would get immediate follow up from the nurse/doctor. Also, ease of access to information about my procedure & aftercare.”
