Turn-Key Health has partnered with Trinity Health in Livonia, Mich., its affiliated Medicare Advantage plan and Mount Carmel Hospice and Palliative Care in Columbus, Ohio to deliver a population health management solution for the palliative care population.
The acute illness management platform will be used by Mount Carmel Hospice and Palliative Care to assess, stratify and plan care interventions for plan members in the palliative community. The solution also aims to diminish instances of unnecessary care delivery to patients that are both costly and interfere with quality of life.
"There is currently no meaningful, consistent, systematic way of addressing the needs of this 2 percent subset of patients," said Turn-Key Health President Greer Myers. "This problem requires a niche population health solution that enables care teams to successfully identify and establish patient goals of care, and advanced care plans, while improving patient and caregiver understanding of treatment options during the last years of life."
The program is predicted to reduce care costs by $12,000 per patient over the next 12 months.
