Healthwise®
Increase utilization of your cardiac service line, support clinical teams to prevent subsequent heart attacks, improve patient satisfaction, and empower patients to adopt healthier behaviors.
Cardiac Rehab (CR) programs reduce morbidity and mortality rates in adults with ischemic heart disease or cardiac surgery. Still, only 20% of eligible patients participate in in-person CR programs. Digital Health Programs is a cost-effective way to help you connect with people on their terms and increase your cardiac service line’s impact.
Patients who complete cardiac education programs have lower admission and readmission rates, but enrollment is small. A Digital Health Program helps improve participation and completion rates. Kaiser increased their enrollment rates by 74% when they introduced virtual cardiac rehab programs.
Participating in CR programs in-person is difficult during the best of times but concerns about COVID-19 make it especially important to move these efforts online. Solve travel, time, and pandemic obstacles with a virtual cardiac rehab program.
Virtual programs improve the cost efficiency of per patient program delivery as in-person programs cost more to produce and deliver.
As people spend more time online, you need to meet consumers where they are now and where they will be tomorrow.
Supplement your coaching with evidence-based patient education that aligns with key components required by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation. Plus, it’s regularly reviewed and updated by medical experts.
Patients need information on physical activity, healthy eating, medication adherence, stress management, tobacco cessation, and more. Offer this material in a web-based program and free up your time to focus on the unique needs of each patient during face-to-face interactions.
Education presented all at once is overwhelming and hard to retain. Digital Health Programs provide education when patients need it in their health journey for increased comprehension.
Reach more patients with a CR digital health program infused with behavior change science for self-management and care plan adherence.
Give your patients more options. Virtual programs offer patients who are homebound, working full or part-time, or in rural areas access to the quality support and education they deserve.
Provide the right tools to help patients take care of themselves and make important lifestyle changes, including interactive tools, activity tracking, exercises, and relatable content delivered when and how your patients need them.
