Care3 Transforming Interaction Between Consumers and Healthcare Professionals
(Los Angeles, CA) – January 31, 2019 – Care3, www.care3.co), the leading care collaboration platform for healthcare delivered in the home and community, is transforming conventional interactions between care professionals, patients, and families for PACE and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). Conventional patient/doctor interactions are periodic verbal exchanges in an office setting with information transfer limited by patient memory of events since the previous visit. Care3 uses the three (3) main elements of communication – text, media, and data – to create digital “Connected Journals” between consumers and providers to capture the ongoing patient experience. Patients share their experiences not only through text messaging, but also by tracking care task completion, medication adherence, and symptom severity. If an adverse event occurs, it can be reported in real-time for providers to intervene, if necessary.
“Connected Journals allow consumers and care professionals to ‘talk’ about care without an office visit, phone call, or appointment.” explains David S. Williams, CEO and Co-Founder of Care3. “This new interactive format also generates previously uncaptured data critical for improved care planning and real-time clinical response to adverse events.”
Connected Journals have led to significant impact in number of interactions, clinical data points generated, and care plan adherence. In three separate case studies with dozens of participants, Connected Journals enabled:
the capture of more than 360 additional clinically relevant data points per patient per quarter
increased care plan adherence by 68% during the three-month period
450+ quarterly interactions per patient
an average of two intra-quarter adjustments in care plans (rather than only two per year)
