McLaren Physician Partners Launches MyCare
Starting this week, McLaren Physician Partners (MPP) has launched a deviceless remote patient monitoring program called MyCare. MyCare sends condition-specific text messages or automated phone calls to McLaren patients to support care coordination and monitor their health virtually.
The goals of this partnership are to:
• Reduce medical costs by reducing ED visits, admissions and re-admissions
• Scaling care coordination services to engage a larger population
• Increase success with value-based care models
MyCare, an extension of our Care Coordination services, will help McLaren physicians stay connected to patients in-between scheduled appointments by monitoring patient-reported data regarding their symptoms for the following conditions:
• COPD
• Heart Failure
• Post Discharge
These messages collect patient reported information and alert the MPP Care Coordination team when a patient responds negatively which allows our care team to intervene before the patient's condition worsens to help manage their health and wellbeing. A sample of the questions may be viewed at the link below.

This program is offered to patients at no cost to them. Your office may receive a call from your patients about MyCare in the next few weeks. Patients are more likely to enroll if their provider encourages and supports MyCare.
