MyCare Update and Educational Video
MPP launched its MyCare program one month ago. MyCare is a deviceless remote patient monitoring program, which sends condition-specific text messages or automated phone calls to McLaren patients with COPD, Heart Failure or High-risk Discharge, to support care coordination and monitor their health virtually. There is no charge for this program. MyCare supports McLaren physicians stay connected to patients in-between scheduled appointments by monitoring patient-reported data regarding their symptoms. During our initial implementation, we are not accepting referrals for this program, but will evaluate that option in the future.
Program goals include:
- Optimizing the patient’s management of chronic conditions
- Reducing medical costs by reducing ED visits, admissions and re-admissions
- Scaling care coordination services to engage a larger population
Patient responses are collected 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.
In the first 30 days we have:
- Enrolled 512 patients (COPD: 231; CHF 255; High Risk Discharges: 64)
- Received 154 patient alerts notifying us of a change in their condition
Patients are more likely to enroll if their provider encourages and supports MyCare. To encourage physician participation, MPP will provide 5 Key Conversation Points on the Clinical Integration scorecard to any physician who watches the introductory video on the MPP website by June 30th.
