Compassus was awarded Gold in the Quality category in the Home Care track for the 2023 McKnight’s Excellence in Technology Awards.
With Compassus’ virtual care model, at-risk patients receive education about disease progression, management, symptom control and early intervention, and tools to monitor their vital signs. Telehealth nurses use this data to discuss changes in health status or new symptoms, identify potential causes and interventions, and if a call to the patient’s physician or medication change may be needed. Telehealth remote patient monitoring is available in all of its 40 home health locations across 10 states.
“In just 18 months, Compassus has successfully operationalized telehealth remote patient monitoring resulting in more than 2,500 patients served and 3,758 virtual visits completed. Using data benchmarks from technology partner HRS,” the organization said in its application. “Most significantly, Compassus has seen a 38% lower rehospitalization rate among patients receiving virtual care compared to those who are not.”
