A Smarter Healthcare Delivery Begins with "Your Health"

One of the more frustrating experiences a patient can face is the coordination of care across an array of disconnected specialists. The patient is usually tasked with scheduling appointments and the additional burden of finding and traveling to multiple locations to complete diagnostic tests. The results of these tests then need to be sent back to their primary care doctor for a treatment plan to be developed. Unfortunately, because of the disconnected nature of our modern healthcare system, the above scenario is fraught with potential delays due to the logistical challenges associated with sharing information between providers, which can often delay treatment.   

With "Your Health," the primary care providers and specialists are on the same team, creating simplified logistics and improved communication that takes the burden of obtaining care from the patient. "Your Health" medical services, including primary care, specialty care, mobile diagnostics, and remote patient monitoring (RPM), are all available in the comfort of your home, workplace, traditional doctor's office, or through telehealth appointments, further eliminating the challenges patients face from a conventional medical provider.

Below are some specialty services offered through "Your Health" and how they interact with the complete team to provide our patients with the best medical care.

· Cardiac Specialty: The cardiac team focuses on early detection and prevention, performs screenings and risk assessments, and helps patients manage their heart conditions and diseases. RPM, which transmits a patient's daily vitals to a central location for analysis, is used extensively within this Specialty and allows the team to adjust medications and care plans quickly.

· Diabetic Specialty: "Your Health" has dedicated diabetic specialists who continually review and monitor their patients. Treatment includes type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. The Specialty stays current with the latest advancements in diabetes treatment, and personalized treatment plans include medication management, dietary education by a registered dietician, prevention management, and remote glucose monitoring.

· Pharmacist Specialty: Medication non-adherence is a leading cause of hospitalizations and hospital readmissions in the US. A pharmacist consultation utilizing the patient's primary care provider in collaboration with a pharmacist specialist seeks to mitigate a patient's risk of unnecessary hospitalization. The essential components of the consult involve medication reconciliation, which includes eliminating unnecessary or duplicate medications, de-prescribing, and providing the patient with valuable insight about their current medications, proper dosages, and best practices for taking the medicines.

· Palliative Care Specialty: Palliative Care, or "Supportive Care," is specialized medical care focused on maximizing the quality of life for people experiencing severe illnesses. This care focuses on relieving patients from the illness's symptoms, pain, and stress - regardless of diagnosis. Palliative care is provided by a "Your Health" team of specialists working with other care team members to provide extra support. Palliative care is appropriate at any age and any stage of a severe illness and can be provided together with curative treatment.

· Dietician Specialty: The "Your Health" dietician specialty facilitates a patient's dietary requirements essential to overall health. This Specialty advises and provides medical nutrition therapy for patients who have diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol hypokalemia patients. The dieticians work alongside the general practitioners in creating specific, measurable nutritional goals that can be assessed on follow-up appointments.

· Pain Management Specialty: The pain management team within "Your Health" consists of specialists in pain management, pharmacists, behavior specialists, orthopedic specialists, and primary care providers. The team achieves high patient care continuity through telehealth and in-person visits. Many patients suffering from chronic pain also suffer from the psychological effects of that pain. Patients who gain an understanding through behavioral therapy can begin to manage the emotions and anxieties accompanying their discomfort, which allows them to cope with their pain more effectively.
