Practice-Wide Thresholds
When you and your clinic onboards with us, we will ask you to determine your "At Risk" and "Critical" alert thresholds for each physiological parameter (blood pressure, heart rate, glucose, etc.). These will be your practice-wide default thresholds.
Per-Patient Thresholds
You will also be able to set and change custom thresholds for any patient as needed. When a patient has an At Risk reading, our team will review the reading result to determine if this is typical for the patient or whether a phone call is indicated. If a patient has a Critical reading, we will call the patient and determine if the situation needs to be escalated to the ordering provider. All our phone calls with patients and providers are done on our secure recorded platform.
Patient Engagement
Fully customizable outreach via SMS, telephone, email, or video telemedicine call. Increased patient engagement by using Accuhealth's clinical care team to provide full-service care coordination, medication and appointment reminders, health coaching, and the patient's preferred method of communication to build healthy habits.
Automated Reminders
In addition to our live agents who call patients, our automated reminder system will send SMS, emails, or phone call reminders to patients depending on their preference to remind them to take their readings.
Consumables Included
For the life of the patient in the program, we supply patients with consumables for their devices, including batteries, diabetic lancets and test strips as part of our service. For some patients, not having to pay for consumables is a real motivator to continue the program.
Play Daily Bingo Game
We try to make Remote Patient Monitoring and taking daily readings fun by emailing a Bingo card to patients at the start of each month. Patients can play and win prizes, and keep them engaged with their daily reading reminders.
