We are excited to a premier 18-hospital system serving the residents of Northeast Ohio.
UH’s Harrington Heart & Vascular Institute is a leader in cardiovascular care and was looking to further drive innovation to elevate its open heart surgery program. To achieve a standardized, higher-quality consumer experience, while also improving clinical outcomes, UH looked for a Digital Patient Engagement platform to keep cardiac patients safe and connected to their care team while at home.
UH rolled out ǶƵ to engage and monitor patients more effectively before and after Open Heart surgery. Dr. Marc Pelletier, MD, MSc, Chief, Division of Cardiac Surgery, University Hospitals shares:
“ǶƵ has been a terrific patient engagement technology partner in further elevating our hospital’s digital transformation strategy. It is a very user-friendly platform that has allowed us to more efficiently deliver Cardiac care and engage our patients beyond the four walls of the hospital."
A matched cohort analysis demonstrated ǶƵ to achieve the following improvement in outcomes:
- ↓ 49% Readmissions
- ↓ 68% ED Visits
- ↓ 59% Phone Calls
- ↓ 52% Discharge to SNF
Example testimonial from patient monitored on ǶƵ
“Really enjoyed this program, it’s so useful in so many ways, it’s hard to pick just one thing I liked most! The daily health check helped me feel secure that if something was wrong I would get immediate follow up from the nurse/doctor. Also, ease of access to information about my procedure & aftercare.”
