A Quality Care Management Program for Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary Artery Disease is one of the most expensive chronic illnesses in health care. Through Heartline, Quality Care Management can help reduce claims costs with preventive care. Through a highly developed proactive approach, costly patient hospitalizations, ER visits, and invasive procedures are reduced.
How the Heartline Program Works:
Using state-of-the-art technology, the Heartline Program delivers combined patient-specific prognosis and national standard therapeutic recommendations to primary care physicians, while incorporating process reports of health and expense outcomes.
- Patient claims histories are analyzed, and individuals whose claims histories make them appropriate candidates for the program are identified and contacted about participation.
- Once enrolled, patients are scheduled for an initial evaluation with a Heartline Program specialist.
- Patient-specific data is entered into an STRx monitor that the patient will wear, forming the start of an electronic medical record.
- Patient demographics and 24-hour monitoring is telelinked to the Data Center.
- Recommendations for the optimization of medications are sent to the physician to begin patient intervention. The physician receives recommendations for care within one week from the time of monitoring, reminders for future monitoring, and outcomes resulting from care provided.
The Heartline Program can significantly reduce claims costs by assisting Coronary Artery Disease patients in improving their individual health.
