Organizations have struggled for years to find solutions to our healthcare challenges. A large opportunity exists to dramatically reduce chronic disease-related healthcare costs and improve quality of care and life for underserved, rural and hard to reach patients. However, many of the solutions developed over the past 20 years have yet to find the right formula for addressing delivery system challenges while bridging the largely uncoordinated relationships between patients, physicians and payers. Tel-Assurance® is an innovative behavior change technology that unifies care coordination and daily patient monitoring at the point of care delivery to change healthcare delivery. Tel-Assurance's unique device-free approach eliminates the need for costly and hard to use equipment and as such attracts and improves the health of hard to reach/engage individuals, such as older adults and those living in rural areas. South Jersey Healthcare (SJH), a leading regional healthcare provider in southern New Jersey, began using Tel-Assurance for its rural and hard to reach population in 2009. SJH was able to improve access to care for its hard to reach population, achieve 61% program enrollment and reduce avoidable hospital admissions by 60%. Additionally, SJH achieved an 83% patient satisfaction rate.
