As the digital health investment landscape shifts focus, there is a growing need for innovation to improve healthcare access and outcomes, especially for vulnerable populations insured by Medicaid and Medicare. Many of these individuals face significant barriers, such as limited access to medications and transportation. A recent Nature Portfolio Digital Health commentary highlights four key areas where health technology startups can innovate in partnership with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS): ▶ Enhancing consumer awareness of CMS programs ▶ Expanding virtual care offerings to bridge access gaps ▶ Streamlining cross-state licensing and billing ▶ Developing technology-enabled tools to address social determinants of health By focusing on these areas, startups can create solutions that better serve underserved communities and improve health equity. https://lnkd.in/eAyUbcaH I #CMS #HealthEquity #SDOH #Medicare #Medicaid #VirtualCare #DigitalHealth #HealthcareInnovation

In their new Forefront article, Alex D. Federman, Isaac O. Longobardi, Heidi W. Steinecker, April Diaz, David G. Stevenson, and Kathy Bradley from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, the Moving Forward Coalition, EY, Marquis Companies, Vanderbilt University, and OUR MOTHERS VOICE discuss how they have identified four ways to increase the efficiency of the CMS nursing home survey process without sacrificing survey quality. "In recent years, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors, many state survey agencies are months, if not years, behind. According to a Senate Special Committee on Aging report, nearly one in nine nursing homes have not had a survey in two years. Delayed surveys enable poor conditions to persist or worsen, putting nursing home residents at risk for serious harm and death. They also undermine the timeliness and reliability of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Five-Star Quality Rating System, which is based partly on survey results."

With our Innovation Initiative (i2), also referred to as “venture philanthropy,” Alliance Healthcare Foundation (AHF) seeks promising innovation to transform the current health paradigm of high cost and poor outcomes to improve quality, increase capacity, and reduce costs for the most systemically marginalized and under-resourced populations in San Diego. Solving our most intractable health challenges requires innovative, transformative, and sustainable solutions. AHF seeks market-based and/or transformational systems-change solutions with the potential to improve access, quality, and health outcomes for low-income residents in our region. https://hubs.la/Q02TkYGh0 #i2funding #HealthEquity #SocialInnovation Nex Cubed

PicassoMD and Eventus WholeHealth Announce Partnership to set a new standard in healthcare innovation and patient-centered services for individuals in long-term care settings PicassoMD, Inc., a platform that connects healthcare providers for real-time clinical decision support, referrals, and care coordination, and Eventus WholeHealth, the country’s leading provider of primary care and mental health services for medically vulnerable adults, are proud to announce a new partnership that will enable their strategic clinical care teams to connect with local and remote specialists in real-time. PicassoMD and Eventus WholeHealth share a common goal of making access to healthcare available to those who are medically vulnerable. Co-founded by a cardiologist, PicassoMD has revolutionized the way Primary Care Providers (PCPs) deliver care. The platform enables PCPs to access real-time clinical consultations with specialists across more than 30 specialties in under 30 seconds, significantly improving patient outcomes and reducing costs. Additionally, if a referral is necessary, PicassoMD helps seamlessly transition the patient from the PCP to a local specialist, ensuring continuity of care and enhancing patient satisfaction. This partnership has already shown impressive results for Eventus patients: * 70% of Emergency Department (ED) visits were avoided. * 77% of specialist referrals were avoided. * 70% of cases saw a change in clinical behavior based on real-time specialist input. * The average time to connect with a specialist was just 12 seconds. "Through our strategic partnership, Eventus WholeHealth and PicassoMD are setting a new standard in healthcare innovation for individuals in long-term care," said Dr. Reza Sanai, founder and Co-CEO of PicassoMD. "We are dedicated to enhancing patient outcomes and streamlining care coordination, demonstrating our commitment to transforming healthcare with compassion and excellence." “Eventus’ partnership with PicassoMD has been amazing! It allows our clinicians to securely message specialty providers for consultation about difficult cases. I’ve personally connected with various specialists and within minutes had a plan of care to implement the same day. This app enables real-time patient treatment instead of waiting months for an appointment,” said Cathy Parker, NP, VP of Value Based Care Outcomes at Eventus WholeHealth. “These curbside consults directly affect value-based care by providing real-time solutions, coordinating care, and decreasing ER transfers, leading to better quality and cost-effective care for our patients.”
