Understanding that hospitals were seeing patients with untreated severe sleep apnea readmitted 10x more often, it became evident that we find a partner to help us provide a more comprehensive approach to address this costly issue.

Partnering with collaboratehealth© extends our service offering to 6 high-risk DRG populations also at risk for readmissions.

— John Mathias, Chief Development Officer at MedBridge Healthcare

We Take a Patient-Centric Approach

Our Readmission Reduction Program is a personal resource for patients, offering daily monitoring and check-ins, medication reconciliation, and comprehensive patient education. Pharmacists and nurses can check in daily, provide symptom checkers, and offer ongoing support after discharge.

A Platform Customized to Your Hospital's Needs

We understand that every hospital and healthcare system is unique, so our program is fully customizable to fit your needs. Whether you require an inpatient navigator, pre-discharge loaner equipment, or bedside consultations by board-certified sleep physicians, we work closely with you to tailor the program accordingly.

Our Platform is HIPPA Compliant

Our program leverages the power of remote patient monitoring to keep track of patients' health and well-being. We integrate device APIs from popular platforms to achieve this. This integration allows us to collect and analyze various health metrics such as heart rate, blood pressure, and sleep patterns.

How Our Program Works

Initial Assessment

Patients are encouraged to enroll at beside by the designated Patient Navigator. Upon admission to the program, patients undergo a thorough assessment to identify their needs and goals.

Personalized Care Plan

We develop a customized care plan tailored to each patient’s unique requirements and preferences based on the assessment. This care plan could include scheduling, transportation, and medication reconciliation.

Daily Support & Monitoring

Our team provides daily check-ins, medication management, and symptom monitoring to ensure patients progress smoothly.

Ongoing Support

Once the patient has downloaded the app and upon discharge, our team remains actively involved, offering continued support and guidance to promote a successful home-care transition.
