Coventry's pilot program features the deployment of home health medical devices to congestive heart failure (CHF) patients in a defined geographic region, along with care management services and patient data exchange for the physicians. This proactive pilot is designed to align member, physician and health plan incentives, resulting in improved and timely access to physician care. The program's purpose is to produce improved patient outcomes by centralizing specialized, intense case management for chronically ill patients. Studies have shown that telemonitoring of CHF patients increases the patient's quality of life and can reduce care delivery costs by avoiding unnecessary emergency room visits and hospitalizations.
ICW's DCS will manage and securely distribute information to and from the medical devices in the patient's home. ICW's PXS serves as the interoperability platform for Coventry's internal and external networks. The PXS facilitates the seamless and secure exchange of information between disparate systems both inside and outside of the Coventry umbrella of healthcare services, according to the company.
Dr. Vishu Jhaveri, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer for Coventry Health Care, and Executive Sponsor for the program, said, "We hope to develop specialized intense care management methodologies that bring proven results to patients, providers and health plans. We can't accomplish these goals without exceptional technology. ICW's ten-year experience with providing proven eHealth solutions, along with their experience with other cardiac care projects, makes them the obvious partner for Coventry's new program."
Jeremy Coote, CEO of InterComponentWare , said, "The alignment of patient, provider and case manager is greatly improved by a truly interoperable technology platform capable of sharing data from a multitude of source systems. ICW has provided these solutions both within the U.S. and Europe with notable success and looks forward to working closely with Coventry as they launch this revolutionary program."
