Sound Accountable Care to Present Leading ACO Innovations at National Conference

Spotlight on Sound Accountable Care at AHCA/NCAL National Conference

This month, Sound Accountable Care is set to take center stage at the AHCA/NCAL National Conference, aptly themed "Delivering Solutions 26," taking place in Boston from October 11-14. As a strong advocate for long-term care, Sound Accountable Care will exhibit its innovative accountable care organization (ACO) strategies, particularly aimed at enhancing assisted living services. Noteworthy in this year's focus is their groundbreaking telehealth offering, Sound Virtual Care.

Exhibiting Innovations for Better Care

The AHCA/NCAL National Conference is recognized as the largest assembly for leaders in the long-term care sector. It offers a unique platform for networking, educational programming, and an exploration of cutting-edge innovations that are shaping the future of care.

Sound Accountable Care, well-regarded as the leading ACO in shared savings among Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) ACOs, will be exhibiting its top-tier services geared towards long-term care beneficiaries. Their commitment to quality care makes them an exemplary model for other organizations in the industry.

The Significance of Sound Virtual Care

One of the highlights from Sound Accountable Care is the introduction of Sound Virtual Care, a pioneering telemedicine solution that greatly enhances access to care for facility nurses and residents. Designed specifically for scenarios when onsite medical coverage is minimal—such as during overnight shifts, weekends, and holidays—Sound Virtual Care allows facility staff to consult with tele-clinicians seamlessly.

Recent data reveals promising outcomes from this initiative, with tele-clinicians successfully addressing 96.8% of consultations on location. Additionally, about 33% of patients who would typically need to go to the emergency department can instead receive appropriate care and remain at the facility, thus avoiding potentially chaotic hospital environments. This kind of support is pivotal in minimizing stress for patients and in cutting unnecessary healthcare costs.

As Dr. Brian Carpenter, Chief Medical Officer of Telemedicine at Sound, explains, "Sound Virtual Care plays an essential role in delivering responsive, high-quality care by bridging gaps in access and supporting a more consistent, sustainable care experience."

Addressing Industry Challenges

The long-term care landscape is undergoing significant transformations, characterized by evolving challenges and financial pressures. Mike Camacho, President of Sound Accountable Care, stated, "Delivering Solutions is a fantastic opportunity for stakeholders to come together to address challenges and opportunities in the industry. We understand the extraordinary financial and workforce pressures that facilities are facing today. Sound Accountable Care is determined to help them thrive through our ACOs and Sound Virtual Care."
