Johnson Memorial Health and Prevounce: Transforming Chronic Care Management
In a significant step towards raising healthcare standards,
Johnson Memorial Health (JMH) has joined forces with
Prevounce Health, a forward-thinking provider specializing in remote care management. This partnership aims to deliver a holistic approach to patient care via a new program that integrates
remote patient monitoring (RPM) and
chronic care management (CCM). The initiative promises to reshape how patients living with chronic conditions receive care.
The Rise of Remote Patient Monitoring
With chronic illnesses like hypertension, diabetes, and heart failure becoming increasingly prevalent, effective management techniques have never been more critical. Through their advanced RPM and CCM program, Johnson Memorial Health ensures that patients are monitored closely, even between traditional office visits. Using
cellular-connected devices provided by Prevounce, patients can seamlessly transmit real-time health data, allowing their care teams at JMH to quickly act on any critical changes in their conditions.
Dr. David Dunkle, President and CEO of JMH, emphasizes the importance of this new initiative: "This new program highlights our commitment to innovative technology and care delivery models that keep our patients healthier and better connected to their care teams." With this partnership, the aim is not just to treat chronic conditions but to foster a collaborative care environment where every patient receives the proactive attention they require.
How the Program Works
The newly launched program leverages remote monitoring technology to support patients efficiently. By utilizing Prevounce’s innovative devices, patients can share pivotal health metrics—such as heart rate and blood pressure—directly with their health providers. This real-time data collection allows care teams at JMH to make immediate, informed decisions and interventions tailored to each patient's needs.
In addition to monitoring, participants benefit from continuous support from a dedicated care manager. This professional guides patients through their healthcare journey, assisting them with medication management, advising on lifestyle modifications, and scheduling necessary follow-ups. Such comprehensive care means that patients are not only treated when issues arise but are also educated and empowered to maintain their health effectively.
A Response to Growing Needs in Healthcare
The growing complexity of managing chronic health conditions has made remote care management programs indispensable. With several services under the RPM and CCM umbrella being reimbursable, both JMH and Prevounce understand that these measures not only improve patient engagement and outcomes but also work towards reducing overall healthcare costs.
Prevounce's advanced AI technologies play a crucial role in streamlining the demands placed on healthcare teams. By utilizing its expertise in compliance and reimbursement standards, Prevounce alleviates many administrative burdens, allowing clinicians to focus more on delivering high-quality patient care rather than on regulatory intricacies.
Looking Ahead: Serving Hundreds of Patients
Officially starting in October 2025, the collaboration between JMH and Prevounce sets a target of assisting hundreds of patients in its first year alone. Prevounce is not just a partner; it is integral in facilitating device supplies, patient outreach, education, and ongoing support, ensuring that the clinical team at JMH can prioritize high-quality care.
The fusion of technology with compassionate care symbolizes a new era in healthcare, where chronic condition management becomes proactive rather than reactive. As both organizations embark on this journey together, they pave the way for a future where healthcare systems can adapt to the unique needs of every patient—no matter where they are.
