Improve Quality Scores While Lowering Care Costs
Research has demonstrated that digital health and connected care solutions can help lower healthcare costs while enhancing member care and outcomes, which influence quality scores. The implementation of technologies such as personal emergency response services (PERS) and remote patient monitoring (RPM) have been shown to significantly reduce hospitalizations by up to 40%.
Connect America’s remote patient monitoring, personal emergency response and medication management solutions empower Medicare Advantage Plans to support the healthcare needs of their most vulnerable member populations. More than 3,000 provider partners and health plans in the U.S. trust Connect America for delivering safety and care to their members while preventing unnecessary hospitalizations and emergency department (ED) visits.

24/7 Emergency Assistance and Care: PERS deliver quick response times and access to appropriate care that can help reduce complications associated with falls, long lie times and other major health events.
Earlier Clinical Intervention: PERS play a critical role in getting earlier intervention for individuals that can reduce the extent of an illness or injury and help avoid potential hospitalizations and ED visits.
Non-Emergent Support: Helping to reduce feelings of social isolation, PERS provide members non-emergent support such as connecting members with a neighbor, caregiver or community service.

Support Medication Adherence for Better Member Outcomes
Medication management helps ensure medication adherence to improve a member’s health and reduce adverse events due to over- or under-dosage of prescription medications. Medication adherence in older adults is critical to ensuring quality and length of life, better outcomes and overall healthcare costs. The numbers speak for themselves.

Success for Payers and Providers
Ray F. SSM Health
We have had multiple patients press their medical alert pendant after their heart stopped beating for a short time, and because this remote technology enabled them to receive timely care, they survived. It’s clear Connect America cares about the patient as much as we do. By working with a reliable partner, we’ve been able to collaborate and problem-solve when needed to ensure the best possible patient outcomes."
