OneCare Launches Innovative Adherence Management SystemATLANTA, Sept. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- OneCare's groundbreaking new system for medical case management is being rolled out to thousands of chronically ill patients by MagnaCare, a Brighton Health Group company with more than 500,000 covered lives in the Northeast. OneCare, based in metro Atlanta, combines cutting-edge technology with social media, behavioral change methods and family-based communication strategies to revolutionize case management for the chronically ill. The cloud-based, HIPAA-compliant OneCare system:
"We want the best result for the member whose healh is at risk with a chronic illness," said Gary Austin, founder and CEO of OneCare. "Greater compliance means lower health risk and financial risk, lowering the costs to the health plan and creating a healthier member." MagnaCare, a New York-based health plan services company, chose OneCare's Platform to power its EvaluaideSM program for chronically ill patients. Melissa Sirola, director of EvaluaideSM, said, "By involving family members and friends in this care team notification process, members benefit from timely behavior changes that positively impact their healthcare." While the patient is the primary beneficiary, the OneCare system also benefits case management companies, third-party administrators, reinsurance underwriters, employer health plans, benefit consultants, healthcare providers and family caregivers. Michael Remeika, president of Creative Risk Underwriters, LLC, said, "Poor patient adherence with a treatment plan leads to acute issues that are costly, both to the plan and to the patient's well being. The OneCare Platform addresses the issue of adherence, which reduces the frequency and high cost of acute episodes and improves the patient's health outcomes." 60% of all healthcare costs come from preventable causes like poor patient adherence.
