| Proprietary collaboration will advance a data-driven, personalized approach to chronic care management for individuals utilizing CCS’s LivingConnected® Solution DALLAS, Oct. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CCS — leading provider of clinical solutions and home-delivered medical supplies for those living with chronic conditions — has announced a new technology partnership with WellDoc and ZeOmega to expand its established LivingConnected® solution. This new, proprietary approach to managing chronic conditions will help improve patient outcomes and reduce costs of care for employer groups and health plan customers by integrating clinical device and care utilization data.
The Welldoc digital health tool allows individuals to track device readings and access coaching, and the ZeOmega platform captures utilization patterns and claims data. With the combination of these digital health products powering the LivingConnected® program, certified CCS clinicians will now have real-time visibility into glycemic control to customize member engagement and guide necessary clinical interventions. Also, employers and health plans leveraging LivingConnected® will benefit from being able to better assess the health outcomes and the financial impact of CCS’s holistic chronic care management approach. To date, CCS’s diabetes clinical care management solution, called LivingConnected®, has already positively impacted patient health — including 45% in cost savings for those engaged through one particular large employer group. LivingConnected® is an evidence-based clinical solution developed by CCS using millions of instances of device readings and encounter data to save time and eliminate the guesswork in diabetes management. The solution pairs smart biometric devices with 24/7 monitoring, coaching, advice, education, and support for individuals living with diabetes. “The experience for those living with chronic diseases is fragmented, at best. At worst, it’s negatively impacting the health outcomes and actual lives of patients. At CCS, we know we can do better for these individuals,” said Marian Lowe, EVP and GM of Digital Health at CCS. “That’s why we’re excited to bring together connected device data and marry that to the member’s healthcare utilization through this partnership. Only then can we truly do more to help maximize preventive care and minimize unnecessary use of costly emergency department visits and hospitalizations.” This partnership builds on CCS’s commitment to help individuals living with chronic diseases get on therapy and stay on therapy. Most recently, CCS announced a new CCS Health division to formally expand and scale the education, monitoring, and coaching solutions they provide to health plans and employers. “Welldoc is proud to be part of the LivingConnected® program from CCS in their quest to redefine the approach to chronic care management,” said Keith Reynolds, Chief Operating Officer at Welldoc. “This one-of-a-kind collaboration between our three organizations will enable timely, data-driven patient interactions based on symptoms and behaviors — ultimately helping to personalize chronic care management and provide insights to drive optimal care, engagement, health outcomes, and cost reductions for individuals and specific member populations.” “Through this partnership with CCS and Welldoc, ZeOmega can surface real-time data around metabolic health to drive timely, appropriate interventions,” said Dr. David Sand, Chief Medical Officer at ZeOmega. “Together, we are helping move the chronic care management industry from a retrospective to prospective mindset, improving both the value of care and, more importantly, the well-being of those living with chronic conditions.” To learn more about this proprietary partnership and CCS’s LivingConnected® solution, please visit CCSMed.com.
