Reliance is looking to partner with health care organizations to form an Accountable Care Organization (also known as an ACO) to work towards managing patients’ health care and outcomes. Reliance’s outcomes for patients are incredible – better than state and national averages. When providers partner up, they should always look towards those providers that are delivering high quality health care while minimizing costs. Part of our success comes from educating patients, empowering them to work toward independence from health care, and teaching them that dialing 911 doesn't have to be their first route of action in every circumstance. Rather, through this education and our own telehealth technologies (as mentioned in an earlier blog), we make sure that patients don't pay a dime for health care (especially emergency health care) until it is absolutely necessary and appropriate. While this alone can save hundreds of thousands just for our local partners, we can never look to risking health at the cost of saving a few bucks.
Speaking of telehealth, Reliance is partnering with an electronic monitoring company to carry out many of their programs. We are using telehealth for safe remote care and support, so patients can easily contact us, sometimes by just a single push of a button, and let us know if you think you may need to go to the hospital, or ask us if you need to spend such large amounts of money on those expensive medications if you don't have to. That's why we're called Reliance: you can rely on us to keep you safe and comfortable, but you can also know that you can turn to us with any questions you may have as well.
For questions about ACOs, the NPR website has a great Q&A page.
For anything else, there's always us: Reliance Home Health Care
