lead to nearly 4:1 ROI for a state agency
$209mtotal net savings in first five years
3.95:1 ROI in most recent year
168K patients cared for in six-year periodThe solution
Sagility placed 24 regionally-based care teams throughout Texas to provide one-on-one counseling, assessment, case management, and personal care planning, while coordinating with providers and community resources to support and educate Medicaid patients.
Community-based teams
The program supported eligible patients with regional care teams across the state. This strategy provided patients with regionally-based resources who helped with personalized care plans, follow-up appointments, equipment and medications, and transportation to appointments. Using evidence-based clinical guidelines, these teams coordinated care with the patients’ physicians and treatment teams to work collaboratively on patients’ behalf.
Improved care through innovative solutions
Several inventive pilots were launched in support of the client. An innovative funds pilot program placed a dedicated RN in high volume clinics to assist with coordination of care for eligible patients. A telemonitoring program was conducted for patients with diabetes with training and nutritional counseling. A Six Sigma pilot was conducted to reduce avoidable pneumonia inpatient admissions.
Provider partnership and engagement
The programs promoted improved health outcomes by supporting the provider-patient relationship and building connections between HHSC, providers, patients, and community resources. A focused provider outreach plan informed providers of services available through the program, provided practice support, and enabled collaboration among providers and regional care teams. A program Advisory Board consisting of physicians and members of numerous state professional associations was set up to exchange information, share program performance results, and gather feedback regarding program initiatives and outcomes.
Results
These initiatives improved quality of care for the patients and increased patient and provider satisfaction.
