Solution Architecture Approach

Below is a high-level Solution Architecture that shows a sample of our multi-channel therapy support solutions. Each communication is timed to key events, synchronizing the patient and clinician experience and resulting in:

  • Higher rates of adherence and persistence
  • Better patient–clinician communication
  • Patients engaged/educated about their condition and treatment
  • Clinicians more confident in their patients’ ability to manage treatment
  • Improved management of safety and side effects
  • Patient and clinician satisfaction

Diagnosis/Evaluation

Patient Barriers:
Poor health from primary diagnosis
Lack of knowledge
Psychosocial/emotional issues

Treatment Initialization

Patient Barriers:
Lack of urgency
Lack of therapy routine
Cost of treatment

Ongoing Treatment

Patient Barriers:
Uncertainty of benefits vs. costs
Side effects
Treatment fatigue
Explain all channels
Clinician Skills Training

Presentations, webinars, and print materials educate clinicians about strategies for effective communication and assessing/addressing patient adherence utilizing evidence-based techniques. Topics include: Active Listening, Identifying Non-adherence, Providing Effective Direction, Problem Solving Barriers to Adherence, and Motivational Interviewing.

Interactive Website

Patient websites provide patients with a private space to overcome their barriers to initiation and adherence at their convenience. They feature interactive activities to help patients understand and cope with their condition and, guided tools to help patients develop specific plans to stay adherent. Websites have multi-media functionality, mobile and email connectivity, and separate portals for clinicians and family members.

Starter Kit/enrollment:

A starter kit provides the information essential for setting patients up for a successful treatment experience. A kit typically includes an introduction to the disease and treatment, tips and tools to create a medicine routine, and financial aid resources. It also promotes enrollment in our Nurse Coach Program.

Phone Application:

User-centered apps make the day-to-day management of chronic and complex conditions simple. Features are customized to address the management barriers common to each condition. They may include reminders, injection site tracking, diet tracking, side effect recording, adverse event reporting, and more. Data is packaged into reports and provided to patients and clinicians.

Nurse Phone Coach:

Nurse coaches provide personal customized support using barrier-based talking points to guide their calls with patients. Phone coaches conduct an initial barrier assessment to guide the content of follow-up calls and address patients’ individual barriers. With the patient’s consent, information collected is shared with clinicians through online or secured faxed reports (see Clinician Feedback Loop Touchpoints).

Text Reminders:

SMS are simple, yet powerful. Patients have the choice to sign up for different types of texts based on what they need. Messages can remind patients of appointments, tests, medication, and medication prep, offer motivation and support, and suggest tips to address barriers to adherence. The timing and the type of touchpoints are customized for each program.
