Reducing Readmissions and Cancelled Surgeries. Improving Surgery Outcomes.
HOUSTON - May 12, 2016 - PRLog -- Synced Care, Inc., a highly innovative entrant in the burgeoning field of patient engagement, announces a partnership with AndCulture to develop a platform and mobile applications to increase patient satisfaction, improve outcomes, reduce cancelled surgeries, and lower hospital readmission rates.
The applications will benefit patients by: engaging them in effective pre- and post-surgery activities proven to have a high correlation with better outcomes; by providing answers to their questions and facilitating timely, two-way communication with their medical team; and by providing them with information to help them plan appropriately with family and caregivers. Doctors and medical care teams benefit from improved ability to track protocol compliance and from streamlined communications with patients. Hospitals benefit from reduced cost of cancelled surgeries and from improved performance on readmission rate targets.
Dr. David H. Berger, Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Synced Care and Professor of Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine and SVP/COO at Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center commented, "Through a combination of expertly curated patient protocols linked to improved surgical outcomes and a highly engaging patient interface, we aim to set new standards for expected outcomes in the surgical arena."
Synced Care collaborates with multiple institutions and provides the ability to customize protocols to conform to unique institutional guidelines. In addition, the platform will allow personalization for individual provider preferences and for relevant individual patient characteristics.
David Hickethier, Chief Technology Officer of Synced Care and Founder of AndCulture said, "AndCulture is employing design-thinking methodologies and best practices to simulate the optimal human experience in the patient-provider relationship for Synced Care applications. Our collaborative and co-creative process brings together the experts in surgery, patient care, and technology."
