BOSTON, Sept. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Seniorlink,
Inc., a leading tech-enabled health services company, is pleased to
announce a Virtual Care Team pilot with leading health and
well-being company Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), focused on
providing additional care management to the company's Medicare
Advantage members.
The pilot is designed to allow Humana At Home care management
teams to connect digitally with Humana Medicare Advantage members
and their families, so that members with medical and functional
challenges can maintain their independence and receive support at
home. Humana At Home is a division of Humana that identifies and
supports Humana Medicare Advantage members who have multiple
chronic conditions, struggle with daily activities and are
frequently hospitalized, as well as their family members and
caregivers.
Vela, Seniorlink's secure collaboration app, allows care teams,
members and family caregivers to communicate and collaborate more
effectively. By reducing barriers to contact and increasing the
overall engagement of a care team, Vela has helped to improve the
satisfaction of members and family caregivers, alleviate caregiver
burden and reduce overall cost of care.
"We are pleased to collaborate with Humana, a respected,
innovative industry leader, that shares our commitment to
supporting family caregivers and our vision of leveraging
technology to impact care delivery for complex individuals," stated
Tom Riley, President and CEO of
Seniorlink.
The six-month pilot will include up to 250 Humana Medicare
Advantage members and family caregivers in 34 states across the
country.
"Humana remains committed to the long-term health of our members
and to helping seniors across the country achieve their best
possible health," said Cheri Greenfield La Tour, Humana Senior Vice
President of Home Care Operations. "By working on this pilot with
Seniorlink, we hope to keep learning and building on best practices
to help our Medicare Advantage members experience their highest
quality of life in their own homes."
