How Five Free and Charitable Clinics Across the U.S are Taking On Diabetes and Food Insecurity in Their Community
Discover how five free and charitable clinics across the U.S. transformed their social determinants of health (SDOH) strategy with Deviceless Remote Patient Monitoring. The CareSignal solution used automated text messages and phone calls to assess patient needs and was best suited for the target population because the technology was cost effective, accessible and equitable, and allowed the clinics to reach more patients than they could have with staff alone.Highlights:
- 575 total uninsured patients from five free and charitable clinics from Texas, Missouri, Maryland, and North Carolina engaged with the Deviceless RPM program to increase patient self-management of diabetes and report SDOH needs
- 78% of patients stayed engaged through 10 months
- Patients improved diabetes management with an average 1.8% reduction in A1c
"The Americares platform has infused another layer of communication between the patient and provider team that allows for real time problem solving and action steps.”
