Emplify Health by Bellin is teaming with a technology company to help older adults across the region stay healthy and independent in the communities where they live.
The not-for-profit health system is working with Pearl Health by collaborating and enhancing care delivery for 25,000 Medicare beneficiaries across the combined Bellin and Gunderson footprint of 11 hospitals, over 100 clinics, and 1,400 providers in the upper Midwest.
Emplify Health by Bellin serves in rural and small-town Wisconsin, where hospitalization can mean hours away for some people, and by identifying health risks earlier on, “the two organizations aim to support patient wellness and long-term health, giving physicians more time to focus on those who need it most.”
While Emplify Health patients won’t see changes to Medicare benefits, coverage, or out-of-pocket costs, Care teams will get a clearer, timelier picture of each patient’s health with Pearl Health’s predictive analytics.
Emplify Health CEO Dr. Scott Rathgaber says their purpose “is to increase access, amplify empathy and improve population health outcomes across every community we serve. Partnering with Pearl advances all three.”
Both healthcare entities will officially begin the process starting on January 1st next year.
