SSM Health y Strive Health se asocian para transformar la atención renal

Autor : Strive Health
La empresa conjunta promete intervenciones tempranas, reducción de las hospitalizaciones y mejores resultados, a la vez que reduce el coste total de la asistencia

ST. LOUIS y DENVER (13 de enero de 2020) – SSM Health y Strive Health han anunciado una nueva empresa conjunta para introducir un innovador modelo de atención basado en el valor que mejora los resultados y la calidad de vida de las personas que padecen enfermedad renal crónica y enfermedad renal terminal. SSM Health Kidney Care, en colaboración con Strive Health, proporcionará a los pacientes un acceso sin fisuras a una atención de alta calidad que también es asequible y sostenible.

La atención renal en Estados Unidos ha estado históricamente fragmentada y los pacientes no siempre han recibido la atención coordinada y personalizada que necesitan. De hecho, el 90 por ciento de los pacientes con disfunción renal no son conscientes de su enfermedad y más del 40 por ciento de los pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica nunca han acudido a un nefrólogo cuando sus riñones fallan. La nueva empresa conjunta pretende cambiar esta situación proporcionando una intervención temprana y un enfoque holístico de la atención.

Juntos, SSM Health y Strive Health establecerán centros de atención especializada para estos pacientes que servirán de hogar médico, y también perseguirán el nuevo modelo de contratación de atención renal integral de los CMS anunciado el verano pasado. Su objetivo es ralentizar la progresión de la enfermedad, evitar hospitalizaciones innecesarias y mejorar la calidad de vida de cada paciente mediante un diagnóstico y un tratamiento tempranos, planes de atención totalmente integrados y una mayor adopción de la diálisis en casa.

“SSM Health se compromete a mejorar la vida de nuestros pacientes y la salud de nuestras comunidades, especialmente la de los más vulnerables”, dijo Carter Dredge, director de transformación de SSM Health. “Al asociarnos con organizaciones de ideas afines, como Strive Health, somos capaces de transformar rápidamente la prestación de cuidados para satisfacer mejor las necesidades de aquellos a los que servimos. Estamos encantados de poder ofrecer este nivel de atención renal sin precedentes a nuestras comunidades.”

Los nuevos centros SSM Health Kidney Care, con Strive Health como socio operativo, introducirán un modelo de atención basado en el valor y de alto contacto que rodea a los pacientes con un equipo de especialistas que incluye nefrólogos, enfermeras profesionales, dietistas, farmacéuticos y trabajadores sociales para desarrollar planes de atención integrados y proporcionar educación a los pacientes que a menudo sufren de otras condiciones como la diabetes y la hipertensión.

“La misión de Strive es ofrecer una atención renal experta y compasiva”, dijo Chris Riopelle, director general de Strive Health. “Al combinar el modelo de atención renal especializada de Strive con la mentalidad innovadora y la amplia red de proveedores de base comunitaria de SSM Health, podemos desarrollar un sistema de prestación integral e integrado que transforme el recorrido del paciente en todo el proceso de atención.”

Además de una atención de primera clase, esta nueva asociación basada en el valor pretende aportar esperanza a los pacientes, ya que la intervención temprana es clave para dar tiempo a las personas a buscar un donante vivo entre los familiares y otras personas que puedan ser compatibles.

SSM Health Kidney Care abrirá sus primeros centros en San Luis a finales de esta primavera y explorará las oportunidades de expansión a otros mercados de SSM Health en Illinois, Wisconsin y Oklahoma durante el próximo año
