Member engagement is the holy grail of health insurance providers, and this is especially true for socially vulnerable populations, such as those enrolled in Medicaid or public health programs.

In this webinar, panelists will share how a 9-week program engaged members to improve medication technique errors and engagement, helping to develop healthy habits and improve outcomes. A care team supported patients with high-touch human care, delivered via a mobile, video interface. Through personal relationships, incentives, and small daily reminders to improve program stickiness, we deeply engaged difficult-to-reach populations, spurring meaningful engagement and outcomes centered on medication. This resulted in important changes to a key quality metric.

Attendees Will Learn

• Why member engagement is of critical importance to health insurance providers, and how it forms the basis of supporting healthy habits
• How socially vulnerable members engaged with a care team via a mobile video platform
• How new habits were formed and maintained, and their result on health, outcomes and quality metrics

Telehealth: New Directions? 

So much has been learned since the COVID-19 pandemic first hit the United States in the early spring of 2020, in terms of how telehealth capabilities could be leveraged in times of both crisis and under more moderate conditions.

Dr. Aisling Kelliher: In this talk I will discuss the work of the Interactive Neurorehabilitation Lab at Virginia Tech, where together with our research partners at Carnegie Mellon University, Emory Rehabilitation Hospital and Arizona State University, we are tackling these three issues through developing smart home based rehabilitation systems for stroke and and knee replacement patients.

Abstract: With the aging of the US population, there is an increasing need for effective and accessible rehabilitation services for debilitating illnesses and injury such as stroke. Effective rehabilitation requires intense training and the ability to adapt the training program based on the progress of the patient and the judgment of the therapist. Adaptive home based rehabilitation is emerging as a key avenue for improving health and wellness outcomes with the potential for reducing costs. This form of Smart Rehab can provide evidence-based customization of therapy in the home, together with the increased intensity necessary for better functional outcomes over a shorter duration. While there are a number of challenges to scaling adaptive rehabilitation in the home, the three primary issues are i) replicating the functions of the therapist in the home; ii) motivating the patient to increase adherence and iii) implementing adaptive rehabilitation through low costs systems. In this talk I will discuss the work of the Interactive Neurorehabilitation Lab at Virginia Tech, where together with our research partners at Carnegie Mellon University, Emory Rehabilitation Hospital and Arizona State University, we are tackling these three issues through developing smart home based rehabilitation systems for stroke and and knee replacement patients.
