For Health Plans
Why Advance Care Planning?
Iris, powered by Aledade, delivers improved health outcomes, individual experience and cost savings to your plan with our intuitive and customizable advance care planning solutions.
Health plans face challenges in balancing the need to lower costs while transforming healthcare to be more patient-centric. Global healthcare costs, due in part to aging populations and the increasing prevalence of chronic conditions, are at an all-time high, growing faster than inflation and increasing at an unsustainable pace. Our Advance Care Planning solutions can help your plan drive appropriate care utilization and cost savings, improve individual health outcomes and deliver a individual oriented care planning experience.
What We Do
Advance Care Planning
We provide advance care planning services to families dealing with chronic or serious illness. ACP is shown to improve the experience of care while decreasing unnecessary utilization. Unfortunately, the vast majority of seriously ill people do not have access to ACP due to a national shortage of PC providers and other regulatory barriers. Iris fills that need with a highly scalable CACP model.
Family & Caregiver Support
Most caregivers want a voice in their loved one’s care, have questions about care options and need additional caregiver support. However, many caregivers work during the same hours when care is delivered, so they’re often shut out of being fully involved or receiving additional guidance and resources.
Iris brings the family and other loved ones into planning conversations at convenient times, including evenings and weekends. Everyone can express their views, ask questions and share their expectations. Empowering caregivers with ACP and other needed resources drives better outcomes for all.
