Ochsner Digital Medicine
Ochsner Digital Medicine is a nationally recognized program that is transforming the management of cardiometabolic conditions. The program combines technology with personalized, one-on-one clinical support to deliver tailored care for each member.
Remote cardiometabolic condition management
Ochsner Digital Medicine provides center of excellence care for high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, weight management and hyperlipidemia from anywhere. Our clinically proven program is backed by an 80-year-old health system with a care team model that connects members 1:1 with a licensed clinician and professional health coaching. This allows for true clinical management of the condition versus simply monitoring. We can help your population take control of their condition while driving true financial and clinical outcomes.
One-on-one clinical support
Ochsner Digital Medicine uses an integrated approach to comprehensively address the pharmacological and behavioral aspects of cardiometabolic conditions. With a licensed clinician and professional health coaching, your population will have the support they need to improve their health with a team who specializes in their personal condition.
Our licensed clinicians specialize in managing cardiometabolic conditions. Following current evidence-based guidelines, they adjust medications to find the right treatment for each member. Our professional health coaches are trained in motivational interviewing and behavior change. They work with members to set personal goals and take manageable steps toward a healthier lifestyle.
We also provide digital devices, such as digital blood pressure cuffs and/or glucometers. These devices connect to members' smartphones or tablets and automatically submit readings to their medical record, which is viewed by their care team. Readings are monitored and appropriate intervention is taken as needed.
Better outcomes than traditional care
Digital Medicine is proven to be more successful at managing cardiometabolic conditions than traditional models of care. Four out of five members achieve hypertension and diabetes control within six months. We also see a dramatic impact on utilization with a 38% decrease in ER visits and 27% fewer hospital admissions.
In addition to health benefits, Digital Medicine also has proven financial impact with an average savings of $2,200 per member per year. Moreover, members love the program, giving it an exceptional Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 82. This score measures how likely members are to recommend the program to others.
