AlohaCare comprises around 80,000 Medicaid and 2,300 Medicare members to whom Ochsner will now offer remote chronic condition management programs, focusing on patients with hypertension and Type 2 diabetes.
The programs provide members access to medication management, lifestyle modifications, progress tracking and motivational support through digital devices and personalized plans. Additionally, a licensed clinician and professional health coach is assigned to each member to act as a primary care provider, according to an Aug. 7 press release from New Orleans-based Ochsner Health.
