The health system is launching the pilot project for value-based care patients from Utah’s Salt Lake Valley enrolled in the “house calls” program at Castell, Intermountain’s population health arm.
“Intermountain is focused on helping patients live the healthiest lives possible, but for patients with chronic disease, this becomes challenging,” said Nathan Starr, DO, medical director for the telehospitalist program at Intermountain Health and home services at Castell, in a March 29 news release. “Frequent hospital visits can be very stressful for patients and families, may contribute to functional decline, and are extremely burdensome to the healthcare system.”
The partnership with remote patient monitoring company Sensorum Health aims to keep those patients at home by using passive sensor technology to catch any early warning signs of emerging health issues and then intervening clinically. Intermountain and Sensorum clinical staff will work collaboratively on the project. Program results are expected to be published via white papers in late 2024.
