One Health Solutions to Utilize Get Real Health Patient Engagement Platform
December 14 2020 - 10:09AM
Business Wire
Get Real Health, a member of the CPSI (NASDAQ: CPSI) family of
companies and a provider of comprehensive patient engagement tools,
announced today that One Health Solutions will utilize the Get Real
Health Patient Engagement Platform as part of its program to
address substance abuse disorders, COVID-19, and chronic health
conditions facing communities in four coal mining counties in
Southwest Pennsylvania.
The program’s primary goals are to prevent deaths by drug
overdose and help patients return to a lifestyle of work and family
support, while ensuring ongoing compliance with
drug-court-appointed treatment programs.
Get Real Health’s chronic care management tools will help
facilitate increased access to treatment and provide remote patient
monitoring for persons with substance abuse disorders. This
technology will enable health experts to monitor and offer
around-the-clock support to patients via mobile phone or other
connected health devices.
Through the Get Real Health smart phone app, patients will have
the ability to communicate with counselors and nurses, track
progress toward recovery goals, and access useful information
whenever and wherever necessary. Personalized care from
professionals will assist in developing healthy recovery‑oriented
habits, avoiding common relapse risks, and documenting recovery
plan compliance.
Additionally, this technology screens for COVID-19 symptoms and
assists patients in managing the virus as well as any common
chronic conditions should the need arise.
“COVID has exponentially increased the problem of substance use
disorder in our region,” stated Vickey Pivirotto, R.N., director of
operations of One Health Solutions. “The isolation caused by this
pandemic is fueling the opioid epidemic, and people are struggling
and at risk of dying. Our health care team will utilize Get Real
Health technology to provide personalized care management to those
individuals who need us the most.”
“We are grateful to One Health Solutions for including our
technology in this vital program as this initiative will save
lives, keep families together and simply help give people a second
chance,” said Robin Wiener, president of Get Real Health. “We can’t
think of a better use of our patient-engagement toolkit than to
actively address a growing epidemic in our communities.”
“The Get Real Health Patient Engagement Platform delivers real
value by helping to improve community health in an innovative way
where it is most needed,” said Boyd Douglas, president and chief
executive officer of CPSI. “By demonstrating that this type of
remote patient care can be delivered in some of the most
economically challenged and dispersed communities, this effort will
be a model for other programs and communities to follow.”
