The agreement, now in effect, is designed to improve the health
of individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and better their
quality of life by detecting the condition earlier; slowing disease
progression; and informing the patient about care options, which
may include home dialysis. In conjunction with the patient's
primary care physician, nephrologist, or other specialists,
Healthmap Solutions works to eliminate gaps in care through a
patient-centric approach, streamlining provider communication and
coordinating care. Healthmap Solutions nurses, dieticians,
pharmacists, and social workers bring a multi-disciplinary approach
in providing patient education; health and medication assessments;
and counseling.
“It’s a priority for us at Humana to offer a more integrated
care model that looks at the individual holistically, and takes
into account the member’s personal lifestyle and needs,” said Amal
Agarwal, M.D., Humana’s Vice President of Transformative Home
Solutions. “We are committed to breaking down barriers to
coordinated care for our members with chronic kidney disease and
end-stage renal disease, which is especially critical during this
global pandemic.”
Individuals with CKD cannot properly filter blood, causing waste
and fluid levels that can be dangerously high. Because failure to
appropriately manage kidney disease may cause worsening health
outcomes and considerable symptoms, a proactive approach to kidney
health is critical for an individual’s overall health and
well-being.
“Because both of our organizations believe strongly in the
importance of actively working to defer chronic kidney disease
progression, we’re very pleased to collaborate with Humana,” said
Joe Vattamattam, Healthmap Solutions’ Chief Executive Officer.
“Healthmap Solutions looks forward to applying our expertise in
utilizing clinical data and analytics, and our care management
experience, to help Humana members stay as healthy as
possible.”
