Now in effect, the agreement establishes a clinically-integrated
approach to improve health outcomes and quality of life for members
with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease
(ESRD). Strive Health coordinates care with the member’s primary
care physician and nephrologist, and other specialists as
applicable, and utilizes predictive analytics technology,
telehealth services, and home dialysis education and training.
Through the expertise of Strive Health’s renal-specialized
clinical teams - which include nurses and nurse practitioners,
dieticians, pharmacists, and social workers – the care coordination
services aim to detect kidney disease earlier, and initiate and
support regular care and treatment routines, to slow disease
progression, reduce hospitalizations, and improve quality of
life.
“Innovative care delivery models are a core focus for Humana in
prioritizing member-centered care that drives improved outcomes,”
said Amal Agarwal, M.D., Humana’s Vice President of Transformative
Home Solutions. “Humana and Strive Health are proud to advance a
more holistic approach to treating chronic kidney and end-stage
renal disease. We are mutually dedicated to more seamless care
coordination and an emphasis on greater patient engagement, both of
which are particularly important as the nation continues to battle
the coronavirus pandemic.”
“Strive exists to fundamentally transform how kidney care is
delivered. We are thrilled about the opportunity to partner with
Humana, which shares our vision,” said Chris Riopelle, Strive
Health’s Chief Executive Officer. “Humana is a health care leader
in offering innovative solutions for its members. By collaborating
to deploy our comprehensive kidney care model, we are working
together toward improving health outcomes, increasing access to
care, and lowering health care costs.”
CKD is the nation’s ninth-leading cause of death. Many people
with CKD are not aware of their condition, in which the kidneys
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.
