Readmission Reduction Program Launched at FountainView Care Center

FountainView Care Center, a New Jersey Skilled Nursing Facility, and GoMo Health have launched a first of its kind 30-60-90 day readmission reduction program upon discharge for chronic conditions including diabetes, COPD, congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic joint care (CJC), chronic kidney disease (CKD) and sepsis. 

Utilizing GoMo Health’s Personal Concierge™ solution, the Readmission Reduction program was designed with input from Zimmet Healthcare Services Group, LLC, to align with the new CMS Quality Strategy to improve patient transition and care support when discharged from skilled nursing facilities (SNF). The program provides a cost-effective way to reduce readmissions and improve communications, especially for high-risk populations.

“FountainView Care Center’s mission is to provide the highest quality of care for their residents. We understand that many of our residents suffer from illness or disabilities; in addition to superior physical therapy through Kessler Rehab, we are now offering superior transitional care through the first GoMo Health Personal Concierge Readmission Reduction program,”, said Steven Friedman, Director of FountainView Care Center. “This innovative, cloud-based solution enables us to deliver the finest care to our patients in Lakewood, no matter where they are based.”

How it works

The Personal Concierge™ Readmission Reduction program for SNF and PAC facilities enables nurses and administrators to onboard qualified patients and residents just prior to discharge, using a custom, cloud-based Health Risk Assessment (HRA) survey. The survey identifies patients’ procedure(s) or condition(s), captures personal information for the patient and/or caregiver (i.e. weight and other patient risk-oriented and health-related data), and places them in an appropriate engagement track.

“Today’s provider must operate beyond the current ‘volume-based’ reimbursement system and provide measurable, ‘value-driven’ care to remain competitive,” stated Marc Zimmet, President of Zimmet Healthcare Services Group, LLC.  “Provider success is now contingent upon quality, managed care positioning and comparative analytics.  To that end, our new partnership with GoMo Health supports our mission to ensure our clients maintain every competitive advantage.”

GoMo Health Concierge Care^® solutions are currently deployed by dozens of healthcare organizations including health plans, hospitals, health systems and state/city population health management community outreach programs to improve chronic condition management, increase compliance with care plans and to improve adherence to post-transition rehabilitation care.
