Technology-enabled infusion platform Uptiv Health has announced a partnership with Lyn Health, a multi-chronic care provider, to combine infusion therapy and chronic care management through a service called Uptiv360.
Through this partnership, patients will be able to undergo an onboarding process via an app and then be evaluated by a nurse during their infusion visit. Within 48 hours, patients will be connected to their Lyn Health care team and have access to virtual chronic care managed care, including behavioral health services.
“At Linn Health, we are committed to the mission of providing whole-person care to chronically ill patients across the country. There is no doubt that the answers to America’s health care crisis lie at the intersection of chronic illness and mental health. “If we can address our mental health,” said Jane Himmelbo, CEO of Lynn Health, “if we can improve our health early, we can prevent chronic disease from developing or worsening.” Mobi Health News.
“Our partnership with Uptiv Health addresses the comprehensive medical needs of people who have traditionally been cared for with a narrow focus on physical care. We provide the ideal environment for everyone to enjoy the best of both worlds.”
Through Uptiv, patients have access to a multidisciplinary care team, including access to care coordination, care navigation, behavioral health and medication management services.
“Chronic infusion patients are two to three times more likely to suffer from anxiety and depression, and struggle to access behavioral health professionals. With this partnership, we will be able to address behavioral health issues in a patient-centered manner. “We can seamlessly screen for health and chronic condition management issues.” “Using the app, we can connect eligible patients to a professional therapist within 48 hours, which is a game-changer for IV patients. This is an industry first for the IV market,” said Torben Nielsen, CEO of Uptiv Health. Mobi Health News.
