Leader in Innovation

Wilshire Connected Care is your leader in healthcare innovation. We recognize the need to evolve with the changing face of healthcare, and thus, in partnership with our technology affiliate, Connected Home Living, provide virtual care management. Using modern technology to keep patients connected to a team of RN Case managers and Remote Care Coordinators, we monitor and manage the patient’s health status from their home, enhancing the ability to identify trends for early intervention.

Why is Telehealth Important for Patients?

Telehealth equipment provides instant video access to a care coordinator who then connects with an RN case manager when appropriate. Telehealth monitoring is capable of checking weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, oxygen levels, and automatic medication reminder alerts ordered by a doctor or nurse.

Ideal patients for telehealth are older adults and patients recovering at home with:

• • Congestive Heart Failure
  • Newly diagnosed Diabetes
  • COPD
  • Pneumonia
  • Pain
  • Palliative Care Needs
  • Renal Disease
  • Chronic Health Conditions

By implementing telehealth within a patient’s care, we have been successful in reducing re-hospitalization rate by more than 15% while supporting patients in the best place to recover: at home or in a facility. The California average is over 18%, but patients with Wilshire’s telehealth access have an average rate of about 3%.
